"Puttin' on the Ritz" wins Ben & Jerry's flavor contest

Clearly, the "flavor experts" at Ben & Jerry's are not Slashfood readers because if they were, they would know that everyone wanted either Italian Renaissance or Wackie Chan to win the new flavor contest. It was one of our most commented-on posts of all time because just about everyone likes ice cream and we don't get the chance to design a really fantastic new flavor every day. We'll have to wait until a future round comes up for our next shot at Wackie Chan because Puttin' on the Ritz is the new flavor.

The ice cream is vanilla based with swirls of caramel and Ritz crackers, studded with chunks of chocolate-covered, caramel-filled Ritz cracker sandwiches. It's safe to say that the "cracker swirls" are made from crushed crackers, though how they'll stay crunchy in the ice cream is anyone's guess.

As it turns out, in a twist that wasn't clear before, the company is only going to make the flavor available to the Florida woman who invented it and her family and friends for the time being. Whether the rest of us will even get to taste the concoction remains to be seen.

Thank goodness. That flavor sounds absolutely
disgusting. Shoot, the teams
on the Apprentice came up with
better ice cream flavors than that one.
