The battle of the cherries was an epic duel, however, in the end cherry proved too much for black cherry and was victorious!

[QUOTE=usawinston;1031932093]I had a similar experience with a pint of Heath Crunch. I wrote them a letter and they gave me a coupon. It seems B&J has this problem more than most.[/QUOTE]
I sent ON a postcard once about how much I loved their french vanilla protein and they sent me a free tub and a shaker cup thing. Don't even want a coupon, just my damn dough pieces!

^^ why you posting arctic zero

[QUOTE=Robboe;1032199923]
Their greek froyo line must really sell. The OCC must clearly not.[/QUOTE]
Unfortunately, this. The less vocal crowd, whom also happen to be the majority that buys a pint once every month, buy the flavors that most of us here won't bat an eye for - i.e. cherry garcia, cookie dough pistachio pistachio etc etc etc.

I might have to go pick up a pint of OCC tonight..

I just recently tried the black cherry and it was awesome. Need to keep an eye out forthe LE cherry chip.

This is very good, but the peppermint swirl is not in a sufficient quantity for my liking.

Pralines and Cream By Haagen Dazs
Base: The base is the perfect combination of sweet and cream. It is the densest of all bases and is likewise the most indulgent base possible. Rivalled by only a few.
Swirl: The caramel swirl is everywhere and lashes at your tongue with such ferocity and intensity, that your body has no choice but seek more out and take another bite. If this pint was endless, I would have eaten myself to death.
Mix-ins: The pralines are little sweet-salty morsels of the perfect mix-in that are littered absolutely everywhere. They compliment the base unlike any other mix-in possibly could.
Overall: This pint, fellow icemen, along with Ben and Jerry’s Oatmeal Cookie Chunk and Cinnamon Buns, ranks at a strong 10/10, and is the perfect ice cream. Thanks to all who suggested it.
For the record, I ate this over a 45 minute period with a mini spoon. Absolutely maximizes enjoyment.

Y U DO THIS B+J
OCC is basically my favorite flavor
-
Tried Talenti German Chocolate Cake the night before. I would have to say it's a solid B IMO. It was certainly delicious, but I'm not too big a coconut fan and although it worked very well with the chocolate and pecans it is likely better suited to those with a love of coconut. I would have expected a bit darker of a chocolate base also.
All in all, probably an A for those who love coconut. I stick to my solid B for average joes.

I've actually found myself doing this sometimes over the past few weeks, using a teaspoon and grazing on a pint of ice cream while I watch a movie. Definitely more enjoyable!

As lame as it sounds, I found that if I minimize distractions (do next to nothing), the pint is even more enjoyable. Just eat and take in the complexity.
-
Of all the flavors to discontinue, why OCC? I bought 3 pints today and the girl at the register enthusiastically remarked that it was her favorite flavor. It's obviously one of the best-loved.

It's not, or they wouldn't be pulling it. I don't understand why the world isn't on the same page as the rest of us, but I can assure everyone here that the last pints that get cleared out during sales here in MA are OCC and cinnamon buns.
It's no secret that there's a fairly ubiquitous love of peanut butter among bodybuilders, and I'm thinking that may extend to cinnamon as well. The mainstream just doesn't share our love. Whenever I'm in front of the freezer aisle watching people make their selections, they usually gravitate towards the vanilla (i.e. plain) flavors. Ben & Jerry's is a business, and simply responds to consumer demand.
-
Frantically using the flavor locator to see if OCC is near any of my relatives so they can stock up for me. Unfortunately my dorm room mini fridge/freezer likes to make my ice cream into a nice soup
-
Hnnng. How have I only just found this thread. I start my bulk next week so I'm going to be trying some of these.
Any recommendations for UK available ice creams?
-
[QUOTE=Robboe;1032199923]
B&J have a UK-only flavor called Baked alaska that is vanilla, marshmallow swirl and white chocolate polar bear pieces. So simple but seriously so effective. I love the stuff, no idea why it is not available here.

That pic made me hard.
Why have I no UK brahs discussed this?

i'm going on a pilgrimage this week and buying out every single pint of OCC i can find.

Sad day OCC. The only place I could buy it was at my local scoop shop, however they didnt have it last time I was there (several months ago).
Hm I have to try that Pralines and Cream. I recently discovered a walgreens rather close to my house which I didnt know was there.
The next pint I have however will probably be Talenti SSC.
I recently had HD White Chocolate Raspberry Truffel, which is probably the 3rd or 4th time I've had it. This time it was less delicous than usual, however its still good. If you arent a fan of the very hard chocolate mixins, then this pint is for you. The chocolate pieces are soft truffel pieces, and are rather delicous. Usually its probably a solid 8.5/10, last time was like a 6/10.

holey moley i just scooped a ben and jerry's greek strawberry shortcake for the first time tonight....JEEEBUS must buy more! I ate like almost half the pint that stuff is amazing.

Lol my sister went to the supermarket with me and we perused the ice cream section; she got Phish Food for like the 3rd time in a row SMH.
I told her, "You know there are many other great flavors too?; trust me, I speak to ice cream experts on a regular basis."
Why do your average ice cream noobs [i]always[/i] choose Phish Food as their favorite B&J's?
