Top Four

◼   ► my lunch today consists of a handful of

◼   ► spinach a couple of slices of cucumber

◼   ► one hard-boiled egg and 24 flavors of

◼   ► ice cream are you ready all right we're

◼   ► trying to group them into groups we're

◼   ► gonna start with the lightest group

◼   ► which we believe is the fruit and nut

◼   ► group but not all right so so we should

◼   ► be four as we start and as tip start to

◼   ► opening up all the ice creams we should

◼   ► discuss that we are we are doing top

◼   ► four Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavors

◼   ► oh yeah that's what we're doing guys

◼   ► you're not here with us and you can't

◼   ► actually see what we're doing you can't

◼   ► see our table full of ice cream

◼   ► tablecloth so we're doing we're gonna do

◼   ► them in groups because ice cream melts

◼   ► quickly and it's summertime and so we

◼   ► are starting out we have 24 flavors

◼   ► total these these were our criteria were

◼   ► basically no limited batch stuff cuz you

◼   ► know we that this podcast wouldn't age

◼   ► well if we did limited batch stuff we we

◼   ► left out all of the non-dairy flavors

◼   ► because I've tried a couple of here in

◼   ► there and they're okay but I would say

◼   ► the nothing to write home about

◼   ► would you agree I don't I didn't even

◼   ► see them in the grocery store so I don't

◼   ► even know yeah actually haven't I saw

◼   ► them only only on the website this year

◼   ► last year I tried a few of them when

◼   ► they first came out and they're fine

◼   ► if you can't have dairy they're a good

◼   ► option but if you can't have dairy the

◼   ► dairy ones are better we went to three

◼   ► different grocery stores to find the

◼   ► selection that we have today and I think

◼   ► we did pretty good we left out a couple

◼   ► of big ones that I think that people

◼   ► might or might not be well they might be

◼   ► upset about but it would they would

◼   ► never make our list so we didn't include

◼   ► them like I'm sorry chunky monkey but if

◼   ► you happen like I have I can't eat

◼   ► banana due to a stomach allergy and so

◼   ► that rules out anything banana for me so

◼   ► the rule is like if TIFF doesn't like it

◼   ► which tip doesn't like walnuts so that

◼   ► ruled out the banana for her we also

◼   ► didn't include any discontinued flavors

◼   ► primarily because we can't get them but

◼   ► I would like to pour one out here well

◼   ► two one outs to slowly melt one out for

◼   ► Bonnaroo buzz Bonnaroo buzz is a

◼   ► wonderful flavor and the little

◼   ► spin-offs that have come off of it like

◼   ► urban bourbon I do not think are as good

◼   ► and all right so this is unlike a lot of

◼   ► our other top four episodes everyone

◼   ► snow

◼   ► we do do a big tasting episode like this

◼   ► because we're just not sure of what our

◼   ► top four is because you know you get ice

◼   ► cream sometimes here and there or or

◼   ► more often like all the time like we do

◼   ► but you aren't really sure when you're

◼   ► talking about comparing flavors because

◼   ► there's so many like chunky brownies

◼   ► surprise sundae swirl tastic you know

◼   ► hardcore yeah I don't even know but it

◼   ► the the adjectives just keep on coming

◼   ► with Ben Jerry's so we decided to

◼   ► actually get as many as we could and

◼   ► compare them to each other also one

◼   ► other disclaimer we did not include any

◼   ► of the core flavors the horns the ones

◼   ► that have like the the center cylinder

◼   ► of some kind of rich pasty stuff with

◼   ► the ice cream circle around it I have

◼   ► mixed feelings about the core flavors

◼   ► they seem to go nuts with them like two

◼   ► years ago when they first invented that

◼   ► or whatever and it seemed like every

◼   ► flit every new flavor that came out for

◼   ► for like a year was a core flavor and I

◼   ► honestly didn't find anything

◼   ► particularly noteworthy about any of

◼   ► them that they did have a hazelnut one

◼   ► that seems to be no longer in production

◼   ► that was okay but the problem with the

◼   ► core is to me is they have like the

◼   ► Neapolitan ice cream problem where you

◼   ► have hey hey hey don't knock me upon ice

◼   ► cream well but kind of love Neapolitan

◼   ► ice cream but it you'd but if you don't

◼   ► really care for any one of those parts

◼   ► it's kind of it kind of sucks to eat and

◼   ► that's the problem with with the core is

◼   ► that they put like two or three totally

◼   ► separate elements just kind of next to

◼   ► each other in the tub and you have to

◼   ► like all two or three of them for it to

◼   ► really be good if there's one thing you

◼   ► don't care for like the hazelnut one I

◼   ► loved the the hazelnut chocolate core

◼   ► and the hazelnut flavored ice cream but

◼   ► next to it was just a boring chocolate

◼   ► ice cream that was taking up a third of

◼   ► the container that I didn't really care

◼   ► for and I would just kind of plow

◼   ► through like like really wasting those

◼   ► calories for this thing I don't really

◼   ► care for just to really keep it even and

◼   ► not be a jerk and get to the two things

◼   ► that did like but the whole point of New

◼   ► Holland ice cream is eating it all

◼   ► together and that's why it's so good

◼   ► right but the problem is that's very

◼   ► challenging to come up with like a

◼   ► flavor combination really you like all

◼   ► three of these things like Neapolitan

◼   ► chocolate vanilla and strawberry even

◼   ► that is controversial like Eva

◼   ► people even don't like one of those

◼   ► things because why you always get the

◼   ► you know if you have one of the little

◼   ► like rectangular big tubs of Neapolitan

◼   ► out at a party there's always gonna be

◼   ► like you know the chocolate ones gonna

◼   ► be two feet high and the vanilla and

◼   ► strawberry are gonna be down at the

◼   ► bottom that's because people are animals

◼   ► right so anyway so we left most of the

◼   ► cores out corn partly just to narrow it

◼   ► down a little bit and probably because

◼   ► we've never really found any that really

◼   ► seemed worth it to us I'm glad that you

◼   ► have feelings about course I do

◼   ► all right let's get in this before they

◼   ► become little puddles first so we have

◼   ► we have seven out right now yep seven so

◼   ► two of them are actually the same but

◼   ► different versions we have a Froyo

◼   ► version because I think my number one is

◼   ► going to be a possible Froyo yes and

◼   ► this is also the only Froyo variety that

◼   ► we have here yeah Frio has I think a

◼   ► similar problem is the non-dairy ones

◼   ► which is most of them are fine but the

◼   ► dairy ones are better that this is my

◼   ► said moose no okay you so TIFF disagrees

◼   ► on the one we have here okay so what we

◼   ► have here is I think my favorite one of

◼   ► all of the ice creams we're gonna start

◼   ► off big people because you only live

◼   ► once right and summertime and we're a

◼   ► living large so we're gonna be logs are

◼   ► a little large we're gonna get larger to

◼   ► get larger yeah okay well and to be fair

◼   ► on that point as a general statement I

◼   ► would rather like be very responsible in

◼   ► the rest of my diet and exercise just to

◼   ► make room in the budget for Ben and

◼   ► Jerry sometimes because I we love ice

◼   ► cream everyone lets ice cream we love

◼   ► ice cream and I would say if you're

◼   ► going to eat ice cream you might as well

◼   ► eat the best ice cream like it's not

◼   ► worth the calories to eat crappy ice

◼   ► cream but Ben and Jerry's even though it

◼   ► is quite high calorie is awesome ice

◼   ► cream and we've tried so many others we

◼   ► went through a tell NT gelato phase and

◼   ► we even thought about doing a top four

◼   ► on those and it's just not as good like

◼   ► it's fine like other ice creams can be

