Needed a snack. Walked down to the Food Emporium. Looked in the freezer aisle. There it was: Limited Batch: Festivus. Had to try it.
Sweet merciful vulva, this stuff is good. “Brown sugar cinnamon ice cream loaded with gingerbread cookies & a ginger caramel swirl.” I’d invite you over to share, but the pint will be gone before I finish posting this. I mean, you can taste how fresh the ginger was in the swirl!
“Festivus: An ice cream for the rest of us.”
I bow down to Ben and Jerry’s, for they provide me with:
Bovinity Divinity
Jerry’s Jubilee 2 Twisted (a combo of Cherry Garcia and Chocolate Fudge Brownie)
And they had another 2 Twisted flavor that combined orange and chocolate ice creams, but the name escapes me. God, it’s good.

I tried Phish Food thanks to Nymysys. As if I wasn’t overweight enough, now I have a steady supply of this stuff in my freezer.
Screw you guys. Chubby Hubby is where it’s at. Peanut butter filled chocolate covered pretzels… it’s salty! It’s sweet! Mmm.
Though chubby hubby may be tasty, I must agree that Phish Phood is where it’s at…No real point to this post, but damn I want some ice cream now!
Your failure to share will be brought up at the Airing of Grievances, I can assure you.
I thought you were thanking Ben and Jerry Stiller…
I am decidedly lowbrow in my ice cream tastes, so that was what came to mind at first. As Jerry Stiller come up with Festivus on Seinfeld…
Hmmm…I’d love to see “Sweet Merciful Vulva” dessert in the freezer too.
My favorite flavor doesn’t seem to be made anymore, sadly, [b[Rainforest Crunch.** I haven’t seen pints of it anywhere, nor is it in the scoop shops.
Oh well, Phish Food and that Kaberry Kaboom will have to do.
I live 45 minutes from where they make Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. I’ve never eaten any before.
I just thought I’d share.

“George, fight your father!”
And you call yourself a Vermonter? tsk tsk.
I live an hour away (when I’m not in school) and have been there once for a tour, it’s cool.
I also love living close enough to buy the seconds, the stuff not good enough for ‘normal’ price. I get to pay less, because there is too much cookie dough, or little chocolate fish. Sweet deal.
(IIRC, the ice cream not good enough for the seconds are fed to pigs, and they tend not to liek Cherry Garcia.)
festivus is yum!
‘island paradise’ is heaven (oh so good!). i also very much like the southern pecan pie and apple crumble ones (really really good. all of these are worthy of the evil ice cream list*)
one i really liked that is in their flavor graveyard is cool britannia… vanilla with strawberries and chocolate covered shortbread pieces. they have it now in a 2twisted combination but it’s just not the same.
the funkiest one i’ve seen is the one with the popping candy in it! i tried a spoonful at a shop, it’s not too bad actually… fruity-berry flavor, and… it crackles!
*evil ice creams are ones that are so absolutely delicious that you could easily eat the whole pint in one sitting and sometimes do. (e.g. hagen daaz’s ‘dulce de leche’ drool)
I’d try it, but I refuse to buy products from a company that supports terrorism.
Its a Festivus Miracle!!
Anyone got an aluminum pole we can eat around?
Festivus is back? Cap’n Crude, for the love of the IPU, tell me you’re not yanking my chain here. As far as I’m concerned, Festivus ice cream is one of the top five achievements of mankind’s entire history, and I have wept oceans of tears at the thought that it was gone forever after New Years Day 2001. It’s back? It’s really back?
::falls to knees crying tears of joy:: I feel the true spirit of Christmas. Bless you, Ben and Jerry, wherever you are.
No yank, Juniper. It’s back. And it’s IN MY BELLY! What’s an IPU?
Badtz, what terrorism are you talking about? My cousin Freddy used to be their CEO (I can prove it), and he never mentioned anything about this to the family.
Anyone else notice that someone named quinoa is posting about eating yummy high fat ice cream? Oh, the irony.
Rasa, I never paid attention to what was in Chubby Hubby before. Dear God in heaven, I MUST STOP AT THE STORE TONIGHT to get me some of that. How wonderful.
I don’t know if B&J supports terrorists, but their ice cream is so good that I’d consider BECOMING one if I could get a free lifetime supply.
Oh, and you KNOW I’m kidding about that, right???
They give a lot of money to Greenpeace, who I consider a terrorist organization.
