Ben & Jerry's flavors for 2006

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Feb 23rd 2006 @ 12:53PM

Okay, I know we're well into the new year, but I just happened to notice the list of 2006 flavor releases from Ben & Jerry's. Some are pretty interesting, or at least good for a chuckle. Making a beer milkshake one step easier, B&J now offers a Black & Tan ice cream—cream stout ice cream blended with chocolate ice cream. There's also Vermonty Python, a blend of coffee ice cream, cookie crumbs and little fudge cows. And then (sigh) there's Neapolitan Dynamite, which appears to just be Cherry Garcia and Fudge Brownie in the same tub.

I submitted mine (called Spike's Soul, because I was/am so horribly obessesed over Buffy/Angel, heh..) it was Pineapple ice cream with a light swirl of a cherry-or-strawberry-like syrup and one chocolate covered cherry in the middle (like how'd they be able to do that, no idea). The ice cream represented Spike's hair, the swirl as blood for a vampire, and the chocolate covered cherry as his heart/soul that he truly had.

Ok I'm going to go and hide in embarassment now. But I think that mixture would have been yummy.

One time I had a Ice Cream sandwich from Ben & Jerry's at a pier here in a suburb of Cleveland. The sandwich part was the chewiest brownie I have ever had and also with chocolate chunks I believe then that great vanilla ice cream! It was so yummy and when I went back in the summer they didn't sell Ben & Jerry's stuff anymore. It was so great and I looked for it everywhere! What happened? I went to a Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop and they didn't have it not to mention they didn't have a real great selection. What's up with that? Bring back the Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich, Holy Cannoli and Rainforest Crunch!!!! I loved them sooooo much!!!!

I have taken the tour at the Vermont factory a couple of times. Last time, we asked about Rainforest Crunch and I am sad to report, they are no longer able to make it. As you may know, they only use natural and organic ingredients from local growers. There is an ingredient in Rainforest Crunch that they have been unable to get for a few years now, so, it's retired.