◼   ► good but Ben & Jerry's is better simple

◼   ► as that

◼   ► Thank You PSA okay so what I was going

◼   ► to say is alright I love Cherry Garcia

◼   ► it is my favorite but it yeah I like it

◼   ► better in the Froyo version which is the

◼   ► frozen you

◼   ► one because it's less grainy if you have

◼   ► the ice-cream version versus the frozen

◼   ► yogurt the frozen yogurt is a lot

◼   ► smoother and the ice cream one is much

◼   ► more grainy in the main ice cream area

◼   ► okay yeah you know like it's not about

◼   ► the it's not the berries aren't grainy

◼   ► or anything it's the the main holding

◼   ► liquid yeah all right let's crack these

◼   ► suckers open all right let's do it

◼   ► the logistics of trying to taste 24

◼   ► flavors of ice cream on a podcast are

◼   ► quite something

◼   ► especially cuz we're not doing it at our

◼   ► kitchen table because the room there is

◼   ► incredibly echoey I'd make for terrible

◼   ► audio so we're trying to do those all in

◼   ► the office on this little tiny table

◼   ► this is not the things we do for for you

◼   ► are our wonderful audience

◼   ► this is really something else oh this is

◼   ► just a mess okay okay so now we're

◼   ► facing this direction all right so all

◼   ► right well we got here we are calling

◼   ► this the what was it fruit and nut group

◼   ► yes which also includes the Cheesecake

◼   ► group you know sometimes the weird

◼   ► breeds get in some group and you're like

◼   ► why why is the pomeranian working I

◼   ► don't know what it's working for but it

◼   ► no it's not really in a working group

◼   ► but when we tried to separate these into

◼   ► groups of like you know five or so so we

◼   ► could do it do without them all melting

◼   ► it's very hard to to make coherent

◼   ► groups of Ben and Jerry's later because

◼   ► there's a lot of overlaps like well once

◼   ► you include you know she's cake and what

◼   ► about red velvet cake is that cheese

◼   ► cake and then the cinnamon buns were

◼   ► kind of cake like it yeah okay start out

◼   ► okay for it we have red velvet cake we

◼   ► have strawberry cheesecake we have two

◼   ► types of Cherry Garcia we have

◼   ► cheesecake brownie we have pistachio and

◼   ► cinnamon buns I'm starting out with a

◼   ► red velvet cake okay I really like the

◼   ► strawberry it really melds the alright

◼   ► go for the middle in the middle it's not

◼   ► okay what I really like about strawberry

◼   ► cheesecake ice cream

◼   ► it's from Ben and Jerry's

◼   ► is it has the graham swirl in it which

◼   ► is oh we should have had the s'mores out

◼   ► I'm a sucker for Graham swirls I love

◼   ► Graham swirls and ice cream so this has

◼   ► like that little fruity kind of acidic

◼   ► flavor from the strawberries which is

◼   ► really nice and light vanilla ice cream

◼   ► well it says cheesecake ice cream but so

◼   ► it's just extra flavor right angle cake

◼   ► by the way is awesome

◼   ► I just dripped it on my pants okay and

◼   ► it also has the graham in it so it's

◼   ► really good the very first flavor you

◼   ► are you driven your pants it's okay stay

◼   ► you're due for a wash strawberry

◼   ► cheesecake versus red velvet cake all

◼   ► right I have a lot of feelings about red

◼   ► velvet in general not this ice cream

◼   ► which I haven't tried yet

◼   ► oh my it's good right

◼   ► it tastes like cake batter yeah the red

◼   ► velvet cake is way better than I thought

◼   ► it would be the strawberry cheesecake I

◼   ► do love that Graham element really does

◼   ► it for me too

◼   ► okay I'm having way more than one

◼   ► spoonful of each another

◼   ► I'm gonna be hell to sustain this level

◼   ► of ice cream eating okay I'm trying to

◼   ► be like a spoonful and a half at most

◼   ► for the most part I think that red

◼   ► velvet cake is a lie because it's a

◼   ► total fraud of a cake cuz it's just

◼   ► chocolate cake with a whole bunch of red

◼   ► dye in it and it doesn't make it any

◼   ► kind of special it's chocolate cake with

◼   ► cream cheese icing which i think is as a

◼   ► cake it is the most live a cake if there

◼   ► ever did cake but it didn't Ben and

◼   ► Jerry's ice cream right now this is

◼   ► delicious because it is it has the rich

◼   ► cakey flavor it tastes like you're

◼   ► eating cake batter so wet cinnamon buns

◼   ► is also surprisingly good it's almost

◼   ► like cinnamon cookie dough like they

◼   ► have these little chunks of what

◼   ► basically is cookie dough and it's it's

◼   ► surprisingly good I did not think this

◼   ► along with the red velvet cake I don't

◼   ► have high hopes for the the cinnamon bun

◼   ► I figured it would be a little bit

◼   ► boring but it's green yeah I was really

◼   ► good to do it isn't that me so hard

◼   ► that's what she said moving on to the in

◼   ► the cake room now moving on to

◼   ► cheesecake brownie this is the cinnamon

◼   ► bun wise says dough and cinnamon

◼   ► streusel swirl I am really into anything

◼   ► that has kind of like cakey cookie

◼   ► pieces in it she's a brownie to me is

◼   ► kind of a letdown it

◼   ► as advertiser I'm ready to be let down

◼   ► let me see I need to not let just feel

◼   ► like the other cake flavor is totally

◼   ► out classic all right if this were like

◼   ► the only ice cream I can get my hands on

◼   ► it's very good yeah but it doesn't stand

◼   ► out in a memorable way right and the

◼   ► others really do the others are great

◼   ► this just kind of falls into the

◼   ► category of vanilla ice cream with stuff

◼   ► floating in it

◼   ► which we should that should have been

◼   ► another group that would have been like

◼   ► half the ice creams all right so now I'm

◼   ► trying I'm moving on to the Cherry

◼   ► Garcia family the regular one is quite

◼   ► awesome all right let me try it again

◼   ► maybe I got some bad batches so I detect

◼   ► no difference in greenness between the

◼   ► two I also though detect very little

◼   ► difference at all between the two

◼   ► between the between the Cherry Garcia

◼   ► ice cream versus Froyo so in that way I

◼   ► would say did you go for the Froyo then

◼   ► it's less calories okay I also do not

◼   ► detect a difference in the graininess in

◼   ► this batch so maybe I had a bad batch

◼   ► and that's why I got scared away from

◼   ► the ice cream version but I feel like

◼   ► the the cherry the the cherry frozen

◼   ► yogurt is more flavorful than the cherry

◼   ► ice cream I feel like the cherry ice

◼   ► cream gets overtaken with like all the

◼   ► dairy and the richness of the cream

◼   ► whereas the Froyo it keeps that really

◼   ► light cherry flavor and it stands out a

◼   ► lot more so it is still bangin hmm

◼   ► okay I would also then move on to

◼   ► pistachio pistachio and I like any

◼   ► pistachio ice cream really from like the

◼   ► cheap like bright green crazy stuff in

◼   ► the generic flavors to the fancy one

◼   ► here and pistachio pistachio is awesome

◼   ► I will however say that you know like

◼   ► the the she that she has brown anyone

◼   ► with it like she's cake brownie

◼   ► pistachio pistachio doesn't really stand

◼   ► out like is nothing where those things

◼   ► were like if we have if it's all we have

◼   ► I will greatly enjoy it okay but do you

◼   ► not agree no I do not agree because

◼   ► pistachio pistachio has this really

◼   ► beautiful light flavor again another

◼   ► thing why I really like the Cherry

◼   ► Garcia

◼   ► because sometimes ice cream with a whole

◼   ► bunch of stuff in it it's so heavy and

◼   ► at the end of a big meal or especially

◼   ► in the summertime you have a barbecue or

◼   ► a cookout or something and you're ready

◼   ► for some ice cream I really like a light

◼   ► ice cream at the end of the day I don't

◼   ► want to feel

◼   ► like I'm eating a pile of cookies and

