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

[jubjubrsx]

I was perusing yelp this morning and I happened to come across that Three Twins actually had a scoop shop that was only about 20 miles from me (napa california) lots of flavors that arent listed on their main website (earl gray tea sounded good tbh) anywho saw these pictures I thought I'd share because sure made me laugh. Might have to take a drive to napa sometime to check it out. almost want to go try the twinasuarus just to taste every flavor lol

Hit up publix and couldn't find White Christmas For some reason they started stocking BnJ pumpkin cheesecake so I picked that up along w/ Talenti Coffee Chip, HD Java Chip, and HD capuchinno gelato.

Bahaha that's just great. I wonder if anyone has actually ordered either of the latter two sundaes yet.

That's strange! They generally always have the White Christmas and will through January at least, most of the time February.. I did notice that my Publix started carrying Pumpkin Cheesecake as well.. Have never seen it there before until a few weeks ago!

Yeah, they had pumpkin pie, apple pie, peppermint, lemon cookie, and eggnog but no WC.

Funny! Mine had all of those minus Lemon Cookie; plus the WC & also NY Cherry Cheesecake

Rescooped Talenti PB Cup, first time scooping since the recall. Plenty of cups, not as much pb swirl, most of which was near the bottom. Still a high B.

[seamus33]

scotchy scotch scotch. A-. this exceeded expectations. the swirl is hard, more like the pb in wac, not like a sauce (which i expected). put it this way: if it had the blondes in rocking' blondes, it would be a top 3 overall flavor.

Haven't seen it yet. Where did you find it?

albertson's. it's been my go-to for limited batch stuff.
if you like werthers, the taste is very similar.

edit: it's what rockin' blondies should've been.

I found it at a local stop and shop in Winchester, MA. I would definitely agree, if you love butterscotch this doesn't dissapoint one bit. Made a ice cream sandwich with snickerdoodle cookies. HNNNNNNNGGGGG/10.

[chichinnn]

Havent seen anyone post this. Far better than dreyers slow churned "pumpkin patch," the only other pumpkin ice cream i have tried this season (unfortunately). The base is far more superior, & actually includes pie crust mix ins. Top with whipped cream and you're doin it right

[jaredmus]

saw a bunch of good flavors from the target brand, including that one would like to try that an applie pie

I love butterscotch, definitely going to try this; sounds good but maybe lacking a bit mix-in wise. I'll reserve judgement for now though, don't want to damn it without giving it a fair shot.

[usawinston]

Graeter's Cookies and Cream and Cookie dough w. PB syrup. The syrup was refrigerated so its kind of thick, but still tasted great!

hey guys, for anyone thats seen I've made a few posts how I think ice cream is overhyped and I haven't had any in years...but I've been convinced to give it another try.

With my very limited selection in Canada, I'm going to go for BnJ and probably down a pint tonight

I've searched through this thread already, and read several reviews, but just want your thoughts

Half Baked, CCCD, Caramel Hat Trick, Cherry Garcia, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, NY Super Fudge Chunk, Phish Food (seen at some stores only), Scotchy Scotch Scotch (seen at 1 store, not sure if still there though).

^ thats about all I've seen...Half Baked seems like the safe bet, or possibly Phish Food if I can find it.

thoughts on what would make the best 'first impression'?

Everyone has a different flavor preference. Do you want a fruit based ice cream? Brownies? Cookie dough? Butterscotch? What type of candy bar do you prefer?

Good point, should have included that. If you've seen any of the stuff I post in Sludge/MEN, theres a lot of dark chocolate and peanut butter used. Don't eat much candy, but big fan of Reese.

Big fan of s'mores stuff as well. Half baked seemed like the safe bet/best reviewed, but the marshmallow in phish food is right up my alley (depends if I can find it though).

It's decent. Nowhere near as good as Publix's version IMO. It's not really fair to compare to the Edy's flavor since there are actual mix-ins.

Of those you listed, Half Baked and Phish Food are up your alley. Everything But The sounds like your bag as well.

The current lineup:



McConnell's pumpkin pie is a killer base, but sadly no mixins. WAC is much better this time around. Looking forward to trying chubby hubby and peppermint bark (both found at wal-mart).

Awesome, I am in south Orange county, CA, with an Albertson's 2 blocks away. That's actually where I finally found pumpkin cheesecake too so my hopes are high now. Plus, I love Werther's, so this is sounding better by the minute.

Haven't seen 'everything but the'...

And thanks. Ill post my thoughts later after I eat whichever one I end up getting.

REVIEW: Jeni's Sweet Potato with Torched Marshmallows.

Even though this didn't get rave reviews, I loved it. Then again, I love sweet potatoes in general.

Not fair that we literally only get 5 or 6 BnJ flavors in Canada, and none of them sound nearly as good as half the flavors in US.

Was really feeling Phish Food but couldn't find it, so went with Half Baked. I'll post pics later

Seems like we only have flavors that come from the Top 10 best selling BNJ's.

solid choice. it's the best out of the ones you listed imo. hope you like it!

Thats what I figured...and I havent tried any yet, but based on the description, those would be far from my top 10 of their flavors lol

Thanks. I also came across Coffee Toffee one and the If I Had 1,000,000 flavors....the If I Had was out of stock though and I do love coffee, but thought Half Baked would be the better first choice.
