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

I like Cold Stone and Marble Slab, too, but my first love is still Ben and Jerry's.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
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.
Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :
Wise man once say: sometimes the body needs Ben and Jerry. Sometimes the body needs ColdStone. Now who the heck am I to argue with my body?
I like Ben and Jerrys, except for the fact that if I eat too much, I wake up the next day wanting to die. I like coldstone a lot, too.
However, I am now craving Ben and Jerrys Oatmeal Raisen Crunch or whatever the heck it's called.

I only buy ice cream that's on sale.
Does that make me a Philistine?
If so, does that qualify me as part of an oppressed minority?
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
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.
Posted by The Pixiest (Member # 1863) on :
I dunno.. I always thought ben and jerries tasted more like Ice Crisco than Ice Cream. Cold Stone isn't my favorite either.
I'm happy with Dryer's ice cream from the supermarket.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Wow. If we want ice cream in these parts, we have to drive 20 miles and buy it in a box.
(I'm only slightly exaggerating)
Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :
There is no Ben&Jerry's anymore, just Unilever: the same folk who bring you laundry detergent and other cleaning chemicals.

In my experience, being a Phillistine most definitely does not make you part of a minority Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :
Ben and Jerry's Everything but the Kitchen Sink makes my world turn.
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
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.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
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.
Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :
Cold stone's Ice Cream is way too sweet for me. I'm not a fan.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
I'm pretty sure that's not what Dave Mathews meant by "magic brownies."

Six years, seven months, and three days sans ice cream and counting...

MMmmmm, chocolate therapy!!!
Somehow, the idea of Dave Matthews and magic brownies in the same line makes me wonder?

I don't like ice cream.
But apple ice cream actually sounds kind of tasty.
Posted by Lupus (Member # 6516) on :
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.
Posted by ghost of dkw (Member # 4046) on :
I only see 19 flavors. Where are the other 1,986?
Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :
Carrie,
Frozen Custard fan, are we?
I'll take my grandmother's homemade melts-on-your-tongue vanilla heaven, please.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
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.
That's true love.
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
Nope, no frozen custard or anything else roughly equivalent. I went cold turkey and haven't looked back since. Joys can be found elsewhere.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
wait carrie, aren't you the one who spent time in italy? and no gelato? (sorry if you aren't)
Posted by Lupus (Member # 6516) on :
I just went to ben and jerry's tonight and they didn't have the apply ever after ice cream.
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
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 Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
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.

Don't bottle it up, Ic! Tell us how you really feel!

rivka, you are going to the wedding, aren't you?
I am so looking forward to meeting you. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
I better be!
I have tickets. (But no room reservation. I better get on that.)
I'm looking forward to meeting you and Cor, too. Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
"And she would kiss me afterwards.

It sure is, because I bet your breath was raging!
Posted by Christy (Member # 4397) on :
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 Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

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*
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
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.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
"pint of B & J's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch."
WHAT!!!!!!!!!
I haven't seen it in years!! Where, where, where???
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
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...
Posted by Traveler (Member # 3615) on :
Resistance is futile!
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Oh, Traveler, thank you! There is some only a mile away! I really thought they had abandoned it!
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
I just went in to beg them to resurrect Chocolate Mystic Mint. Oh, the pain of loss!
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Bump for Dag. (Read my post about the ice cream maker)
Posted by Christy (Member # 4397) on :
We might be interested if Dag's not, Liz. Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
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.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
We might be moving, so acquiring a kitchen appliance I'll use obsessively for a month and then let get dusty might be best delayed until after we know for sure.
But thanks for the offer.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
OK, Christy, it is yours! I just-ahem-do take a while to get things in the mail...
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Bump for Christy, now.
Posted by Christy (Member # 4397) on :
Whee!
What would you like for it? We could trade you a contact roaster... *grin*