◼   ► brownies and fudge and caramel and all

◼   ► that stuff that's just so it's like a

◼   ► meal in itself so I feel like both

◼   ► Cherry Garcia Froyo and pistachio

◼   ► pistachio have that really nice light

◼   ► element in addition to the actual red

◼   ► velvet cake which I'm surprised be this

◼   ► red velvet cake is must be chocolate

◼   ► cake but in this ice cream it is not

◼   ► chocolate at all but it's just red cake

◼   ► yeah so I just read tasted small amounts

◼   ► of my three top cakes the these cinnamon

◼   ► buns the strawberry cheesecake and the

◼   ► red velvet cake I would say red velvet

◼   ► cake wild is delicious I think

◼   ► strawberry cheesecake out does it for

◼   ► what for me

◼   ► so are we ranking these in groupings

◼   ► well I have to I'm kinda I'm figuring we

◼   ► do like a like a two-stage thing like

◼   ► you take the finalists after each round

◼   ► and if you like a finalist tasting I and

◼   ► I would say cinnamon buns has a similar

◼   ► issue like all three of those are

◼   ► delicious but strawberry cheesecakes

◼   ► extra little tangy eNOS an extra graham

◼   ► swirl I think do it for me so strawberry

◼   ► cheesecake is my top pick in the cake

◼   ► family and the rest of these I think you

◼   ► know Cherry Garcia is good you know it's

◼   ► it's fine but the rest of these none of

◼   ► them I don't think are gonna make my top

◼   ► four but strawberry cheesecake might

◼   ► well I I'm definitely Cherry Garcia

◼   ► Froyo is still way up there for me I

◼   ► just really really like it um I'm

◼   ► stashing a pistachio it might even be a

◼   ► contender and strawberry cheesecake - oh

◼   ► I just really like this group oh this is

◼   ► like ice cream yeah I think I think I'm

◼   ► learning that I think I just really

◼   ► scream okay all right let's put these

◼   ► back in the freezer and prepare the next

◼   ► group all right well TIFF is doing that

◼   ► know I'm already not feeling so well you

◼   ► see you you took too big of a spoon well

◼   ► okay I have a freezer confession as I

◼   ► was putting them away I tried some again

◼   ► you're gonna regret that in about 20

◼   ► minutes

◼   ► I said solidify at my brain as the you

◼   ► know ice cream was unsolicited like

◼   ► reaching anymore is a mint chocolate

◼   ► cookie it should be a good palate

◼   ► cleanser min cello's cookie

◼   ► it's just Oreos in mint ice cream see

◼   ► s'mores is fine it I'm not really a

◼   ► chocolate ice cream person I'm gonna

◼   ► dislike chocolate ice cream I just I

◼   ► would if given the chance to have a

◼   ► chocolate ice cream full of stuff or

◼   ► vanilla ice cream full of stuff I will

◼   ► choose the vanilla one every time I do

◼   ► wish the s'mores was made with vanilla

◼   ► ice cream and said because I love a

◼   ► marshmallow sorrel in my ice cream Unni

◼   ► and yeah I did not like this as much as

◼   ► I thought coz to be yeah it does the

◼   ► chocolate just berry like that also

◼   ► claims to have a graham swirl I found no

◼   ► trace of that hold on I'm digging I'm

◼   ► gonna dig oh that's dangerous it's not

◼   ► dangerous this is science we have our

◼   ► safety goggles on I'm still not finding

◼   ► any I'm now gonna try your mint and

◼   ► cookies I'm deep down in the court

◼   ► nothing nothing yeah so the mint cookie

◼   ► one yeah it's fine but to me this is

◼   ► like a basic mint chocolate chip slash

◼   ► cookies and cream anybody could do this

◼   ► you don't need Ben and Jerry's to do

◼   ► that I feel like if you're if you're

◼   ► going for Ben and Jerry's I feel like

◼   ► you can get a more interesting flavor

◼   ► than that alright I found some I found

◼   ► some stuff in here I'm gonna eat it I'm

◼   ► still digging through the s'mores yeah

◼   ► even when I'm eating the prime location

◼   ► of all the stuff it's still totally

◼   ► overpowered by the chocolate so if you

◼   ► love chocolate ice cream this is pretty

◼   ► good but again I don't think this is

◼   ► gonna make the list and we went to a

◼   ► special store for this one - yeah the

◼   ► milk and cookies I would say is a really

◼   ► good version of cookies and cream they

◼   ► they add that whenever that like that

◼   ► brown stuff is with the light brown

◼   ► stuff in there it's a chocolate chip

◼   ► cookie oh okay it's chocolate chip

◼   ► cookies oh there's more chocolate

◼   ► cookies as opposed to like a minty Oreos

◼   ► okay yeah that makes more sense that's

◼   ► the best kind of like the cookie dough

◼   ► part of it

◼   ► I really enjoyed milking cookies

◼   ► but I would say it has the same problem

◼   ► as the Mint cookie one which is I think

◼   ► if you're with Ben and Jared you can do

◼   ► better yeah

◼   ► if I wanted a cookie and cream ice cream

◼   ► this is better than like a standard

◼   ► cookie in cream yeah it agree with that

◼   ► all right gonna go to standard cookie

◼   ► dough that there's one lump right on top

◼   ► and I'll go with half baked while you're

◼   ► doing that well that's a pretty big lump

◼   ► too again cookie dough ice cream you

◼   ► don't have to buy Ben and Jerry's get

◼   ► cookie dough ice cream I would say it's

◼   ► not worth it coming to you from experts

◼   ► at a tough war not worth it man this

◼   ► grip is disappointing me so and then

◼   ► here I have half baked which is

◼   ► essentially cookie dough with fudge

◼   ► brownie dough or fudge brownies I agree

◼   ► with you on the regular cookie dough not

◼   ► worth it oh really big Peter brave yeah

◼   ► the half baked I think is more

◼   ► interesting but it's also I think it's

◼   ► more for chocolate ice cream lovers it's

◼   ► not doing much for me it a lot of that

◼   ► stuff gets buried

◼   ► I literally just ate like a full brownie

◼   ► with some ice cream melted next to it I

◼   ► mean a grant like that is kind of the

◼   ► point like so I understand why people

◼   ► like it but yeah it doesn't do anything

◼   ► for me mm-hmm doesn't do it okay last is

◼   ► um

◼   ► out of this world out of this world it's

◼   ► not you know cookie flavor my hand is so

◼   ► cold from passing around these pints

◼   ► okay first of all problems hashtag

◼   ► buttery brown sugar ice cream with fudgy

◼   ► flakes and oatmeal cinnamon cookie

◼   ► swirled it tastes just like Cinnabon but

◼   ► with chocolate chips in it nope nope I'm

◼   ► feeling nothing from this group I had

◼   ► very high hopes for odorless rogues I'm

◼   ► a huge fan of oatmeal cookies and I

◼   ► didn't do it for me

◼   ► it just it's fine it's not bad I mean

◼   ► it's hard to make a bad tasting ice

◼   ► cream that's just not good it's just not

◼   ► it's not enough there's not there's

◼   ► nothing special about it it's kind of

◼   ► it's all it's almost bland

◼   ► Wow I feel like we started on such a

◼   ► high where I couldn't even pick which

◼   ► ones I like the best and now this whole

◼   ► group that's what how many ice creams

◼   ► six ice creams now that I have no

◼   ► feelings about I would rather have any

◼   ► of the previous groups ice creams then

◼   ► the top pick of these I agree I'm really

◼   ► happy we have similar ice cream tastes

◼   ► because it allows us to share a pint on

◼   ► the couch instead of having to have two

◼   ► okay cookie group kind of a bust

◼   ► sorry cookies you're out all right

◼   ► that's two groups down two to go

◼   ► and I'll take this halftime chance to

◼   ► tell you our Ben and Jerry's factory

◼   ► story we went on a hike the only hike

◼   ► slash camping trip we've ever gone on my

◼   ► wonderful all Eagle Scout friends from

◼   ► high school convinced us that we should

◼   ► go hike on the long trail with them in

◼   ► Vermont this was not a good idea it went

◼   ► quite poorly and halfway through the

◼   ► trip about half the group just decided

◼   ► we can't and won't to continue it's like

