Vote to renew a retired Ben and Jerry's Flavor!

My favorite was Wavy Gravy! That stuff was hella good!

White Russians are retired? I could have sworn that I had one of those in Chapel Hill a few months ago.

I didn't think they made Ben & Jerry's anymore, period. Do they? You've given me hope!

I have trouble finding it around here. Guess I'm just not looking in the right spot. *sigh* Now at least I don't have to cry every time I wear my tie-dye "Cherry Garcia" t-shirt.

I think it is a New England thing. I've been in every other part of the country, and haven't seen it represented nearly as much as it is here.

I wish Baskin and Robbins (what few stores they have left) would bring back English Toffee.

It seems like a few more have sprung up around here in New England when paired with Dunkin Donuts. I don't see too many starting up on their own, though.

I remember a B & J flavor... I think it was Oatmeal Cookie. I never see it anywhere though. But I didn't see it on the list either.

But I'm down for anything with PB and Chocolate in it.

Cool Britannia

The summer I worked at a bible camp this was the desert of choice for the staff. The mini deep freeze in the staff HQ cabin was filled with only this ice cream for 3 months. Anytime you needed a break from the kids, just plop down in a couch in the HQ cabin and have some ice cream.

I also voted for Cool Britannia

As I am well versed in Ben and Jerry's ( I worked there for 7 years) I can tell you we lost our fair share of kick ass flavors to non popularity with the mass market. One of my many favorites was Chocolate Raspberry Swirl.

And incidentally Jill, there were 2 different formulations of Wavy Gravy. The original was way sweeter than the 2nd, it was a caramel brazilnut ice cream with caramel swirls and chocolate covered toffee chunks. The 2nd (and my preferred wavy) had chocolate hazelnut swirl.
Ahh...the good old days.
