When I first came to U of I, the first things I learned were how to register for classes, how to live in the dorms, and to make sure that I try pokey sticks from Gumby's. Let me tell you that the first time I tried them, I didn't like them. I didn't think they were that special. They're really just cut up pizza bread ish slices with marinara sauce for dipping. However last year, I must've had a bad batch. I tried them again this year and they were pretty good. I also had their wings, which were good. Be careful though, because my friend ordered a pizza from them and there was a huge bug baked in with it. And they wouldn't give her a refund for it!