◼   ► three days in and so half the group

◼   ► decided they wanted to keep going so the

◼   ► half that left the group went to the Ben

◼   ► Jerry's Factory and a Benihana and

◼   ► texted the still camping group pictures

◼   ► of our wonderful things and we got

◼   ► ourselves pint cozies and had a

◼   ► wonderful time at the Ben Jerry's

◼   ► Factory in Burlington Vermont and we

◼   ► still use those pint cozies today which

◼   ► but we're not using them now because

◼   ► it's a pain to shift them yeah quite

◼   ► gross oh yeah they're super gross

◼   ► although we will not call them koozies

◼   ► no that's illegal New York all right so

◼   ► this we kind of now as mentioned earlier

◼   ► we've had some trouble grouping these

◼   ► into coherent groups this is kind of

◼   ► like the the like everything else group

◼   ► because we have we have a final group

◼   ► that makes more sense so this is kind of

◼   ► like the leftovers group we have two

◼   ► coffee flavors two chocolate heavy

◼   ► flavors and peanut butter cup so we

◼   ► figured that we separate yeah we

◼   ► separated these because they had fewer

◼   ► ingredients and more strong flavors and

◼   ► we also wanted to pit the coffee's

◼   ► against each other

◼   ► and the chocolates against each other so

◼   ► yeah I'm gonna start with peanut butter

◼   ► cup because it's a different one I'm

◼   ► gonna need some water after those we're

◼   ► getting us fresh spoons every time for

◼   ► every grouping well I mean we're

◼   ► professionals here Larry like don't want

◼   ► to contaminate flavors or have like a

◼   ► you know wet spoon or to warm spoon so

◼   ► many factors

◼   ► no I don't need your spoon all right

◼   ► we're starting with peanut butter has

◼   ► strong it's different see peanut butter

◼   ► is one of my favorite ice cream

◼   ► ingredients there's a whole weight I

◼   ► wish you creating a full cup it looks

◼   ► there's a full peanut butter cup in here

◼   ► like cracked because for like stomach

◼   ► control reasons like I'm not eating it I

◼   ► already ate that full brownie

◼   ► accidentally found its way in I don't

◼   ► know at any other time when I mean I

◼   ► would go right for that but there's

◼   ► lokay it says it says peanut butter cups

◼   ► and they literally mean entire peanut

◼   ► butter cups yeah and so peanut butter I

◼   ► love and Ben and Jerry's has had many

◼   ► wonderful peanut butter for actually

◼   ► disappointed it seems like what used to

◼   ► be called cluster fluff and then was

◼   ► renamed to what a cluster that appears

◼   ► to be gone and I really missed that was

◼   ► so good that was amazing does that hit

◼   ► my mark of having the swirl of it was a

◼   ► marshmallow and a peanut butter swirl

◼   ► through relic if given the choice

◼   ► between peanut butter cups buried in the

◼   ► ice cream or a peanut butter swirl

◼   ► throughout I'll take the swirl every

◼   ► time oh yeah you have to take the swirl

◼   ► every time especially if it's with

◼   ► marshmallow balances it's nice I really

◼   ► miss cluster fluff / what the cluster or

◼   ► what a cluster and that's a Shana that

◼   ► appears to be gone hopefully they'll

◼   ► replace it with something good but I

◼   ► don't peanut butter cup it's fine it

◼   ► tastes like other peanut butter cup ice

◼   ► creams yeah I mean it's really similar

◼   ► to like the cookies and creams that we

◼   ► had last time like yeah it's a good ice

◼   ► cream but I don't think it's I would say

◼   ► though I think if you like pistachio I

◼   ► think this is the same level of goodness

◼   ► as the pistachio one if there was

◼   ► nothing else that I liked in in a dairy

◼   ► case and I wanted to my ice cream I'd

◼   ► buy this one I mean I do like peanut

◼   ► butter ice cream I used to think that I

◼   ► didn't and then Marco started having

◼   ► peanut butter ice cream and then I

◼   ► started stealing spoonfuls of his peanut

◼   ► butter ice cream even though I kept to

◼   ► saying that I don't like it even though

◼   ► I kept eating it and so now I guess I

◼   ► have to officially say that I like

◼   ► peanut butter ice cream and again this

◼   ► is it's good but I said I very good I

◼   ► miss the other one though I miss the one

◼   ► with the swirl off that would that was

◼   ► way better it was way better sorry Ben &

◼   ► Jerry's bring back cluster fluff please

◼   ► alright moving on to you think we'll do

◼   ► the chocolate ones and then we'll finish

◼   ► with some coffee for dessert yeah yeah

◼   ► she's out chocolate pretty good sure

◼   ► right we have two chocolates here we

◼   ► have chocolate therapy and chocolate

◼   ► fudge brownie brownie okay it's very

◼   ► small to read we got the tiny chocolate

◼   ► fudge brownie one yeah chocolate fudge

◼   ► brownie okay chocolate therapy has fudge

◼   ► swirls putting ice cream and chocolate

◼   ► cookies and chocolate fudge brownie has

◼   ► chocolate brownies chocolate ice cream

◼   ► with fudge brownies yeah so chocolate

◼   ► fudge brownie I would say is incredibly

◼   ► boring yep

◼   ► tastes like chocolate ice cream yeah

◼   ► yeah it's like if you want a chocolaty

◼   ► Ben and Jerry's flavor you can do better

◼   ► than that mm-hmm yep yeah that's fine

◼   ► moving on to chocolate therapy so what's

◼   ► different about this one therapy has

◼   ► three wheels of chocolate pudding ice

◼   ► cream are also in there and choc cookies

◼   ► instead of chocolate fudge yeah there's

◼   ► no brownies in this one just putting in

◼   ► chocolate and chocolate and another

◼   ► chocolate I would say those are almost

◼   ► indistinguishable from each other and I

◼   ► don't know why they're two separate

◼   ► flavors and they're both very boring to

◼   ► me I disagree on principle because I

◼   ► feel like I they need to be different

◼   ► cuz I really like this company and they

◼   ► do wonderful things for the world but

◼   ► yeah they pretty much taste the same

◼   ► actually yeah let's do a blind taste

◼   ► test okay

◼   ► no I actually feel like the chocolate

◼   ► therapy is a little bit richer and it

◼   ► has it does you do taste like the

◼   ► chocolate pudding this a little bit more

◼   ► let me see oh it's on my pants

◼   ► oh gosh key pops away I'll just spoon it

◼   ► up it's fine I'm gonna have to change my

◼   ► clothes yeah I find no reason to really

◼   ► eat either of those unless you just love

◼   ► chocolate ice cream yeah I feel like it

◼   ► also if you're shopping and you were

◼   ► looking for chocolate ice cream

◼   ► grabbing either one of these would

◼   ► satisfy your craving looking at them the

◼   ► chocolate fudge brownie is lighter brown

◼   ► color than the chocolate therapy which

◼   ► is much darker it tastes the same I

◼   ► think the chocolate therapy tastes a

◼   ► little bit richer yeah I think having

◼   ► that having the chocolate pudding in

◼   ► there helps a little bit but it does if

◼   ► you're looking for chocolate ice cream

◼   ► I would buy the chocolate therapy over

◼   ► the chocolate brownie yeah I guess I

◼   ► would too but in reality I would buy

◼   ► neither of them yeah all right now let's

◼   ► move on to the coffee group this this

◼   ► includes what used to be called coffee

◼   ► heath bar crunch now it's called coffee

◼   ► toffee bar crunch and coffee coffee buzz

◼   ► buzz buzz we left out the vanilla toffee

◼   ► one

◼   ► yeah the vanilla what used to be called

◼   ► mental heath bar crunch now vanilla

◼   ► toffee bar crunch we left that out

◼   ► because it we've we've had a lot of

◼   ► these before they used to be like our

◼   ► go-to flavors and I would say if you

◼   ► know if you you could just try one of

◼   ► them like I don't think they're that

◼   ► different from each other with the

◼   ► exception obviously one of them is

◼   ► coffee flavored if you like coffee ice

◼   ► cream I'm a big fan of the coffee toffee

