[QUOTE=The Solution;982764093]let me know if you can find cannoli![/QUOTE]
Hmm... to be completely honest I'd say be patient about it. It's not worth hunting for. Trust me it's good, but not so amazing that I would put forth my best effort to get it.

[QUOTE=Tdiguy;982755743]Last greek of the bunch tonight...i personally think pb banana is best, then blueberry then this then ss i didnt like strawberry short cake at all
[/QUOTE]
Can't disagree with you here, although I'd say blueberry is a very close second to the banana pb.

Be patient, lets see my stores dont carry any limited edition flavors,
My targets dont have any exclusive flavors
My whole foods dont supply Jenni's
There is no private selections anywhere near me.
I dont even have Blue Bunny Pints around my area either..
My luck for ice cream is not very good where i live.

question for ya'll: what's better froyo option? adonia blueberry or oikos blueberry?

[QUOTE=StephSkywalker;982515863]Ummm, went to my local Target last night... The last time I was there, they had Cannoli in stock, but for whatever reason this time all the Cannoli was gone and Key Lime Pie was back.. What gives with that?[/QUOTE]
The Target I finally found my Cannoli at also had KLP at the same time. I also went straight to the ice cream when I got there, and there was no Cannoli. I did the rest of my shopping and decided to pick up a pint of something else and when I went back there was one single pint of Cannoli. When I went to the store again there was none, but still plenty of KLP.

[QUOTE=MetilHed;982786343]This.[/QUOTE]
Agreed, and I even ranked it highly. The money you'd spend on all the work associated with shipping would be better spent on a shipment of Graeter's or Jeni's (or Steve's although I haven't tried any).

[QUOTE=The Solution;982764093]let me know if you can find cannoli![/QUOTE]
I'm going to do my best to hit up the grocery store on my way back to PA friday. They have peanut brittle, which is something I really do want to try-plus I can use my almost full cannoli pint for something else. The only drawback is I'm going to have to buy a cooler. Would the Ice cream stay frozen for 6 hours on ice? Not sure it's going to work and then would end up being a waste of money and ice cream. Thoughts?
Oh BTW, I'm a 30 minute drive from OCC (in the other direction, so 1 hour of driving). So close...but too far.

I've got him covered on OCC. I'll check for Cannoli this weekend as well, but that's a crapshoot since all I've got to go on is a sketchy lead about 25 minutes away from the unofficial flavor locator.

If you can get BOTH, that would be much easier than having Crucifist ship it, i can pick it up when i see my brother in 2 weeks..

Seeing how It's Thanksgiving, and I really didn't want any Pumpkin Pie, and i couldn't [I]find[/I] Pumpkin Cheesecake B&J, but I still HAD to have SOMETHING sweet... I went ahead and Re-[B]re[/B]scooped Cinnamon Buns.
[B]
I loved it. [/B]
It was odd. The first time I tried it, I was amazed. Great taste, savored every moment. The second time I had it, several weeks ago, I was disappointed beyond all belief. However I was reading up on a few NoLA flavors, and that flavor popped into my mind. So, I went out and grabbed it. I told myself this morning that I [B][I]"Probably wont really like it enough to finish the pint, so i'll be good for Thanksgiving Dinner." [/I][/B]
I. Was. [I]Wrong[/I].
I finished the whole pint without paying much attention except to the fact it was just... good. lol. Next thing I know my spoon hit the bottom of the container, and i'm left there with a bertstare into my empty pint. (o)_(o) well... soo much for Thanksgiving dinner, at least I can still have Sweet Potatoes, Turkey, and a Salad, lol.
I think that the reason Ben & Jerry is a hit or miss on some flavors is because it's really reliant on leaving a lasting impression sweet taste in your mouth. Some, you get that, others you don't. It can't be too sweet, or too dull either, it has to be spot on. For instance, [B]Late Night Snack[/B] leaves you wanting more, and not so satisfied because of the lasting sweet and salty taste it leaves you. You actually feel unsatisfied because of the ending combination of flavors. You expect there to be just a [I]little[/I] bit more. I digress, Cinnamon Buns had a very cinnamon'y bottom with the swirls, only a few of the dough pieces, and it relied mostly on the ice cream itself. I don't know if it was me that accidently caused it to end up that way due-to how I was eating it but, if not. Well played B&J, well played.
9.5/10.
I also happened to notice that my second pint of Cinnamon Buns, was very soft, and more like the Greek Yogurt consistency. Think, Banana Peanut Butter. This pint, and the first was a very some-what hard to scoop through without bending your spoon consistency, and apparently I seem to like that better. Might go explode on a workout session to get a few more calories in. Tis the season.

