Can someone go check on Cincinnati? I think they might be having some mental health issues.

I believe Skyline Chili-flavored ice cream should meet the definition of a food crime

From a food review over at Dayton Daily News:
Skyline Spice with Oyster Crackers reminded me of a slice of pumpkin pie. The ice cream itself tasted like cinnamon and nutmeg with the oyster crackers giving a salty taste similar to a pie crust, but crunchier.
I'd eat a pint of that.
Someone in our sister office bought one for people to sample today. The one review I heard was that it wasn't bad, like salted pumpkin spice. That makes sense because Skyline chili is not chili. I've been calling it pumpkin spice meat sauce for years.
- I'm gonna have to try some of that chili, it sounds as good as the ice cream does.
  
  The spaghetti chili is really good; but it does not taste the way they just described it.
I assumed this was Photoshop/AI.
Nope. It's real
- I was instantly revolted when I read chili and ice cream on the same product because I was imagining frozen beans, but it’s apparently just a bit of the chili spice and some oyster crackers, which are basically like adding a sugarless wafer. Weird but not as deranged as I feared.
I'm really glad I'm on the West Coast with at least 2300 miles separating me from this horror show.
As a lover of Cincinnati chili (Gold Star) and graeters … this sounds like an abomination. 🤢
- Well, you like Gold Star, so your taste buds are already suspect.
  
  Skyline and Gold Star are both excellent, in my opinion.
- My mum made “Cincinnati Chili” one day and she apparently made it properly with a popular recipe… I hated it so much. I felt so bad. I looked at my pops and he was like “……yeah let’s make something else”
  Gawd, I felt so bad. This was like 20 years ago and I still feel bad about it. I love her food otherwise.
  
  I love Cincinnati chili, but you absolutely cannot go into it expecting chili 😅 it is completely it's own thing
  
  I eat Cincy chili straight up, multiple times a month. I'm not sure I'd eat a homemade version, not sure why
- Honestly really good. Like pumpkin pie but the oyster crackers tie it all together as that Chili flavor. Definitely a fan. But graeters basically does no wrong.
  
  I guess I was just thinking of full on 3-way flavor in ice cream form. I can kinda see how a hint of the spice could be interesting.
Great, now I want skyline and I don't have the spice mix. I really need to look up w copycat recipe and make some. Sure as hell not going to the US for it.
- I use this recipe and it's pretty good. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/206953/authentic-cincinnati-chili/ I cook the ground beef in water the day before then put the pot in the fridge overnight. I remove the fat from the top before cooking the next day and use a bit more of all the spices than the recipe calls for.
  
  Thank you! I'll give it a shot
Are you fucking kidding me? OYSTER crackers too? These fuckers are insane.

To be fair, Skyline Chili originally started as a spaghetti sauce. Putting chilli in weird places is their speciality.
What's so weird about that? Here we have jalapeno cookies
- Tell me more about these cookies!
I want to try this but I haven’t been back to Cincinnati in years.