◼   ► bar crunch however as I have gotten more

◼   ► into drinking black coffee as I've

◼   ► gotten older since I first discovered

◼   ► ice cream I actually don't like coffee

◼   ► ice cream anymore because it tastes to

◼   ► me like coffee with too much milk and

◼   ► sugar in it I mean it is coffee and

◼   ► sugar in it right it makes total sense

◼   ► and the aftertaste lingers in my mouth

◼   ► the same way I get like aftertaste if I

◼   ► if I ever drink coffee with stuff in it

◼   ► okay well one has is coffee with

◼   ► chocolate pieces the other is coffee

◼   ► with fudge and chocolate no sorry for

◼   ► toffee bar toffee and fudge they look

◼   ► exactly the same

◼   ► so coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz has a

◼   ► very nice strength of espresso flavor

◼   ► like because the the chocolate bits

◼   ► almost taste what they have ground up

◼   ► espresso beans in them do they yes this

◼   ► is espresso bean fudge that's it so if

◼   ► you like that if you like the taste of

◼   ► chocolate espresso beans I would say

◼   ► that is the ice cream version of that

◼   ► almost two years you actually almost get

◼   ► a little bit of the grain from the bean

◼   ► in the chocolate you do yeah mmm that's

◼   ► a really nice detail good touch yeah the

◼   ► coffee toffee bar crunch oh my god why

◼   ► am i picking up the biggest pieces we

◼   ► used to eat a lot of these I would say I

◼   ► think they've developed better flavors

◼   ► now if you're looking for coffee flavor

◼   ► coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz is a better

◼   ► one yeah the coffee ice cream and this

◼   ► is a little bit mild it's very I'd say

◼   ► it's very weak yeah yeah it's much

◼   ► weaker and some of the toffee tastes a

◼   ► little bit

◼   ► honestly I would actually say the coffee

◼   ► coffee buzz-buzz it I actually like that

◼   ► enough that I might actually have that

◼   ► yeah I prefer coffee coffee buzz buzz

◼   ► over this coffee toffee bar crunch which

◼   ► I thought would have been the opposite

◼   ► me too

◼   ► but yeah I think now that are they

◼   ► actually using heath bar or they make

◼   ► their own bars now and they had to take

◼   ► the heath name off I'm guessing it's the

◼   ► latter that's probably why they change

◼   ► the name because I could be totally

◼   ► wrong and in a blind taste test I can

◼   ► completely fail just like the everything

◼   ► they did the big big just like the egg

◼   ► bagel situation but I'm feeling like

◼   ► that the heath bar one tasted a lot

◼   ► better yeah yeah I'm not really into

◼   ► that one I'm I think I'm gonna try the

◼   ► toffee bar I'm just gonna bite it go for

◼   ► it

◼   ► yeah it has kind of a weird flavor to it

◼   ► you should bite it too

◼   ► it actually kind of tastes a little bit

◼   ► stale I wonder if this is just not a

◼   ► good pint I don't know I think it was

◼   ► pretty much always that way I think it's

◼   ► similar in consistency and Tony I just

◼   ► don't like it anymore I think I might

◼   ► not like anymore

◼   ► Wow what's happening to us yeah the

◼   ► coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz is a much

◼   ► better coffee flavor yeah it's like the

◼   ► coffee buzz one is it has enough of like

◼   ► the savory parts of coffee flavoring

◼   ► that I actually enjoy it

◼   ► as compared to most coffee

◼   ► esterification as I mentioned I find I

◼   ► find too sweet and milky this one

◼   ► actually balances it pretty well yep I

◼   ► agree

◼   ► alright final group coming up oh we're

◼   ► gonna need some water here some water Oh

◼   ► one-way Water Street it's cold man do we

◼   ► have enough spoons to keep going

◼   ► alright we have the final group here

◼   ► which we are lovingly calling the whole

◼   ► bunch of crap group these are the ones

◼   ► where the description of what is in the

◼   ► containers are it barely fits on the top

◼   ► of the lid they usually have to wrap it

◼   ► to three lines on the bottom and it's oh

◼   ► you should call it the description three

◼   ► lines or more group this is basically

◼   ► the group that can be best described as

◼   ► ice cream full of candy and stuff like

◼   ► hey it's not it's just like up a whole

◼   ► bunch of candy a side of ice cream

◼   ► alright you want to read off what we

◼   ► have here all right so all right we have

◼   ► fish food we have the tonight dough

◼   ► every

◼   ► but the Chubby Hubby new york super

◼   ► fudge chunk and american dream and our

◼   ► cone dream oh I'm sorry I couldn't see

◼   ► the e from here there's so many ice

◼   ► creams alright it was probably a poor

◼   ► decision to see these four last cuz I'm

◼   ► already pretty full oh this is a bad

◼   ► idea we should have we should have

◼   ► closed with the simple stuff like palate

◼   ► cleansers like I can really go for some

◼   ► nice cream this is we made a huge

◼   ► mistake alright well I think I need to

◼   ► start out with fish food because I'm the

◼   ► fish fan of the family even though I

◼   ► almost never buy this because again I'm

◼   ► not that big of a fan of chocolate ice

◼   ► cream what that's pretty chocolatey

◼   ► what's that business book where you're

◼   ► supposed to eat the eat the frog first

◼   ► or something yeah that's that I'm pretty

◼   ► sure that's it yeah frog first yeah

◼   ► whatever should have we should have

◼   ► eaten the fish food first because it's a

◼   ► really dense let me see

◼   ► alright fish food is chocolate ice cream

◼   ► with gooey marshmallows swirls caramel

◼   ► swirls and fudge fish which is super fun

◼   ► why wouldn't you like I like when

◼   ► there's animal shapes in my ice cream

◼   ► yeah the fudge fish I would say are the

◼   ► highlight of this flavor oh and of

◼   ► course marshmallow so BAM you you had me

◼   ► at marshmallow but other than that

◼   ► though I would say it doesn't do much

◼   ► for me I feel like I think this is one

◼   ► of those flavors that Ben and Jerry's

◼   ► this is a very old flavor I think Ben

◼   ► and Jerry's has gotten better more

◼   ► sophisticated and they're in their newer

◼   ► efforts so along with the coffee toffee

◼   ► bar crunch I would say this is kind of

◼   ► almost a little bit boring now and I

◼   ► don't know maybe maybe if I like

◼   ► chocolate ice cream more I would like it

◼   ► more but to me the only reason to eat

◼   ► this is the fudge fish which are

◼   ► delicious but the rest of it doesn't do

◼   ► much for me okay I really like this

◼   ► because I like the marshmallow and I

◼   ► like the caramel swirl I think it's

◼   ► really good they have just condensation

◼   ► and I like the fun little fish and it's

◼   ► fish food like pH like Marco likes and

◼   ► tortures everyone with so I'm super into

◼   ► this I like it it's a classic flavor it

◼   ► reminds me of some original Ben and

◼   ► Jerry's good eats and I'm really happy

◼   ► with fish food really among their

◼   ► classic well known flavors I would say

◼   ► one of the one of the ones that holds

◼   ► the best is your favorite the sherry

◼   ► Garcia

◼   ► very well well yeah even though the fish

◼   ► is better than Grateful Dead come at me

◼   ► because I

◼   ► about me I mean I have really good taste

◼   ► though but do you have to try the New

◼   ► York super fudge chunk next this is

◼   ► chocolate ice cream with white and dark

◼   ► fudge chunks pecans walnuts and fudge

◼   ► colored covered almonds I'm least

◼   ► favorite I'm least excited about this

◼   ► one because we are not big fans of

◼   ► pecans or walnuts so this could be

◼   ► interesting but I'm honestly I be

◼   ► surprised if I was trying enough of it

◼   ► to actually get a big nut chunk here

◼   ► I'll try to get one here I mean you have

◼   ► to get the nut chunk this whole point of

◼   ► this we really should have not eaten

