My god, NO ONE mentioned Festivus??? I’m with Aruvqan in missing Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz, but it is during this holiday season that I _really_ miss Festivus; made of brown sugar ice cream laced with gingery caramel and chewy chunks of gingerbread… \* sigh\* ---

I’m not officially voting yet, since there are a few flavors I haven’t tried. Lemme try them before I get back to you. You know, for the sake of accuracy and as a sign of respect for the scientific method. Having said that, it behooves me to note that my list of three almost has to include Cinnamon Buns and Mission to Marzipan (as noted, not on the list). So, realistically, I need one more. It’ll be tough, since I like most of Ben and Jerry’s flavors. Not all of them, mind you; a few aren’t so much bad as they are, well, nondescript. Certainly not worth paying the B & J’s premium price. No need to name names, right? I mean, that would be rude. Agggggh! Alright, I admit it…I’m looking at _you_, Cake Batter! Whew! That felt good! Such a great weight lifted from my shoulders… ---

I’m surpirsed and pleased that four other people picked Pistachio Pistachio. That is one awesome flavor. My all time favorite will always be Nutcracker Sweet–sweet cream ice cream loaded with various chocolate covered nuts. ---

I don’t see New York Super Fudge Chunk so I only voted for two (Karamel Sutra and Phish Food). If you put that in please add a vote for me. ---

How on earth can I limit it to only three flavors? After a lot of indecision I picked Coffee Heath Bar Crunch, Peanut Butter Cup, and Pumpkin Cheesecake. Of course I plan to test my choices by going out and buying every flavor I can find, and do a scientific taste test. ---

I haven’t cheated on Americone Dream since it came out. 😉 ---

I voted for Everything But The…, Milk & Cookies, and Strawberry Cheesecake. The one I miss badly is Monkey Wrench. It was a combo of Chunky Monkey and Peanut Butter Cup. They really need to bring that back. ---

I’ve never tried most of these, because I can’t walk past the Chunky Monkey. ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > I apologize, an error in transcription resulted in missing an entire row of flavors, mostly starting with M. Well, I’ll forgive you \*this \*time… ETA: And I guess I could actually answer the question while I’m here… Mint Chocolate Cookie Creme Brulee (it really does taste like creme brulee) Chocolate Fudge Brownie ---

I only picked two because I really only ever tried two: S’mores Phish Food I can’t be trusted with a pint of S’mores. It’s true. I will sit and eat the entire thing in one sitting, as I mine down in search of the veins of graham cracker and caramel marshmallow goodness. ---

> [@fusoya](#): > > I see Cherry is winning, but I think Turkey Hill does that flavor much better. Maybe on the Turkey Hill but I did a lot of label reading/research a few years ago in search of dairy products that promise that they don’t do added growth hormones so I’m sticking to Ben & Jerry. 😃 ---

Half Baked is the best of them all! But I also really enjoy Americone Dream and Mint Chocolate Cookie. Now I want ice cream! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-your-three-favorite-ben-jerrys-ice-cream-flavors/561844.md?page=1)
