WOW! I still can't wait to get my hands on this when I get home in less 3 weeks.. I want to try the seasonal Gingerbread House as well! Have you sampled it yet?

It is legit

Have you tried any of the other Target exclusives USA? I've had the Berry Voluntary (which really caught me off guard by the way, suprisingly good IMO) and that's it.. I'm sure I would love this and PB World.. Not so sure on Voluntiramisu though!

Pb world is legit. Top 5. Brownie chew gooder is solid. Not great but worth trying. Voluntiramisu sucks. Bottom 5

Very nice.. Definitely a top flavor, #3 on my all-time rankings for B&J!!

See above

Good taste. I'm not entirely sure they're the same flavor though, although they do sound similar. The descriptions are almost identical, but one specifically mentions "gingerbread cookies" while the other says "ginger snaps." That may just be a marketing thing, or it may actually be a legitimate distinction.

I'm betting they are the exact same thing, but who knows.

Had peanut brittle last night, and then cinnamon buns. Really great flavours. Anyone have any suggestion on a vanilla/caremel based pint??

[Dre4]

wow that cow power looks awesome! i would so buy that. and damn nut allergies, i swear to many ice creams have some sort of nuts in them!

I hear you there. That coupled with my distaste for coffee and licqour/alcohol infused flavors really limits my options lol.

Sorry, but still confused?

No joke here.. Vanilla Caramel Fudge is actually a B&J flavor that gets absolutely no love on here.. Top 10 flavor for me, crazy good!!

Triple Caramel Chunk is pretty solid, in my opinion.

HAHA!!! My bad man.. I feel like a total dumb*ss now! Thanks for the quick responses man..

I guess I'm going to have to purchase both Gingerbread House and Christmas Cookies which means a whole gallon of ice cream that I'm going to have to work through over the holidays somehow!

And for the target exclusives, this is exactly what I expected based of just reading the flavor descriptions.. Although I know PB World gets plenty of love around here!

[psychodiver9]

I just tried Christmas cookie last night. Both are worth the purchase

Pumpkin Spice Pecan is still my favorite Blue Bell seasonal flavor. dealwithit.gif

Haven't tried it. May grab if still avaiable. Just kinda past the pumpkin into peppermint Christmassy flavors

Picked up Volun-Tiramisu last weekend, i would give it a 7.5/10, the base tastes just like tiramisu cake but my pint had ice crystals(Booo) and there were barely any mix-ins

[Tdiguy]

I also tried this, I thought it was VERY good, really rich. I think you may have got a bad pint or something, mine did not have any ice crystals. The little swirl/mix-in things were good IMO, just not big/plentiful enough. I like having larger volumes of ice cream, so I'd rather get PC's Ice Cream Shop line since some of them have almost half the calories. (160 or 170kcal/serving compared to 300kcal/serving)

I never said ice crystals i said SALT chunks

[Tdiguy]

Felt the exact same way. Definitely needed some sort of Rolo-ish mix-in and it would have gone from don't bother to amazing.

Tried any others in the line up?

I havent no, im not sure i want to now lol

[Tdiguy]

I bought this a little while ago, just because it was limited and i didnt see everyone say it was crap lol....long story short this stuff is gross, i threw it out not even 1/4 way into it... YUK

[Falkirk39]

I never said ice crystals i said SALT chunks

Indeed you did, read your post too quickly, my bad

Ben & Jerry's Boston Cream Pie



Much better than I thought it would be! 8.5/10

[Tdiguy]

^jelly i want boston cream pie

Indeed you did, read your post too quickly, my bad

No problem...if they removed these and put in more caramel it would be a huge hit.

[chameleonism]

Not a fan of the Boston Cream Pie! Much better flavors out there imo!

[Tdiguy]

despite the bad reviews i liked this....maybe because i was grossed out after trying klp lol



MONEY

[Credz]

^ thought it was good too!

[Vendetta52]

I microwave it. I can't wait.

lol sometimes I worry the microwave doesnt do it right. i've found the best thing to do is pull it out, cookie and eat a light dinner, clean up said dinner, and then you're pint is ready to go. basically do something for 10-15 mins that takes my mind off the pint of icecream thats waitin for me

You guys like soft/warm ice cream? Isn't the whole point of it is that it's cold and hard? I love mine when the ice cream is frozen solid and it requires chewing, so good hah.

[Woolyyyy]

some of you haven't tried pb world? best ice cream ever.

[Tdiguy]

^ thought it was good too!

Repped lol glad im not the only one

At the end of the last thread everyone agreed to vote for a different flavor and not M2M but

Yes we did...and then nobody did anything about it, they let it die, it was a passing thought. I believe the flavor was gingersnap. I and others felt strongly about M2M so I took the initiative to get it going. If other people want to campaign, that's cool. I'm trying to get this flavor, and I have no problem voting for another flavor if someone actually takes initiative and puts work in. Otherwise it's just a click of a button, once, and then it dies, again. AND it's not mutually exclusive. More than one flavor can be voted for in general, but the others aren't my focus.

Yeah the other one I considered was Ginger 'Snap! which I believe was the same as Gingerbread. I LOVE a good gingerbread cookie.

Ditto.

Good taste. I'm not entirely sure they're the same flavor though, although they do sound similar. The descriptions are almost identical, but one specifically mentions "gingerbread cookies" while the other says "ginger snaps." That may just be a marketing thing, or it may actually be a legitimate distinction.

I actually think there's a semi-decent chance of getting them to revive a seasonal flavor, since those have inherently limited runs anyway and don't need to have the sustained sales that another flavor would.

Did we? We had a bunch of suggestions, but I don't know that there was a large group agreeing on another flavor. Although Snickerdoodle was talked about a fair bit...

Still, I could be wrong. Do you recall what flavor it was?

See above.

[Tumors]

Been advocating HD's Salted Caramel Truffle lately so i thought i'd post a picture of my pint the other night.

SCT is legit as hell....a perfect fit for anyone who love caramel but has scooped SSC multiple times (me lol)

Haha, don't even open up this can of worms my friend. We had many a' debate in the old thread. We have strong opinions on both sides.

Also, I'm intrigued by how much people enjoyed SCT. I thought it was decent (6.5/10), but not spectacular. From what I've heared from people who tried their fleur de sel when it was available, this new flavor pales in comparison. Then again, I didn't find any of this year's offerings to be too noteworthy. Here's hoping 2013 fares a bit better.

I have been reluctant to try just because of my love for SSC... Which I had yet again last night
