I tried three stores and my wife tried two. No joy in my house, for we both struck out. ---

Told my wife about it over the weekend - she couldn’t find it at the regular grocery store so went to the Ben & Jerry’s store in the same mall. At first the guy manning the store said that they were out since it was a “Thanksgiving only” flavor, but he decided to see if they had any pints left sitting in the back. And whaddya know, they did. And whaddya know, the ice cream is a knockout. Loved it. Now, only to convince her to go back and get some more, since I ate the entire pint in about 24 hours. ---

I walked up to the local B&J today in 20 degree temps and brought back a pint. It was sooooooooooo worth it. I loves me some pumpkin and I loves me some cheesecake and I loves me some B&J. Triple play excellence. I will go back and buy a bunch tomorrow. ---

Hmmm. I have been searching in vain for B&J “Gingerbread Man.” I think it must have gone to the flavor graveyard. Sounds like pumpkin cheesecake may be a substitute! ETA: Maybe the flavor was ginger snap. I see it’s in the graveyard. ---

I was in Wal-mart and thought of this thread (thanks **jsgoddess**!), so I checked and sure enough I found some B&J Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream. I bought the last two pints they had. It is very good–I like the graham cracker in it. In that way it reminds me of another favorite–Blue Bell’s Key Lime Pie ice cream.
