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:

:lol:

I do miss Dastardly Mash.

The BEST B&J's that I ever had was their "factory seconds", you could get it at their store. It was the sludge from the bottom of the vat when they were finishing up a batch. Soooo goooood.

In the late 80's I sold a car to their east coast rep, he gave me a stack (like 50) coupons for free pints. I gained about 10 pounds over the next few months.

My Ex actually did her MBA thesis on B&J at the time when they still had their 6:1 salary ratio.

I remember the Factory Seconds. I haven't seen those in a long time. I'd always take those over the standard blend.

I'd pay good money for a Factory Second's pint of Red Velvet Cake.

Had Peanut Brittle recently and that would make for an awesome factory seconds option as well.

INterestingly, reading through all the different flavors weveryon elikes, I realized I never eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream. I'm not a fan of a bunch of stuff in my ice cream (a high quality vanilla is lovely), and I tend to gravitate towards sorbets and gelatos more (Ciao Bella makes both wonderfully).

A good rocky road, though, is a joy to behold...

I'm not sure if I should say "Oh my god C-ten" (as in I can't believe you've never tried Ben and Jerry's) or "Oh my god C-ten" (as in DON'T ever try Ben and Jerry's unless you want to have to soon buy a newer, larger sized wardrobe!) ;) :lol:

Heh- already got the larger size wardrobe...

It's not that I've never eaten it before, I just don't ever buy it. Probably a good thing, overall.

Love the name of the latest flavor, but it's not exactly enticing me to want to try it... :lol:

NY Super Fudge Chunk. Heard today they are coming out with a tribute to Sat Night Live. An old skit with Alec Baldwin. The flavor is Shweaty Balls. Can't wait!

Don't eat it anymore (just stick with Edy's) but when I did my favorite was Chunky Monkey. My daughter's favorite is Dublin Mudslide.
