Cherry Garcia is pure heaven!!!  Unfortunatley, the amount of fat & calories is pure EVIL! :D

Chunky Monkey is pretty darn good too.

They also make Cherry Garcia Frozen yogurt which is good too.
However, I voted Other.  My 2 favorites are Mint Chocolate Cookie and Coffee Heath Bar Crunch.

Chunky Monkey and Pistascio, Pistascio. YUM!  ;D  I also like Rainforest Crunch but they don't make it anymore.  :\'(


I Love Ben & Jerry's. These two guys are great-not just because of their ice cream but because of their social concern. They donate to a lot of social causes. Also, their employees are given a free pint of ice cream-EVERY DAY!!! We used to get free ice cream from them for our food shelf. But, I don't know if they are still the same now that company has been taken over by Unilever.  :( B&J still donates ice cream but now it goes to the state foodbank and we have to pay the foodbank if we want it.  :(

Never tried it.  I have never really been an ice cream fan.  I always prefered the entree to the desert.

Another flavor I like.

Thing is, I love ice cream in general. So there are many flavors I don't dislike.

Edit: I hate it when I forget a word I needed to put in a sentence.

well geez Step-chan, why didn't you tell us then how good it was  ;D  it is pretty good and more so because I had not eaten lunch at work, and had that while I was hungry so it tasted all the more better

Are there any flavors of B&J's ice cream that are not good? I don't think so  :)

I also liked Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (chocolate ice cream with, you guessed it, balls of raw peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough),  which is now resting in peace in Ben and Jerry's flavor graveyard.  :\'(

Well, I casted a vote just now. Other: Cookie Dough. Plain and simple.

Problem is: B&J's isn't widely available in supermarkets over here. The nearest supermarket has maybe 3 varieties, so it's slim pickings. I usually end up with Cookie Dough. I think I've had the Karamel Sutra variety as well, and I liked it, but as I said: it's not always available.

Ben & Jerry's flavor honors Elton John

July 16, 2008

By JOHN CURRAN The Associated Press


MONTPELIER — Ben & Jerry's has done it again: Hoping to honor rocker Elton John before his first Vermont performance, Vermont's crazy-cool confectioner has whipped up a flavor just for him — "Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road."

The limited-batch ice cream, made of chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks, is a take-off on his 1970s album and song "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."

It will be available July 18-25 in the company's Vermont scoop shops, with proceeds going to the Elton John AIDS Foundation, officials said Tuesday.

It'll also be doled out in cups, cones and dishes at John's Champlain Valley Expo show Monday.

The Burlington-based ice cream maker, whose rock-'n'-roll-themed products have honored late Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia (Cherry Garcia) and Vermont-bred jam rockers Phish (PhishFood), wanted to toast John because he was finally getting around to playing the Green Mountain State.

He's performed in every other U.S. state.

"It's hard to cram 50 years of musical history that Elton John brings to the table in one pint," said Sean Greenwood, a spokesman for Ben & Jerry's Homemade Holdings Inc.

John collaborated, and has given his stamp of approval to the ice cream, even though he hasn't actually tasted it, Greenwood said.

"He said, 'Chocolate and peanut butter, guys, if you can make something like that work,"' Greenwood said.

Tickets for the show — which sold for $75 to $135 — are sold out.

I think I've seen that one in stores before. Unfortunately, I rarely am able to afford Ben & Jerry's.

I remember them having one called Peanut Butter & Jelly, which was peanut butter ice cream with bits of peanut butter and a strawberry jelly swirl in it. I liked it alot, too bad they don't make it anymore(at least where I live).

Chocolate Ice cream with chunky peanut butter swirl is great too - only problem is it's only available so far in the Ben and Jerry's stores.

unfortunately it is in the flavor graveyard.  I am not a Cherry Garcia, or Chubby Hubby, or even a Phish food gal; so I haven't found another flavor in this location - Iowa; that I like.  So sad :\'(
