My favorite flavors, though I don’t know what this thread is actually about, are in order: Chocolate, cookie dough and mint n’ chip. I could only vote for one, so chocolate got it. ---

I voted for my second-favorite (cookie dough) before realizing there was an “other” option. My favorite is peanut butter swirl. I had to look up “hokey pokey.” That was a new one on me. ---

[Hokey Pokey](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokey_pokey_(ice_cream)) is toffee flavored. [Blue Moon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Moon_(ice_cream)) is apparently more of a color of ice cream rather than a flavor, although it seems to usually be something fruit like. ---

I voted other. Almond (or amaretto), raspberry, cherry vanilla, irish cream, and pineapple-coconut are some of my favorites. Of the choices listed, I’d probably go with chocolate. ---

Cherry with chocolate chunks (so basically Cherry Garcia). The bigger the cherries, the better. ---

Toss up between chocolate and coffee. I went with the latter, partly because the quality of chocolate ice cream varies so widely, whereas I can’t remember ever having bad coffee ice cream. I’m very fond of plain old vanilla, too (especially with either hot chocolate sauce or a shot of espresso poured over it). Never heard of blue moon or tin roof. ---

My favorite flavor by far is peanut butter, I’m obsessed with the stuff since it seems to go well in everything. Unfortunately there are only a couple of store brands that make the flavor and most of them are fairly underwhelming, but I’ve had it at a couple of places that make their own and it’s phenomenal. ---

Butter pecan is the One True Ice Cream. However, Graeter’s, which is the best ice cream maker anywhere, does not make a good butter pecan. ---

Chocolate peanutbutter. Not the uselessness that is _peanutbutter cup_, but chocolate with big old veins of peanut butter running through it, such as is made by Haagan Dazs or, even better, Baskin Robbins. I used to work at Baskin Robbins as a teen and would often mine the peanut butter out of the tub when no one was looking. ---

I voted “mint,” but I really meant mint _chip._ ---

I voted coffee. I’ve never even heard of ‘blue moon’ or ‘hokey pokey’ ice cream. ---

Vanilla is my go to flavor, though there’s a place near me that does a salted caramel that is unbelievably good. ---

Triple chocolate. Rich chocolate ice cream with a chocolate ripple and fudge brownie chunks. I become intoxicated. ---

Give me no other flavors of ice cream besides pistachio or mint chocolate chip, and I wouldn’t really miss any others. ---

Does Watermelon Ice count as “ice cream”? If not, I’ll second Cherry Garcia. ---

I just found one that’s vanilla ice cream with orange sherbet mixed in. Creamsicles without the wrapper, stick, and drippy mess! My new favorite. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ice-cream-flavors/631908.md?page=2)
