[Just thought I’d pass this along.](http://www.benjerry.com/our_products/flavor_graveyard/raise_flavor.cfm)

Lots of great flavors I’d forgotten all about. My all-time favorite is in there, too – Peanut Butter & Jelly.

By the rules of this message board, I can’t legally ask anybody to vote for it\*, but if you stop in and don’t see anything else you want to vote for, then perhaps you’ll consider it. PB&J isn’t a bad way to go. Peanut Butter ice cream with a grape jelly swirl throughout. Mmmm.

Of course, the Cool Brittania is pretty good, too.

You can vote every day until the end of the month, too.

You think you’ve got it bad? My nominee isn’t even in the top 10: Nutty Wafflecone. It’s Nutty! It’s Waffle-Coney! It has Choco bits in it! What’s not to love?

Thanks a lot guys. Now I’m jonesin’ for a flavor that ain’t got a chance of coming back.

My vote’s in for Rainforest Crunch!  
I liked Cool Britannia, but Rainforest Crunch is just blissful.

I was really disappointed when they stopped selling Mint Chocolate Cookie at the Ben & Jerry’s store, but at least they still have that in pints.

I voted for Jerry’s Jubilee. There’s nothing better than a decadent cherry cordial ice cream. 😃

My favourite flavours were the Heath Bar Crunch and the Chocolate Heath Bar Crunch. I was peeved when they disappeared. So I’ve voted for Chocolate Heath Bar Crunch, although I suspect I’m the first person to do so. It doesn’t even have a description in the Flavour Graveyard. ☹

I wish that they didn’t stop carrying “Everything but the” here. ☹ ☹

That beign said, it looks like my Chocolate Raspberry Truffle is doing well in the polls…

~sniffles~ I was going to post this so I asked a mod if it’d be okay as it’s kinda an email campaign… but he never got back to me! ~sobs~

In any case, go vote for Wavy Gravy, because it is officialy the best, ever.

IT’s Southern Pecan Pie for me, since they didn’t list Nutcracker Sweet (vanilla ice cream with all kinds of chocolate covered nuts in it).

Here in the US, we can get the “Everything but the…” in grocery stores–is that not the case in Canada?

I voted for _Maple-Powered Howard_. I know it was just a limited-edition flavor for the Dean campaign, but that’s no reason not to bring it back. And why not? Conservatives already hate Ben & Jerry for their apparent leanings toward the old hippie culture. Why not give 'em another reason to hate the company? They’ve got nothing to lose, and I can say that I’d buy it.

(And if they wanted to give equal time, they could make a _Jim Douglas Murky Future_ ice cream, or some such. But they really don’t need to give equal time, as I said. I’d buy _Nut-Free Jim Jeffords_ ice cream, too.)