Don't have the time to get OCC before I leave. The Canoli is right on the way to PA. Plus it would be in a cooler for 6.5 hours if I did that. I really want to though...I want to have a pint for myself.

Cinnamon Buns>>>>Any Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie[/QUOTE]
My family is full of ice cream fanatics and so we literally have 6 varieties on deck for the Thanskgiving weekend. I was in charge of B&J flavors and went with the classic half baked and oatmeal cookie crunch (delicious), but with all of the reviews of Cinnamon Buns I might need to go out to pick that up as well.

[QUOTE=usawinston;982941673]Cinnamon Buns>>>>Any Pumpkin Pie, Apple Pie[/QUOTE]Seems that way bro. I really [I]really[/I] enjoyed this pint. Top 3 for sure. It seems like I have to be more selective and careful about choosing pints now. I now see how something so simple as a refreeze, can actually [I]hurt[/I] a pints flavor. I mean, not only am I known for going into a Kroger, and picking up a handful of Ben & Jerry pints at a time, now I have to actually examine them like some crazed scientist looking to see if they were refroze by pressing on the top of the lid, turning it upside down... wow... and to think that I'm actually a small guy, lol... If I keep this up people are going to think I'm just bribing my own Jabba the Hut living in my basement because, I always walk in there skinny, and they see me walk out with like 4-5 pints at a time [I]every[/I] week.
What can I say, I like Ice Cream =)
Pint-a-Day keeps Teh Doctahs away.
I'll probably run out of Ben & Jerry's pints sooner or later though. Spoke to Adrian Simpson yesterday (New Orleans Ice Cream Company Owner) and I might just be trying and reviewing some of his flavors =)
[B]Oh yeah, 3rd week of December IceCreamSource orders Café au Lait & Beignets from NoLA. Adrian Simpson let me know. So be on the lookout for that, and order it while you CAN! lol.
[/B]
God Bless everyone, Happy Thanksgiving, and with no disrespect to your religions, Happy Holiday's, and Merry Christmas. =)

lol, hey quick question guys. I remember I used to eat a lot of Pop-Tarts as a kid.
Was very fond of S'mores but, it looks like they have the limited edition Sugar Cookie out. I know this is an Ice Cream thread but, has anyone had this? I never have. I hear they are amazing.
1 B&J Cinnamon Buns Pint - 280 calories, per 1 serving, 4 servings total container. = 1,120 Calories, 16 grams of protein.
1 Packages of Pop-Tarts - 200 calories per 1 pastry serving, 2 servings total in 1 package. = 400 calories, 4 grams protein. (I could fit freaking 3 packages in my macros.)
So, should I pick these up? Would probably do me good to lay off Ice Cream until my OCC arrives next week (Love you Cru.) so, just debating this.
INB4 Pop-Tarts will snap my s*it up, are the devil, etc.
No Hydrogenerated oils in them, no man made Trans fat. I'm good with it for a one time thing =)

Ice Cream >>>>>>>>> Pop Tarts.

[QUOTE=ErickStevens;982962563]Ice Cream >>>>>>>>> Pop Tarts.[/QUOTE] No doubt, but to just TRY them, I think it's worth it. I used to literally eat like 3 packages at a time of smores poptarts, put them in the toaster, and eat those while I played Vidyer Gamez. lol
Think i'll pick them up. Also Steve, I really like your tastebuds man... no homo, what's your favorite flavor of Ice cream you've ever had?

You have random people on the Internet permission to eat a poptart if you want to

[QUOTE=IrishPilot;982945873]Without question. You would be doing your fam a disservice if you had an ice cream spread without CBuns.[/QUOTE]
This. At the moment, I'd say my top three are probably:
1. Chubby Hubby
2. Cinnamon Buns
3. Oatmeal Cookie Chunk
OCC is a close runner-up though. It would probably be number two if they found a way to include some soft raisins in there in lieu of the chocolate (because hard raisins are absolutely awful). I love chocolate chip/chunk oatmeal cookies and all, but the oatmeal raisins were the childhood staple in my house, because my mother only goes for chocolate in milk chocolate form, while most cookie recipes call for semi-sweet or dark chocolate mix-ins.
I wish to hell that they would make more cookie-centric pints, honestly. For that matter, I'd love to find out who the supplier for those cookies is, so I could order some to try independently of the ice cream. All of their cookie mix-ins are just that good. Since they have an outside source for the brownies, I suspect that the cookies are not produced in-house either.
Sidenote: You know what could potentially be an excellent flavor? A "twisted" pint (like Half-Baked) with Cinnamon Buns and OCC swirled together...
Happy Thanksgiving guys. If you don't celebrate it, the sentiment is there even so.
