Current Favorite Ben and Jerry's Flavor?

[deadheadskier]

Hadn't noticed until recently, but they seemed to have changed up a lot of their flavors.


Bought some Red Velvet Cake last weekend. Stuff is Frozen Crack in a carton. soooo good

My favorite is and always has been Cherry Garcia, followed closely by Chunky Monkey.

I can't resist either.

Agreed about the Red Velvet Cake - I bought a pint of that for my kids a few weeks ago, and have subsequently bought many more for the kids and the grownups in the house!

The new S'mores flavor is pretty tasty too I will say.

My all time favorite though is still Cinnamon Buns - pure heaven for my taste buds!

I have, and continue to be, completely partial to Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

Coffee Heathbar Crunch has been my favorite since the 1980's

I'll have to give that velvet stuff a try. We like having icecream at night by the firepit. For now, it's mint chocolate chip and cookie dough...a few scoops of each topped with a little hot fudge and sprinkles.

True story. My father worked in corporate finance for Bank of Boston in the 80s. Ben & Jerry showed up in overalls looking for a loan when they were looking to expand from their original one store location in VT.

He thought the two hippies in overalls were crazy and turned them down.

Ben and Jerry are communists.

Their corporate overlords at Unilever are, on the other hand, capitalists.

Ben and Jerry are wealthy communists.

Fixed it for you.

Fixed it for you.

Nice.

From the press release announcing the sale:

In commenting on the transaction, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the co-founders of Ben & Jerry’s, said: “Neither of us could have anticipated, twenty years ago, that a major multinational would some day sign on, enthusiastically, to pursue and expand the social mission that continues to be an essential part of Ben & Jerry’s and a driving force behind our many successes. But today, Unilever has done just that. While we and others certainly would have preferred to pursue our mission as an independent enterprise, we hope that, as part of Unilever, Ben & Jerry’s will continue to expand its role in society.”

Interesting.


And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Coffee Heathbar Crunch

Chocolate Fudge Brownie

Cherry Garcia

Yes Yes and Yes

Chubby Hubby is up there too. Something about having those salty pretzels in the mix does it for me.

Today was the first time I saw Vanilla B&J at my grocery store. Pretty darn good. I don't like Chocolate so Vanilla is just about the only ice cream I eat.

Phish Food dude.

Phish Food dude.

can't eat it.

They introduced that flavor at a benefit Phish show at the Flynn Theatre in Burlington, VT. I was at the show and everyone got a free pint. Given that Phish typically plays venues in the 12-20K range, to see them in a 1400 seat theatre was pretty special. My friends and I partied VERY hard given the special occasion. Got home from the show, ate the whole pint and gave it all back to the porcelain gods every 30 minutes for about the next 12 hours. :lol:

I typically have the stomach of a Billy Goat, but because of that night, I haven't been able to eat Phish Food since.

That's a crime...so delicious.

1400 seat sounds pretty awesome. Wait until I convince those guys to come to the Stone Church with a charmingly worded email. You and the town will owe me big time.

I sent one such email to Xavier Rudd about 5 years ago. I'm expecting a reply anytime now.

 

[deadheadskier]

:lol:

Out of the 70 odd Phish shows I've seen, it certainly ranks up there as one of my favorites.

They did play the Stone Church in the 80s. Born to late

I'd be happy if they fall in popularity enough to play Meadowbrook or BOFA pavillion in Boston.

That's funny sh!t DHS.....literally. :lol:

B&J Vanilla has been around forever. I tend to buy it to go with things.... strawberry shortcake, peach cobbler, brownies.... I think it's the best store-bought vanilla on the market. Mom & pop ice cream stand ice cream that was made that day is better but I don't have much access to that.

I rarely eat it but my wife always goes for Phish Food
