rivercity_rules · 14-05-2011, 14:37

Oatmeal Cookie Chunk got my vote, sounds brilliant.

Yet another thing where they try to get you to join face book ! Bad enough not being able to comment on stories here on DS due to their insistance we all belong to face book

fhs man 2 · 14-05-2011, 20:30

BJs are aimed at the youth market

youth = facebook

That sounded wrong by BJs I mean Ben and Jerry's

fhs man 2 · 15-05-2011, 01:19

Island Paradise does not sound nice

percysludge · 15-05-2011, 07:17

I don't like weird icecream's i know i didn't have to say but just wondering if i am the only person who makes do with vanilla or that 3 flavoured one in slices.

Free as a bird · 15-05-2011, 09:02

They did actually bring out One Sweet Whirled, Dublin Mudslide, and Oatmeal Cookie Chunk here a few years ago, as have tasted all of them, just wish they would also bring back the one which had dime bars in it, and the cheesecake brownie one.

The Chubby Hubby sounds delish, why do we end up with the rubbish flavours?

Tiggergirl · 15-05-2011, 10:32

I've gone for Minter Wonderland. Randomly found Costco selling tubs of it a few years back and got it then and adored it Went back got a few more tubs but then it disappeared and was so diappointed as along with Phish Food it was my favourite so hoping that one makes a comeback.

Sorry to all the Oatmeal Chunk fans that one just doesn't sound as appealing to me. I think its the flavour of the ice cream that puts me off it.

I agree Free as a Bird I want some of the other flavours too. I wonder if they think the UK won't be as into some of the more "extreme" sounding ones. I was looking at the Flavour Graveyard and would have loved to have tried Bohemian Raspberry and would have loved to have tried some of the coffee flavoured ones.

We used to have Chubby Hubby here too, I've definitely had it several times in the UK. They need to be bringing that back!

Would be helpful if some of those titles were a little more descriptive of their flavours, or even gave a hint. You could have googled them a bit more for us, OP.

I still have half a tub of Cheesecake Brownie in my freezer, Tesco were selling it until at least december time here.

It's slightly odd taste at first with the cream cheese, but two spoonfuls in and it's brilliant.

That one is still here. Its there best seller and there is also phish food frozen yogurt they sell it at supermarkets and BJ counter at cinemas

fhs man 2 · 15-05-2011, 19:56

Why do they get rid of flavours every year we lost 4 last year

OK and there doing this all over europe and guess what Ireland want the most Dublin Mudslide.

EDIT - This took ages

From Facebook

Double Trouble - Does double trouble mean double delight ? With dark and white choc together, we have ourselves a mix that few can resist. A tub of many talents, this flavour boasts an irresistible swirl of two ice creams blended. What's more, there's also a whole herd of chewy chocolatey cows, white and brown, hiding inside. Udderly amazing. Pick double trouble for fun in double !

Oatmeal Cookie Chunk - If its that mama's cooking your after - Welcome home. This favourite to spice things up a little with irresistible cinnamon ice cream and cookie chunks. And to keep you own your toes, a sweet little suprise: udderly delicious chocolate. Mother wouldn't like it but you will

The Vermonster - We just can’t decide which unfairly deserted flavour we love the most, but a strong contender has to be The Vermonster. This ice cream is pining to get its maple syrup, caramel swirls and pecan-filled chunks out of the tropics and into our freezers. The irresistibly smooth ice cream will melt hearts and leave you wanting more

Dublin Mudslide - Ah how we miss Dublin Mudslide, inspired by our neighbours in the Emerald Isle. Touching on its heritage, the indulgent Irish cream liqueur ice flavour still holds a warm place in our hearts, despite being scooped from our flavour fridge back in 2007. Picking up its fair share of the votes, Dublin Mudslide is clamouring for a place back in your freezer - vote here to help get it back on the shelves

The Sweet Whirled - Its a mad whirled - here, coffee and caramel go together like Romeo and Juliet. And is there anything that can't be improved by the addition of marshmallows ? An extra sweet fact for you: this flavour was originally created to support environmental groups ! So grab a spoon and give it a whirl.

Minter Wonderland - Pssst, it’s me, Minter Wonderland. I’m managing to keep cool here in the tropical sun, due to my sensationally smooth taste and being made with real peppermint, I am cooler than ice! Full of generous chunks of luscious chocolate too… it’s time for me to vacate the island and get back to the your frosty UK fridges. I’m currently the favourite in Finland and would love some UK support too please Flavour Fans! The reason why finland like it is because its all snowy where they live everyday is xmas.

Island Paradise - This lovely weather has got us thinking about warmer climes – and our old exotic friend Island Paradise. With tropical pineapple ice cream passionfruit swirl and hints of coconut, you'd think this flavour would be most at home on a desert island! Hoping to bring a few more rays of summer sunshine over to the UK, Island Paradise is vying for your vote to be rescued from the sandy shores of the Ben & Jerry's desert and brought to freezers across the UK

Coconut, Almond, Fudge Chip - Hello flavour fans, Coconut Almond Fudge Chunk here, how you all doing? I’m chirping in all the way from the US, hope you can all hear me. There may be a few flavours knocking about but you should vote for me; I’m in a world of my own with luscious coconut ice cream topped with chocolately chunks and crunchy roasted almonds. And I’ve got the longest name of all the hopefuls, that must stand for something? Please help put me back in your fridge

So who will you choose to be the new 2012 flavour and hopefully not in the graveyard by 2013

You can vote once a day and the winner will be fairtrade

Aww bless, thank you so much for taking the time to do that.

Reading that, for me there's no contest - has to be Oatmeal Cookie Chunk.

But WTF? You can only vote via Facebook? Some of us don't give a flying flip about Facebook but would like a say in this vote. Pfffft...
