    That’s the literal translation, yes.

    oppai aisu = boobs ice (oppai is boobs)

    meron shaabetto = Mellon sherbet

    daigaku imo aisu = university potato ice (daigaku is university, imo is potato. The kanjis literally translate to that, but it really means baked sweet potato.)

    And approx $1.50 for ice cream is a hell of a good deal.

      For the 3rd, usually you flip the order (same as skipping the の). So 大学芋アイス could read as “University’s Potato Ice(cream)” while 芋大学アイス reads (Potato University’s Ice(cream)"
