Product News Flash
I was at my local supermarket yesterday and noticed some new Ben & Jerry's flavors. The ones I saw were:
* Neopolitan Dynamite (Cherry Garcia® and Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice creams, side by side)
* Turtle Soup (Vanilla ice cream with fudge & caramel cashews & a caramel swirl)
* Vermonty Python (Coffee liqueur ice cream with a chocolate cookie crumb swirl & fudge cows).
Other new flavors that I didn't see, but are on their web site:
* Jamaican Me Crazy (sorbet)
* Strawberry Kiwi Swirl (sorbet)
* Berried Treasure (sorbet)
* Black and Tan (Chocolate & Cream Stout Ice Creams Topped with a Cream Stout Ice Cream Head)
* Cones in a box
I got Vermonty Python to try. I'll let you know how it is. This is their little schpiel: "We interrupt ourselves with much hooting through tin horns to bring you this brilliant new ice cream, made from dried shrubbery and old cereal packets. This is a ripping good flavor, really, so buy it quickly and run away, silly person, or we shall taunt you a second time."*
I also want to try Black and Tan and Turtle Soup. I don't like sorbets that much, so most likely I won't be trying those, if any of you do post your thoughts!
For those of you who are super-interested in Ben & Jerry's, here's a list of their top 10 flavors (again, from their web site, and if you ask me, their web site is a pain in the ass because it's Flash so you can't click "back" to get back. That's also why I can't link to individual flavors to make it easy for you, my dear readers, to click straight to the flavor you're most interested in.)
- Cherry Garcia® Ice Cream

One last fun thing: check out their flavor graveyard. My parents visited this graveyard in Vermont, it's actually a tangible thing, not some Internet fantasy. R.I.P. Wavy Gravy, I loved you.
* copied and pasted just for you, momster!
[edit] confidential to kww - i'm sad to report that your sweet Entangled Mints™ is listed in the flavor graveyard.

I don't care WHAT it has in it- if somethings called Vermonty Python I'm going to try it! The bonus is- the ingredients sound quite yummy. And, Bladio, you know me so well that you included that wonderful schpiel because you truly understand my affinity for shrubbery and killer rabbits. I can't wait to visit my local ice cream aisle.
Oh my gosh- there's a flavor (in the graveyard) called FESTIVUS!!!!
It doesn't say what was in it, though.
i seem to recall some cinnamon action involved in "festivus". not sure though.
Ever since we had it at the local Thai restaurant, me and RaggedyAngst have been searching for coconut ice cream. We finally found it at Top Foods. The next morning we woke up on the kitchen floor, empty containers around us, with no memory of the night before when we ran through the forest... um... nevermind.
Yes! Neopolitan Dynamite (Cherry Garcia® and Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice creams, side by side) is my dream come true! Those are my 2 favorite flavors in the whole wide world and I can never decide which to buy! Now I will never have to decide again! Thank you Ben & Jerry!
I vote a big YAY for vermonty python and black and tan. both good. black and tan is kind of weird. vermonty python is extremely good with no weirdness.
ooh can't wait to try v.p.
