Mmmmmm, I'm going to have to find a scoop shop to try "Appley Ever After", 'cause that looks like my kind of flavor.

Of course, if Bluebell made more innovative flavors, I'd run to them in a second. When buying for home consumption, that's what we go for.

Apply ever after sounds interesting, but I don't do ben and jerry's. If I'm getting ice cream, it'll be from White Mountain, a local place in Bloomington (if you live here, and have never been there, you need to). They make it on sight, and usually a tub sells out in a few days, so it's very fresh and yummy.

There is no Ben&Jerry's anymore, just Unilever: the same folk who bring you laundry detergent and other cleaning chemicals.

I love Marble Slab, but I don't like Cold Stone. Unfortunately, we have a Cold Stone about two miles away from home, and Cor has irrationally decided that it is her favorite. I dislike it so much I will pass on having any ice cream when I take Cor there, or when I go there to pick up something for her. (If you knew me, you'd know what a big deal this is.)
Cold Stone's cookie dough tastes like soap. Their ice creams are mediocre and flavorless. (The singing is cute, though!)
What really sucks is that we have not been back to Marble Slab once since the stupid Cold Stone store opened a couple of months ago.

These were the flavors of my college days in Vermont, when Ben and Jerry had two stores in Burlington, and only local supermarkets sold the ice cream.

I prefer cold stone to B&J but since B&J is only a block from my church I end up going there quite a lot after our Wed night meetings. I have to say, I'm not all that impressed with their new flavors this year...but they are convenient and several of the people at my church love them, so I'll still go there.

Best ice cream ever is Chocolate Chip from Graeter's in Cincinnati. They place huge slabs of dark chocolate in the churn and let the blades break it up.
Eve doesn't like chili or ice cream, yet she would take me to Skyline's and Graeter's when I visited her in Cincinnati. And she would kiss me afterwards.

Nope, no frozen custard or anything else roughly equivalent. I went cold turkey and haven't looked back since. Joys can be found elsewhere.

I was in Greece, and I was tempted by what one of my professors called the "best gelato in the world." But I was stronger than that Posts: 3932 | Registered: Sep 1999

Skyline Chili is vomit in a little bowl. Not remotely like Chili. They ought to be shut down for false advertising for labeling the slop they sell as chili.

We live by Edy's Grand Light, now. Their mint chocolate chip is divine. The ice cream is silky smooth because of a new churning/smaller crystallization technique. We actually saw it in Jun04's Discover magazine "The physics of...ice cream" first.
Ben and Jerry's still has the best variety of flavors, though Posts: 1777 | Registered: Jan 2003

Hmmmph. First, it comes on a plate. A big plate. Second, Greek chili is far superior to that beef stew they pass off as chili down in Texas.
Somehow, I'll retain my respect for you, Ic, despite your obvious mental disease which manifests itself as inexplicable hostility to the best chili in the world.

Lately I've been making all of my own ice cream...gelato..sorbetto..etc. However, last night I did give in to tempation and bought a pint of B & J's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. *yummy*

You do have to keep the bowl in the freezer until you are ready to make something...but that makes this alot less expensive then the built-in refrigeration models.

Dagonee, I have an extra ice cream maker, the kind you put in the freezer? They work really well. If you want it, let me know and i will send it in my usual timely fashion. Seriously. It is going on Ebay otherwise.

Why, why did I have to open this thread a mere five minutes before getting into my car, driving, parking, and then, forcibly walking directly past a Ben & Jerry's? I knew from the title there could be potential danger within, and yet, I opened! Stupid, foolish Hatrack! I must now depart and face a raging battle with my will power...

Oh, Traveler, thank you! There is some only a mile away! I really thought they had abandoned it!

Heck, Christy, I should just send you the other one, then. I've had them both for at least three years, and nary a frozen droplet of ice cream have I made. A friend has one, and makes such good ice cream. I think you can even just dump yogurt in there.
