badly lol

[nyy123]

badly lol

The bold above the first image pretty much goes over all columns.

[trance__dreamer]

i think the chart you've made is very neat!

[AlwaysTryin]

The bold above the first image pretty much goes over all columns.

Now it does but the original column headings you had on when I posted were completely over the pint name

So for reviews >5 What a Cluster is the best

[AlwaysTryin]

How can the New York Fudge Chunk have a range of 1-10 lol, the 1 is an obvious outlier lol

[DavidVincent]

in. i will pm my ratings soon.

[psychodiver9]

badly lol

That chart is very unaesthitcally pleasing. I love Ben and jerrys just as much as I love peanut butter but I'm getting sick of the repeated threads.

[PBateman2]

Good effort.

Could just combine your ratings/table with the previous thread. Everything then in one place

Just a thought.

Need to send you my reviews

True, and updates will likely be in responses. However, thought it would be nice for a little refresh thread with a solid first post. Looking forward to reviews from you!

[OrcaLifter]

wow. op put a lot of time into this thread.

[Buffalonian]

lol @ the only pint with a rating of 10 is discontinued. feelsbadman, never tried it.

[ErickStevens]

So I guess I should try Dublin Mudslide.

[DavidVincent]

just a heads up, I don't think Blueberry Cheesecake nor berry voluntary are exclusive to walmart and target because when I was in the states I saw them at Meijer. I remember specifically because they were the only 2 B&J's that I didn't grab because they didn't appeal to me... but now I regret it, they seem delicious. (I remember saying no to blueberry cheesecake because I had already taken strawberry, brownie and pumpkin cheesecake...and I didn't take berry voluntary because I thought it was a sorbet lol).

[Buffalonian]

I've only had two flavors before, peanut brittle and phish food, and am going to attempt to try the majority of the flavors. My next two I was going to buy was 'Everything but the...' and Chubby Hubby.. but that list is making me reconsider.

[The Solution]

Narrowed it down to these for my upcoming pint this weekend:

Americone Dream - Got a good bunuch of reviews...

Dublin Mudslide - Is the Liquor cream in the Dublin Mudslide really that unique? Seems weird and I am not a big fan of liquor or drinking

Milk and Cookies - Again good comments on Mix-in's which I enjoy most in ice cream Big fan of chocolate and chocolate chips

Oatmeal Cookie Chunk - People rave over it... Had a Oatmeal ice cream in a local shop in Pittsburgh was pretty good.

Brownie Chew Gooder -- Never seen before? I cant seem to find it on their site either..?


Last one I had was Clusterfluff which was AWESOME.. i enjoy PB, Caramel, Marshmallows in general so that is why i narrowed it to these. Not a major fruit kind of guy, but my previous ones are below. I am a big cookie dough guy but had the pint before. Nothing crazy good.

I have had Cinnamon Buns, Chubby Hubby Strawberry Cheesecake, Cookie Dough, and Phish food in the past so looking for something different.

Thoughts?

[Ryan314]

In.

[Ashlei]

wow. op put a lot of time into this thread.

Only because there are pages and pages of threads of the same thing...

Thanks nyy...we can now just direct people here when they go "what do you think of such-and-such flavor?"

[NCepeeist]

Repd. Also will submit my ratings.

Cool story: 2/5 BnJ pints. And pumpkin cheesecake was in stock! Bought as much as i could.

[lifelongathlete]

Tried Brownie Batter the other night....wow! So, much, chocolate! Definitely a flavor to revisit.

[nyy123]

i think the chart you've made is very neat!

Thank you!

wow. op put a lot of time into this thread.

Yup! lol

All solid choices. I love Americone Dream, Dublin gets a lot of love from coffee lovers (I havent had it), Milk and Cookies is a great Cookies and cream (not as great as the amazing HD C&C though imo...both great though). A lot of positive feedback (including from myself for oatmeal cookie chunk). Brownie chew gooder is sadly only available at Target...and my target doesn't seem to want to carry it -.-. The Old pint of it that I got (expiration date this december o.0) was delicious. It was very similar to Americone, but more caramel and brownies vs waffle cone pieces. I did not have as many brownies as I would ideally, but there was a sufficient amount.

Only because there are pages and pages of threads of the same thing...

Thanks for the kind words .

Woo! Only saw Pumpkin cheesecake in a store once so far.

[nyy123]

I purchased Brownie Chew Gooder a few days back. It was the only one at my Target (and had an expiration date of December 2011 o.0). However, it was still fantastic!

Oatmeal cookie chunk is very good, I'd pick it over any other flavor.

[Flyin Ryan]

No American Apple Pie, Key Lime Pie, or Snickerdoodle Cookie??

son i am disappoint.

=P nice chart though. cool idea.

[igglesphan]

lol @ the only pint with a rating of 10 is discontinued. feelsbadman, never tried it.

Only one ranking was submitted though.

So I guess I should try Dublin Mudslide.

YES!!!

I would go with Oatmeal Cookie Chunk:



Great sweet cream cinnamon base and plenty of grainy cookie pieces throughout!

Dublin Mudslide is really good as well... it has the same chocolate choc chip cookies found in Milk and Cookies. The Irish Cream liqueur base does not yeild a stong alcohol taste at all... not nearly as strong as Schweddy Balls.

Brownie Chew Gooder (Target Exclusive) is another good choice... a notch below OCC and Dublin Mudslide imo. Good vanilla caramel base and the brownies taste like they've been injected with caramel.

[Sawa3]

We just bought the Dublin mudslide, brownie cheesecake, and the triple caramel one

[The Solution]

Got a chance to sample a bunch of flavors tonight:

Fair Goodness Cake

8/10 ... Good, mix-ins help but the base is kind of bland. The extra kick of the german chocolate does stick out.

Everything but the...

8.5/10 .....So many Mix-Ins this is insane, Its literally like eating chunks of candy and 10% ice cream. If you are a diehard mix in fan this is it.

Americone Dream

7.5/10 ... Not a huge Cone person and the waffle cone pieces were different, but it just did not do it for me. Something I did not like but got to try it to say the least.

Bonaroo Buzz

6.5/10 .. Just not a fan of the flavor of the ice cream, left a weird aftertaste that really was not pleasant. Not my kind of kick.

Dublin Mudslide

9.5/10 ... I did not have high expectation for this, but the liquor base of ice cream is really unique that sets it apart. The mix-ins of chocolate and fudge are killer. This is a MUST try.

Red Velvet Cake

8/10 ... Different, but there is not enough flavor of a true red velvet dessert. If you pay over 4$ a pint its not worth it, but it does give a slight cream cheese texture/taste that is pretty nice.

Milk and Cookies

8/10 .. Had higher expectations. The mix-ins are great. The chocolate chocolate chip and cookie swirls/pieces are a good touch but I had higher hopes with a better overall base flavoring of cookies and cream/vanilla.