◼   ► these last that's just a piece of

◼   ► chocolate the round ones are the nuts oh

◼   ► here's a piece of another nut oh it's

◼   ► just oh there's so much there's so much

◼   ► stuff a white chocolate there's white

◼   ► chocolate white and dark chocolate fudge

◼   ► chunks yeah there's a lot going on in

◼   ► there

◼   ► I actually do like it I thought I

◼   ► wouldn't because of all the nuts I

◼   ► actually do like it but I wouldn't

◼   ► choose it over other flavors you chew

◼   ► this ice cream more than anything

◼   ► yes it's very chunky this is a chewing

◼   ► ice cream a lot I'm still chewing this

◼   ► ice cream what part of it is New York

◼   ► I'm still chewing it is it just the fact

◼   ► that we eat it in New York or what um

◼   ► let's see okay it says it right here on

◼   ► the pipe in 1985 to make a name for

◼   ► ourselves in New York we picked a New

◼   ► York kind of name and wait there's

◼   ► freezer burn and created a flavor packed

◼   ► with more kinds of chunks than ever

◼   ► before we figured if the flavor was

◼   ► euphoric in New York it would be

◼   ► everywhere oh I'm not feeling so good

◼   ► I'm moving on to the tonight dough the

◼   ► Jimmy Fallon flavor this is caramel and

◼   ► chocolate ice creams with chocolate

◼   ► cookie swirls and gobs of chocolate chip

◼   ► cookie dough and peanut butter cookie

◼   ► dough so this is kind of amazing this

◼   ► category is like what can we like

◼   ► legally get it like what is the most

◼   ► crap you can legally put in a pint of

◼   ► ice cream this is like watching one of

◼   ► those little tasty videos that are all

◼   ► over Instagram and Facebook where they

◼   ► just pour in a whole bunch of candy and

◼   ► chocolate and mix it around with some

◼   ► other chocolate and stuff and then say

◼   ► like Tuesday all right tonight dough

◼   ► I like it really I I'm not sure again

◼   ► it's one of those things like I like it

◼   ► I'm not sure I would remember it like

◼   ► tomorrow but but I like it it's good

◼   ► okay what this has going for it is it

◼   ► has instead of vanilla ice cream it does

◼   ► have caramel ice cream instead of the

◼   ► chocolate ice cream right this week it's

◼   ► chocolate and vanilla mm-hmm but you

◼   ► don't feel like you're eating like a big

◼   ► dollop of like full of caramel and but

◼   ► you know like that yeah yeah yeah

◼   ► gooeyness so it's still more ice cream

◼   ► flavored wait what else is in here

◼   ► everything there's there's chocolate and

◼   ► peanut butter cookie dough and chocolate

◼   ► and vanilla ice cream and gobs of

◼   ► chocolate it's okay it has a lot of

◼   ► stuff in it but it's not a chewing ice

◼   ► cream it's very smooth or blend mm-hmm

◼   ► it has more the grainy elements to it

◼   ► because of the cookie dough bits but

◼   ► it's more dispersed throughout yeah so

◼   ► it's much more pleasant to eat than

◼   ► something like super fudge chunk so if

◼   ► you like to chew your ice cream which I

◼   ► don't

◼   ► New York super fudge changes for you if

◼   ► you like more smooth ice cream with a

◼   ► whole bunch of stuff the tonight dough

◼   ► is a really good choice oh my god how

◼   ► many left three so obviously after doing

◼   ► the Jimmy Fallon flavor I think we need

◼   ► to do the late-night themed continuation

◼   ► and go with the Stephen Colbert flavor

◼   ► called Americone dream this is vanilla

◼   ► ice cream with fudge covered waffle cone

◼   ► pieces and a caramel swirl I'm excited

◼   ► about the cone bit

◼   ► all right so finally it's not just

◼   ► chocolate ice cream pretty much

◼   ► something guess lighter I don't know the

◼   ► comb bits are good but it's slightly

◼   ► soggy like I feel like some of the

◼   ► potential of them is a little bit lost

◼   ► but overall very good I like that yeah

◼   ► that I would say I like the Chilean

◼   ► Colbert wins the late-night Wars whoa

◼   ► really you know I've never seen either

◼   ► show what yes you have we watch clips

◼   ► all the time from YouTube clips don't

◼   ► count all right I like this I like the

◼   ► slightly soggy slightly crunchiness of

◼   ► the cone I think it's a really good

◼   ► balance it's it's it's not a their stuff

◼   ► in it but it's not a heavy to ice cream

◼   ► there are pieces but they're small like

◼   ► it isn't you don't

◼   ► like excavate them out you did like you

◼   ► do with some of the big chunks of the

◼   ► other flavors I like that yeah that's

◼   ► very nice I think I like that more than

◼   ► fish food oh no poor fish food well then

◼   ► I got to write this down okay

◼   ► we're just oh there's so much sticky in

◼   ► here okay as you write down I'm going to

◼   ► move on okay hey so I'm gonna try now

◼   ► the everything but the dot dot and

◼   ► flavor so it's arrived as this is a four

◼   ► liner it's described as a collision of

◼   ► chocolate and vanilla ice creams with

◼   ► peanut butter cups fudge-covered toffee

◼   ► pieces white chocolate chunks and fudge

◼   ► covered almonds it is four lines of

◼   ► description yes is a four liner there is

◼   ► a I'm actually kind of worried I'm not

◼   ► going to get every element in my tasting

◼   ► spoon phone charm everything but so I

◼   ► guess it should have the most lines of

◼   ► content maybe chewiness till tomorrow I

◼   ► haven't found anything mine the top

◼   ► layers all ice cream you dug it out that

◼   ► that is similar in chunkiness to New

◼   ► York super fudge chunk oh they're like

◼   ► chewing a lot

◼   ► I had to excavate and I found it a chunk

◼   ► cavern there's a lot going on there it's

◼   ► good but I it almost seems like I mean I

◼   ► know you know the name like everything

◼   ► but the it almost seems like it could

◼   ► use some editing like it's hard to like

◼   ► focus on any one part of it mm-hmm yeah

◼   ► this is definitely for the person that

◼   ► can't decide what kind of ice cream they

◼   ► want and they just want it all in one

◼   ► bite yeah I don't really like it yeah I

◼   ► mean it's too much yeah I'm not reading

◼   ► yep all right and then the last one that

◼   ► we have to try today is Chubby Hubby

◼   ► which is ironic as me eating it so I am

◼   ► eating my wonderful ice cream here

◼   ► Chubby Hubby it is vanilla malta

◼   ► flavored ice cream which I tend to like

◼   ► with peanutty fudge covered pretzels

◼   ► with fudge and peanut butter swirls this

◼   ► is one of the few ice creams left in the

◼   ► lion that has peanut butter swirl in it

◼   ► which I always appreciate let me try go

◼   ► try to get a pretzel piece here but

◼   ► they're a little hard to get these ice

◼   ► creams are looking quite ravaged as we

◼   ► try to dig out all the flavors

◼   ► to give you the listener and accurate

◼   ► representation of what we're actually

◼   ► eating here oh my goodness

◼   ► see I liked Chubby Hubby a lot but it's

◼   ► I wouldn't I'm not sure it makes my top

◼   ► four it's really good yeah I agree with

◼   ► you I like the I like the peanut butter

◼   ► swirl the pretzel the large pretzel

◼   ► pieces first off I wish they were

◼   ► smaller and and whenever we buy this

◼   ► sometimes and whenever I bought it I've

◼   ► had very inconsistent results with

◼   ► whether the pretzels are crunchy or kind

◼   ► of mushy - empty okay yeah good science

◼   ► there yeah so like when the pretzels are

◼   ► good it's good

◼   ► oh they have the crunch level on eight

◼   ► yeah yes this is this is a good point

◼   ► that we got here eight to nine really I

◼   ► do like Chubby Hubby a lot but I'd say

◼   ► out of this group honestly I think

◼   ► Americone dream out class is it the cow

◼   ► on the pint is sitting in a lazy boy

◼   ► with a remote and it is it is nice that

◼   ► they have that malt flavor ice cream

◼   ► even I know you weren't a big fan of

◼   ► malt but you can barely taste it with

