I'm just dropping by to say that Blue Bell Gingerbread House is legit. And dare I say that I prefer it over Cinnamon Buns - and keep in mind that I'm a total premium ice cream whore, lol. Sorry, no money shots. I still can't figure out how to upload images from my iphone. Also, this stuff has almost as much ginger bread mixed in as Cookies & Milk has cookies in it.

I maintain that the choice to go with potato chips was not the issue. I think it was more the execution of the chips that was lacking. I have had several non-BnJ's ice cream offerings that have chocolate covered pretzels as a mix-in, and all of them have been disappoint. What BnJ's did right with Chubby Hubby (and goofed on with LNS) was the size and quality of the mix-ins. Why weren't we getting big chunks of chocolate covered kettle chips or something? What's with these piddly little "clusters"? Honestly, I think the tiny/sparse distribution (my pint didn't have many at all) was pretty uncharacteristic of the company. I think a more generous helping of the caramel swirl might have helped as well.
On another note, although I think the chocolate chips in OCC work just fine, I do agree that some good raisin mix-ins would have been superior. Maybe it was an issue of maintaining their quality/texture after freezing? No one likes rock hard raisins. Then again, isn't Rum Raisin one of the flavors in the graveyard? I might be wrong on that. It could also be that raisins seem to be a very acquired taste amongst the general population, so they went with the more commercially marketable flavor. Maybe.Last edited by Crucifist; 10-31-2012 at 12:47 PM.

For those of you looking for the TCBY pints, my Walmart just got them all and has them all on sale. They have always had a few of the quarts, but never the pints (I had to get those at Hy Vee). Anyway...keep an eye out at your local one. They are fantastic and pretty much at the 600cal mark or lower for the whole thing.

Once i get around to Safeway in the near future im going to take a picture of all the flavors they have. I dont think there have ever been flavors i cant find, guess im lucky.
On another Note, Anyone have any flavor suggestions for the tcby pints? Saw them at my local Walmart the other day but just glanced over them as there were a few other brands i was drawn towards.
Scooped Coffee Caramel Buzz tonight, Didnt even notice the whiskey Caramel Swirl which i had been anticipating as possibly an overpowering alchohol flavor. Toffee Pieces were large and Numerous. Overall not my favorite but it was worth adding to my list.
Picked up Haagen-Dazs Peppermint Bark last weekend and it was Amazing. I know a few people have talked about it on here, and admittedly thats why i tried it, glad i did. Will definitely be re-scooping before the season is up.
Wish i could post pics, soon enough.

IWP isn't an exclusive flavor, so you should be able to locate it with this:
