** Ice Cream Eating Now Official Thread -- Round 2 **

[mussina123]

Really old news and it was supposed to be in pints the same time last year but never happened so we'll have to wait and see if it actually makes it into pints or another flavor pushes it back like scotchy scotch scotch did.

I knew they said they were gonna be in pints last year but I didn't realize they advertised it as a limited batch before... I just got that flyer today so fingers crossed..

[The Solution]

Yo bob what's your top 10? or top 5?

brand preference?

Graeters Buckeye Blitz
Handel's Pumpkin
2nd Street Copper Kettle Caramel

^^ Notice how SSS says new, thats old school.

[ugasar]

I actually think that flyer could possibly be new.. Yeah SSS is a couple of months old, but maybe they are advertising it for the first 4 months of this year, then the cherry garcia fro-yo for the middle 4 months (perfect summer flavor, despite me not being a fan), & CBP for the latter 4 months (& hopefully eternity haha)

Yeah wasn't it like February last year lol?

Oh well, let him feel special for a minute!

They did the same thing with cannoli last year. Even though it was released in the last 3rd of 2012, it was also the limited edition for the first 3rd of 2013 and it said new on the 2013 flyer.

I knew they've been claiming it in pints for a while, just got a flyer and suspected since its from BJ themselves it may be actually be a reality this year..

[sauerkraut]

Seems like PB fudge is the only core flavor that's doing well, and according to reviews it seems the only one worth buying. It's flying off the shelves like crazy at stores where I live, haven't been able to get a pint of it yet...

Yeah, they said it was last year and had it in their 2013 flyer as well with no mention of sss. While I do believe it'll be out this year, it shows that they're willing to do another flavor last second if the money is right.

As I continued to dig down the pint it was surly one of my favorites going through it. The base is top notch, a great banana flavor that is dense and packs an amazing banana afteraste like a true ripe banana out of the grocery store. Throw in a marshmallow ribbon that is not overpowering but just enough to compliment the pint with overall flavoring. The Fudge Ribbons are dense, very thick and almost like graeters chocolate chips at some point due to the richness/thickness in size. As the pint gets lower and lower the thickness of the swirl picks up to the point you are eating chunks of fudge. Not that I mind that, but it just amplifies the more you get towards the bottom. The Peanut Butter cups were killer, They are not as frequent as you would hope (i think i got maybe 8 tops) but they are not halved they are full little peanut butter cups you would get at a grocery store. These were not hard as a rock, but on the softer side and had a great peanut butter filling like a peanut butter truffle would be. Overall hands down one of the best pints I have had in a long time and may even crack my top 10 overall. Everything in this pint just went together very well and complimented each other perfectly. Off to pick up S'mores and see how this goes!

Grade: A

I might need to take a road trip soon

Just checked and the nearest wegmans is in bridgewater (50 min away). might go right now

turkey hill sweet potato pecan pie: 8/10




wonderful idea but wasnt executed perfectly imo.
pecan swirl was amazing (wish there was more) and also wish the base was stronger.
was expecting this break my th top 3 since people were comparing it to th pumpkin pie but nowhere close.

Dang those all sound good.. It is definitely worth the pick up IMO, but like I said it was only my 2nd tub, very good though!

pretty sure all 3 are limited editions.
but i usually find them randomly since here the flavors are never really out in the months turkey hill says they should be.
usually we're always late, ha but ah well.

I haven't tried any of the core's, but they really don't look special to me. I'm really hoping they do a pb&j core, but really there's alot more they could do with the idea.

Wegmans also surprised me for how good they truly are.

[usawinston]

So I cracked upen my 4 month expired OCC last night....tasted 10/10 to me!

[adopemoose]

I usually like the gingerbread myself, i haven't even heard of most of these flavors.

Strange because the salted caramel core is the greatest of the bunch. My wife loves it and I get in trouble if I eat any of it then before the next shopping trip says not to buy it anymore....then she craves it and asks why I didn't buy it for her.

My favorite Ben and Jerry's are Cheesecake Brownie and the greatest of all time Pumpkin Cheesecake. It's only on shelves a few times a year but it's amazing and I don't even like pumpkin that much. Red Velvet Cake is pretty good too. They have others that I enjoy but those are the top in my opinion.

i had a coupon for 1$ off 2 pints
they were 2.39 each
so basically 1.89$/Pint

wow.... Pints are usually 4.49 here on sale for 2.99.

This is copy-pasta from my log, Sorry. But I figured people would still be interested here.
Cream is a popular up-n-coming chain of ice cream stores in the Bay Area. Well our work catered a bunch of these sandwiches:



This particular one is Salted Caramel Ice Cream between two White Chocolate Macamia Cookies. The nutrition facts aren't available. But it weights 6.5oz (184g), so this is my wild guess:

.

Overall the cookies were amazing, chewy and thick and the ice cream was just eh. You could have told me it was chocolate ice cream and I would have believed you. I wouldn't say it felt quite premium either. Would definitely eat again! Rating: B+

I went to that Cream ("cookies rule everything around me" is what i think it stands for) in Davis, CA. Place is pretty legit ended up with a snickerdoodle on top and a oatmeal raisin cookie on the bottom with their cinnamon ice cream, so much hnnnng!

On Second Scoop: This one was a little easier to scoop when going in with realistic expectations about the bold marshmallow base. It's still pretty potent, but it made for a neat afternoon kick in the tastebuds. These pints are technically sitting right next to Gifford's excellent Campfire S'mores flavor, so I prefer that, but I'm glad I tried this one because they put a good amount of effort in to their premium pints.
