I worked at a Baskin=-Robbins off and on during high school and college. By far, the most popular flavor (not counting Vanilla which was heavily used for cakes and milkshakes and sundaes and such), was **Pralines ‘n’ Cream**. We processed an order every 2 weeks. Typically we’d get 12 tubs of Pralines ‘n’ Cream. By comparison, the most we’d have on other popular flavors was 4-6. Pralines ‘n’ Cream is my favorite as well. It didn’t appear to even make the OP’s top 25. One of us is living in Bizarro world. ---

Of the choices, I’d select French Vanilla, but there was this great ice cream place near where I vacationed with my sisters and my nieces and nephew. I had their banana and salted caramel ice cream. Oh my God was it good. I had the banana twice. ---

> [@](#): > > 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. True, but only if you’re old. 😃 To clarify: senior citizens eat more butter pecan than any other flavor, this I’ve noticed after nearly 30 years in the biz. Personally I prefer mint chocolate chip, watermelon sherbet, toffee and fried ice cream flavors. ---

Nice to see I’m not the only butter pecan fan out there, but I’ll take just about any ice cream offered to me. Well, maybe not Rocky Road, not a marshmallow fan. ---

> [@WOOKINPANUB](#): > > 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. Did you double dip? ---

Chocolate, especially Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Therapy and Graeter’s Chocolate w/chips. Second favorite is Ben & Jerry’s Karamel Sutra. If it’s Baskin-Robbins, then another vote for Pralines and Cream. ---

I voted French Vanilla, but after some thought I decided that Ben & Jerry’s Americone Dream is really my favorite. ---

I voted for chocolate, but there are so many variations on chocolate. My favorite ice cream is World Class Chocolate from Baskin Robbins. It’s a mix of white and dark chocolate, and it is perfection. ---

Chocolate, preferably with cherries and pecans, or oreos, or M&M’s, or brownies, or… but yeah, chocolate. A local church recently had an ice cream social featuring 30 different flavors, all homemade. IMHO the best was vanilla ice cream with chunks of red velvet cake. Truly heavenly. Now if they would only make it with chocolate ice cream. ---

I picked pistachio but I feel that could change at any given time. I just love so many flavors, chocolate and vanilla are probably my least favorite. That might be weird, I don’t know. ---

Peanut butter, without any sort of chocolate in it. My second favorite is bubble gum. Oddly enough both are not on the list. ---

So many flavors, so little time. I ended up picking plain chocolate, because I love it. All the other I might have picked, with one or two exceptions, have chocolate as an ingredient, like mocha, or peanut butter and chocolate, or mint chocolate chip. Almost fifty years ago, when I was eight years old, the first Baskin-Robbins in our town opened. My mom took me there and I was so entranced by all the choices I couldn’t make a choice, and finally picked plain chocolate. My mom had been ready to drag me out of the place. ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > I’ve always heard that vanilla is the most popular flavor. If you combine the Vanilla and French Vanilla results (and discount the “Other” category) it’s currently leading the poll. ---

I voted for hokey pokey. I love it. I’ve never heard of blue moon, dulce de leche or tin roof. ---

Partial to rum raisin, though it is rare enough that I eat it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ice-cream-flavors/631908.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ice-cream-flavors/631908.md?page=4)
