I’m asking this on behalf of MilliCal. ---

Peanutbutter and chocolate? no, wait, they have that one. Cake batter? No, that one exists, too, and it is delicious. Ok, my guess is salty peanuts and butter toffee. ---

Since bacon flavor is already out there, I’d say anything goes… jalapeño, perhaps? What I want to know is when will JellyBelly branch out into ice creams? ---

Let’s see now: [This place](http://www.jenisicecreams.com/0500allflavors.html) has flavors like Salty Caramel and Thai Chili. Gravel Road has smoked almonds in it. Extremely yummy. Think I’ll go get some ice cream. GT ---

Over here, you can find Green Tea and even Durian flavors. ---

How about [“a combination of chocolate and cream stout with chunks of glazed chocolate donuts”](http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/19/mmmmm-doughnut-ice-cream/). Mmmmmmmm. Tastes something-something. :drools: ---

We just got back from playing miniature golf. They gave MilliCal a free Italian Ice, which turned out to be Cotton Candy flavor. Yuck. we went back and bought a lemon one. Durian ice cream? Given its reputation, how does the ice cream _smell_? ---

[QUOTE=gardentraveler] Gravel Road has smoked almonds in it. Extremely yummy. [/QUOTE] The next logical step is actual gravel. Not an original thought, but what about [cat box](http://www.thecattbox.com/catts%20kitchen%202.htm)? ---

Every possible ice cream flavor has already been thought of and either tested and/or brought to market with the exception of these two: Lint. Funnel Web Spider Crunch. ---

Well, if you can find [lobster](http://gonewengland.about.com/b/a/089647.htm) ice cream, I’m pretty sure you can find any other flavor imaginable as well. ---

Since just about every conceivable flavor has been tried, the only thing left is more exotic combinations. From this thread alone, I’m thinking jalopeno lobster. ---

I tasted a popcorn-flavored lollipop once. It was horendous. The taste of greasy butter on a sweet hard candy was enough to make me throw up. I hope they don’t come up with popcorn ice cream! I, personally, like anything chocolate that doesn’t have nuts. 🙂 ---

Wasabi mint. Pineapple orange ginger (which is delicious, by the way). ---

Well, there’s already [raw horseflesh](http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/photospecials/graph/040701ice/1.html), so anything after that is just noise. I love caramel pretzel, by the way. There’s a frozen custard place near here called Sheridan’s that makes a concrete (firm-type custardy treat) called “Caramel Pretzel Crunch” that ranks as my co-favorite, right next to caramel cheesecake. The good thing about the pretzels is, it keeps you from wolfing it down too fast, so you can enjoy it longer. ---

[QUOTE=Strinka] I wonder if there’s a salt and vinegar flavor. They have potato chips that are salt and vinegar flavored. [/QUOTE] That’s what I wanted to reply! Since you mentioned that one, I’d have to go with Anchovies and cheese. Delicious in a waffle cone dipped in cherry!
