When I first tried it I probably would have given it a 9.5/10. I was amazed that caramel was the first ingredient. The base was amazing: smooth, rich and creamy. The mix-ins were mainly concentrated to the bottom and sparse(I didn't know it even had mix-ins until halfway through). The further I got into the pint the more it just became a pretty good, not amazing, ice cream. It may be pushing 8.5/10 after that first pint. I like Chad's rating system, 7.5 or higher is a thumbs up, definately worth a revisit/would recommend.

No harm, no foul bro. I was honestly expecting to catch slack for the SSC and PB Cup ratings. If you like the texture of SSC then branch out on your gelato experience-it's smoother than regular ice cream. Everyone has their own taste. Chad put some stuff on his list way higher/lower than I would have. I have no where near the experience he has, so maybe he knows something I don't. To each his own.
I totally agree with the SSC vs PB Cup. I thought the base was good but scooping the chit was a nightmare because the mix-ins were so huge/plentiful. This is probably the same reason why so many people rate it so highly.
I think my problem with PB Cup was I'm not a fan of frozen peanut butter cups. It's a texture thing for me. And to my knowledge nobody makes a better peanut butter cup than Hershey. Give me a pint of BnJ Vanilla and melt some Reese Cup's and then mix those in and I would probably rate 12/10
I've had it and agree minus the SSC part-I don't think anyone can get to that level without having caramel as the main ingredient. IMO HD definately did a better job than BnJ on this one. I've also had HD chocolate peanut butter-7/10 and the dulce de leche-7.5/10. HD is starting to grow on me, the selection is just a lot more limited around here.If you rep me please post it in the thread. I have limited computer access.

Dam...and I thought I was going to alone on this lol. The CCC wasn't bad, wasn't great either. No where near SSC and not something I would recommend to buy/rescoop. I purchased both of those at Meijer. Giant Eagle carries Talenti, as well. However, the Talenti selection is very limited at both, probably 6 or so flavors. The overall ice cream selection is better than Wal-mart and I make stops at both, solely to check the ice cream section. I really want to try Peppermint Bark but I haven't seen it any where
I checked your pro to see where you're from. Looks like local scoop shops with gelato is kind of scarce up there. This may help bro:

OCC is not even worth retail (though I almost never buy any BnJ at retail. I see 2 pints/$5 atleast once a month and buy enough to last me till the next sale)...anyway its solid, maybe just cracks my top 10, but seriously is not something to go overboard to acquire. Especially if you have tried (loved) cinnamon buns.

Blue Bell Banana Pudding
As per Chad's recommendation earlier, I tried this out. Gotta admit, Blue Bell is starting to grow on me. Butter crunch disappointed me while peach cobbler redeemed the brand. Banana pudding instilled more confidence in them. Not overly tart ala the BnJ banana pb greek and has some pie crust pieces along with a duo of banana and vanilla bases. I'd say this was a hair behind Talenti's banana fudge in terms of a banana flavor. 7.5/10Oakland Raiders--Toronto Raptors--Toronto Blue Jays--San Jose Sharks

God I love these TCBY...
Got my hands on the English Toffee Crunch. 8/10
I'm going to call bullshxt on it being 600 calories. It's amazing, tastes as good as 900+. The base was the same as the cookie dough (great and not sour like yoghurt), but the toffee swirls were incredible and changed the experience quite a bit. Swirls were all over the place. Absolutely trumped the swirl content of any B&J pint. As with Ice cream, I think I might have just gotten lucky...but perhaps not. As for the "crunch". The crunch bits were extremely small and had zero crunch to them, as they were so small that they didn't require chewing and simply were swallowed. I tried biting one, but immediately stopped as it didn't really add any effect or flavor, just extra work and pointless chewing of icecream...a bit absurd. If the crunch bits were larger the review would be an 8.5.
I recommend anyone that is looking for a pint of low calorie ice cream to grab this stuff. I feel less sluggish eating lactose over sucrose and gobs of saturated fat, and don't feel the least bit guilty, as the contents are slightly more micro and significantly more macro friendly, yet equally satisfying.