◼   ► all that stuff going on though I've

◼   ► tasted quite a bit but it's it's nice to

◼   ► have it to have like a difference like

◼   ► it isn't just vanilla or chocolate with

◼   ► salt in it okay the pretzel is really

◼   ► salty oh my goodness I'm the predominant

◼   ► flavor in my mouth right now is salt

◼   ► spoonful of ice cream well the solution

◼   ► you eat more ice cream there we call not

◼   ► chunk chubby happy Chubby Hubby sorry

◼   ► because the pretzel pieces are so big

◼   ► you don't really get them very often so

◼   ► it is kind of nice that it's special

◼   ► when you do get one but it's it the

◼   ► whole rest of the ice cream is kind of

◼   ► now my void of them I feel like I might

◼   ► as well just dipped a tortilla chip in

◼   ► there and makes it like dip can I have

◼   ► some water yeah well over it's over

◼   ► season all right so that is the end of

◼   ► the whole bunch of crap group okay I

◼   ► need to take a picture of this and then

◼   ► I want to take a moment to deliberate so

◼   ► I think you should play a little bit of

◼   ► deliberation music which I think should

◼   ► be fish

◼   ► honestly they have a song about ice

◼   ► cream or stomachaches

◼   ► be more fun in love in the skyline baby

◼   ► I scream snooze

◼   ► what I think is the most surprising of

◼   ► all of these taste testings with them

◼   ► right back to back with each other cuz

◼   ► usually when you go out and you buy a

◼   ► pint of ice cream you buy one right you

◼   ► just kind of like pick the flavor and

◼   ► you're happy with it and pitting them up

◼   ► against each other I'm really surprised

◼   ► how little difference there is between a

◼   ► lot of them yeah and again they're all

◼   ► good ice creams Markus so don't worry

◼   ► who we really do like Ben and Jerry's

◼   ► we love them as a company and we like

◼   ► all their cool flavors but oh I feel out

◼   ► of breath eating all of this ice cream

◼   ► and there are chocolate fingerprints all

◼   ► over most of our kitchen so sorry about

◼   ► that I'm actually having a hard time in

◼   ► my deliberations I'm ranking these

◼   ► because like if they still made the

◼   ► cluster fluff flavor that would be my

◼   ► number one no questions but they they

◼   ► currently do not make a very good peanut

◼   ► butter flavor like they just missing

◼   ► from the lineup right now I hope they

◼   ► resolved that soon they have a few that

◼   ► are okay like peanut butter cup is great

◼   ► a for you know for peanut butter ice

◼   ► cream lovers like me but it is but the

◼   ► other peanut butter like whenever they

◼   ► had another peanut butter option it was

◼   ► always better than peanut butter comes

◼   ► mm-hmm so I am kind of disappointed in

◼   ► the lack of that slot being very well

◼   ► filled right now I would say the among

◼   ► the basic flavors pistachio still stands

◼   ► out as a really good one Cherry Garcia

◼   ► also still really holds up as adversely

◼   ► yeah

◼   ► many of the new flavors are excellent

◼   ► the cake ones I think the cake group had

◼   ► by far the strongest showing this year

◼   ► oh yeah I was most I was most excited

◼   ► for the cookie group and I was most

◼   ► disappointed by them they really let me

◼   ► down but the cake the fruit and nuts

◼   ► group was uh was really great I liked it

◼   ► a lot fruit fruit nuts and cake is that

◼   ► what we're calling it something like

◼   ► that yeah and Ellie I saw them like the

◼   ► red velvet cake

◼   ► we would never have bought that if not

◼   ► for doing this test and it was one of

◼   ► the very last ones we bought we thought

◼   ► we're like do we really need that yeah

◼   ► we weren't we looked at the list before

◼   ► we went to the store and I immediately

◼   ► dismissed

◼   ► red velvet because I was like you know

◼   ► what red velvet cake is a lie so I'm not

◼   ► even going to want my ice cream and then

◼   ► lo and behold it is delicious because

◼   ► you know what it's not just chocolate

◼   ► cake in the ice cream like I said before

◼   ► it is it's more of like a pink cake

◼   ► piece than anything else all right you

◼   ► ready to do the rankings you still

◼   ► deliberating oh I have some honorable

◼   ► mentions yeah I think I'm ready because

◼   ► I'm gonna go with my gut in like what my

◼   ► classic flavors are that I really like

◼   ► in addition to what we've gone through

◼   ► tasting and I hope that well I'm sure

◼   ► that it's affecting me a little bit and

◼   ► how full I feel right now and that I can

◼   ► imagine eating some of those really

◼   ► heavy ice creams but in general I'm not

◼   ► a heavy ice cream person so I think it's

◼   ► gonna be okay I I won't make too many

◼   ► mistakes in my ranking yeah so as of

◼   ► right now this is how we feel about Ben

◼   ► & Jerry's ice cream flavors and where

◼   ► they stand all right which way do you

◼   ► want to go from the bottom as usual okay

◼   ► honorable mentions first let's do it

◼   ► yeah

◼   ► all right honorable mention I'm gonna

◼   ► put coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz as my

◼   ► main honorable mention that is the very

◼   ► first one on my list is honorable

◼   ► mention really yeah yeah I really like I

◼   ► expect to like it as much as I did yeah

◼   ► I really like it has a great coffee

◼   ► flavor just like you said it tastes a

◼   ► lot like coffee with too much cream and

◼   ► sugar but sometimes I really do feel

◼   ► like a coffee ice cream especially like

◼   ► late in the afternoon if I haven't had

◼   ► my afternoon coffee yet a good off

◼   ► coffee ice cream feels like a nice

◼   ► substitute and also it tastes in my

◼   ► opinion it tastes the least like coffee

◼   ► with too much milk and sugar and

◼   ► compared to any other coffee ice cream

◼   ► I've ever had yeah because it has that

◼   ► really sharp flavor of the espresso

◼   ► beans yeah very strong savory flavor of

◼   ► that yes really bounce it out so yeah

◼   ► that's my honorable mention in my second

◼   ► honorable mention which was a surprise

◼   ► can well what's it called when someone

◼   ► just sneaks in I'm sure the subscribe to

◼   ► them for that yeah sports term for super

◼   ► fill-in-the-blank is red velvet for me

◼   ► so mm-hmm

◼   ► I would also put that up there is really

◼   ► good very good and and if not for the

◼   ► other cake flavors I might even be on my

◼   ► ranked list me too I'm really shocked

◼   ► but again I didn't put it on my ranked

◼   ► list because it was the first time I've

◼   ► had it and I feel like we haven't had a

◼   ► gut we haven't had a chance to bond yet

◼   ► yeah we need to get we need to get to

◼   ► know the red velvet cake better yeah I

◼   ► need to finish an entire pint first

◼   ► before I I can really put it on my list

◼   ► oh yeah definitely I would also say in

◼   ► the honorable mentions category for me

◼   ► would be Cherry Garcia aye I know you

◼   ► like it better than I do but I still do

◼   ► really like it I would say it it's

◼   ► better than because it's getting them

◼   ► this part of the list you know out of 24

◼   ► ice creams that we try I would say it is

◼   ► better than almost almost all the

◼   ► flavors honestly like overall

◼   ► and my final honorable mention is

◼   ► tonight dough I really like I really

◼   ► enjoyed that one yeah it was good it was

◼   ► okay I would I would actually say for

◼   ► that type of ice cream to kind of like

◼   ► blended with like cookies and vanilla in

◼   ► it I like milk and cookies better for

◼   ► that slot and that's milk cookies is on

◼   ► my honorable mention list for that

◼   ► reason see I feel like the milk and

◼   ► cookies yeah it was better but I feel

◼   ► like the tonight dough took those milk

◼   ► and cookie ones to another level and

◼   ► really amped it up you know a volume

◼   ► notch and I think I really like that and

