I love Rum Raisin and so should you! [Stuff Nobody Likes](http://www.stuffnobodylikes.com/?p=7) > [@](#): > > Ice cream is supposed to be pure and glorious, the very symbol of childhood happiness. Rum Raisin corrupts that pastoral memory, however, in ways which make me believe that there should be some kind of ice cream lobby to prevent this shit. Ice cream is supposed to taste like it feels to hug a puppy or run around with your friends on a warm summer evening. Rum Raisin tastes like ass. Your uncle’s ass. And you just want to find a way out of the basement It’s not discontinued, they’re just always out of it when I’ve gone to the store for the last few months, _because it’s so damned popular_! ---

Ben & Jerry’s is overrated. Haagen Dazs is better in every way. And, they still make Rum Raisin. ---

I don’t even want them in my Raisin Bran. But the flavor of the Haagen Daz Rum Raisin isn’t bad. Their Vanilla Bean is my favorite. ---

O M G! My dad used to concoct a rum raisin frozen yogurt. He would make the yogurt at home and freeze it up in an ice cream churn then dish it into little blue specimen cups (2oz) and fill up the freezer. There were about 5-7 yrs of this. RUM RAISIN—\>BLEChhhK!!! (with that Mid-Eastern throat clearing noise) Can _not_ tolerate the stuff. Had to share. ---

I used to love rum raisin ice cream as a kid. I still do. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to eat it. More for me. 😃 ---

Rum Raisin Ice Cream (from Haagen Dazs) is manna from heaven!! 🙂 Rum soaked raisins are awesome. So, by the way, are rum balls. And it’s almost time for those, too!!! 😃
