For all of its suspense and campy horror, Stranger Things, at its core, is really just a nostalgic, guilty pleasure. My (very young) Gen Z kids binge it for the gang of children keeping Hawkins, Ind. safe from a Cold War experiment gone deeply wrong, and I watch it for the pre-iPhone, Goonies-like shenanigans—and Winona, of course.
Now, the surreal show has found its footing in the real world, in the form of an ice cream line named after the Scoops Ahoy ice cream parlor in Season 3. The Netflix-owned brand is only sold through Walmart, though, so this may be a limiting factor.