◼   ► to me that says very much Ben and

◼   ► Jerry's like I'm getting a kind of a

◼   ► cookie and cream ice cream experience

◼   ► but with that Ben and Jerry twist and I

◼   ► feel like the tea the tonight dough

◼   ► gives it that extra level of twist that

◼   ► beats the other flavors fair enough all

◼   ► right all right number four number four

◼   ► for me is the American dream I really

◼   ► liked it

◼   ► for a stuff filled ice cream I thought

◼   ► it was very bunch of crap ice cream yeah

◼   ► for ice cream full of crap it was pretty

◼   ► great it had a nice balance I didn't

◼   ► feel like I was just eating gobs of

◼   ► things I felt like I could really

◼   ► distinguish the flavors and the textures

◼   ► from each other and I really enjoyed and

◼   ► appreciated that if I would even say we

◼   ► might have miscategorized it I thought

◼   ► it was going to be a whole bunch of crap

◼   ► ice cream but I would say it has roughly

◼   ► the same density of stuff in it then as

◼   ► things like

◼   ► like coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz with

◼   ► those fudge chunks or maybe like the the

◼   ► heath bar one or peanut butter cup well

◼   ► the coffee toffee also had a whole bunch

◼   ► of stuff so that's about the same levels

◼   ► America as the American dream right

◼   ► right right

◼   ► all right my number four is pistachio I

◼   ► was kind of you know giving her a hard

◼   ► time earlier but when I when I come back

◼   ► to it on it when I draw these flavors

◼   ► together I realize like it is it is

◼   ► frustrating how good pistachio is it

◼   ► shouldn't be as good as it is pistachio

◼   ► is my number three yeah it's like it's

◼   ► such a good like clean pure flavor and

◼   ► we've tried so many pistachio ice cream

◼   ► because they're usually really good and

◼   ► it's just a really good implementation

◼   ► well a lot of pistachio ice creams are

◼   ► died like bright green like a lot of bad

◼   ► mint ice creams and I feel like this

◼   ► particular pistachio it has a really

◼   ► crisp flavor that comes through very

◼   ► delicately and nicely it doesn't taste

◼   ► like if you have ever had instant

◼   ► pistachio pudding where that just tastes

◼   ► like a whole bunch of fake pistachio

◼   ► flavoring it just I don't know what's

◼   ► going on in that but it doesn't really

◼   ► taste like what a pistachio tastes like

◼   ► when you're eating it this ice cream

◼   ► tastes like a pistachio and it has full

◼   ► bright green pistachios in it but the

◼   ► ice cream itself is just a light it's

◼   ► almost morning with ice cream yeah so

◼   ► I'd I would say it even areas that it

◼   ► has an almost gelato like smoothness of

◼   ► the texture yeah it is a very very nice

◼   ► pleasant like refreshing ice cream yeah

◼   ► so pistachio my number four and your

◼   ► number three yeah all right my number

◼   ► three is peanut butter cup I say that

◼   ► reluctantly though because as I said

◼   ► earlier like if I wish they would bring

◼   ► back one of their better peanut butter

◼   ► flavors or replace them with with

◼   ► something you know of that caliber I do

◼   ► altima till really love peanut butter

◼   ► ice cream and peanut butter cup is a

◼   ► really good version of peanut butter ice

◼   ► cream I just wish it was cluster fluff

◼   ► again yeah I feel like the peanut butter

◼   ► cup didn't even make my list because I

◼   ► don't like peanut butter ice cream

◼   ► enough to ever get to ever buy it for

◼   ► myself

◼   ► I do enjoy stealing a spoonful or two of

◼   ► yours when you're eating it but for you

◼   ► oh you always take the big chunks well

◼   ► yeah and I was just going to say I

◼   ► really don't care for the big chunks of

◼   ► peanut butter cups in the ice cream

◼   ► because I feel like I'm like even there

◼   ► I'll take them I like them no I like

◼   ► them but I prefer swirl yeah as opposed

◼   ► to like let me chew this piece of ice

◼   ► cream yeah agreed

◼   ► I agree all right what was the see that

◼   ► was my number three yeah I'm gonna do my

◼   ► number two

◼   ► yeah what's your number two my number

◼   ► two is the strawberry cheesecake nice

◼   ► which is funny because I normally don't

◼   ► really like strawberries that much but

◼   ► what cheesecake

◼   ► I like cheesecake just fine but it's

◼   ► like cheesecake I make a good cheese I

◼   ► like cheesecake I oh yeah of course yeah

◼   ► it's like red sauce right my sauce you

◼   ► don't like other people's thoughts

◼   ► I'm so happy you sewed up that way all

◼   ► right I mean how else can you say it

◼   ► yeah anyway so I'm not a tremendous

◼   ► lover of strawberries or cheesecake but

◼   ► together in this ice cream it's really

◼   ► good and refreshing cuz a lot of times

◼   ► for me the reason I don't like a really

◼   ► full hearty chocolatey rich ice cream as

◼   ► I've mentioned before is I feel like ice

◼   ► cream should be refreshing and that's

◼   ► how when I eat ice cream I feel like I

◼   ► want to be cooled off and I want to be

◼   ► refreshed and those heavy flavors just

◼   ► don't do it for me so these lighter

◼   ► flavors really make me feel refreshed

◼   ► and I'm tasting something delicious and

◼   ► light and creamy some strawberry

◼   ► cheesecake

◼   ► great job Ben Jerry my number two is

◼   ► Americone dream this is a good thing

◼   ► that we're getting a very similar list

◼   ► here yeah now you can narrow down your

◼   ► shopping list by a lot yeah I mean yeah

◼   ► marek own dream is I think I've only had

◼   ► it maybe once before if ever cuz I

◼   ► always just assumed like it'd be fine

◼   ► but I think it would be that great it's

◼   ► great like it's it's one of those things

◼   ► that it's it is as we said many we're

◼   ► talking about like it's it's simpler

◼   ► than I thought it would be and it's

◼   ► almost deceptively simple but when I

◼   ► think about like if for some reason I

◼   ► ever wanted to eat ice cream again like

◼   ► right now and feeling like I don't but

◼   ► if I everyone eating ice cream again

◼   ► that is the one I would that is really

◼   ► high in the list of what I would go to

◼   ► first which is why it's my number two

◼   ► look she makes total sense that's pretty

◼   ► great because we've never really gotten

◼   ► that one before we have it and now we

◼   ► will cool along with red velvet I think

◼   ► yeah bread cheesecake probably no we've

◼   ► gotten strawberry cheesecake we've

◼   ► forgotten the red valves right we still

◼   ► to bond with it right yeah I feel like

◼   ► we do need a bonding session but maybe

◼   ► like a week and a half from now yes not

◼   ► not today or tomorrow all right you're

◼   ► number one it's holding strong Cherry

◼   ► Garcia Froyo still love you babe you are

◼   ► my fav so yep Cherry Garcia Froyo it is

◼   ► always my go-to I let it taste summery

◼   ► to me cuz cherries come out in the

◼   ► summer it has a little bit of that light

◼   ► chocolate it doesn't have the heavy

◼   ► cream of regular ice cream it has that

◼   ► lighter Froyo flavor and I just love it

◼   ► thank you for existing you are my go-to

◼   ► you know I will always get a pint of

◼   ► this no matter what and I feel like I

◼   ► feel the way about that that you feel

◼   ► about the peanut butter ice creams which

◼   ► is I would never choose Cherry Garcia

◼   ► for myself but whenever you have it I

◼   ► will I will gladly take a few spoonfuls

◼   ► out of your out of your pint when we're

◼   ► on the couch together with our points

◼   ► when we were doing our research we were

◼   ► look we Ben Jerry's on their site has a

◼   ► list of like their top ten ice creams

◼   ► the most popular selling ones right yeah

◼   ► and they did one from like two thousand

◼   ► six miles really pleased to see that

◼   ► Cherry Garcia the regular one but

◼   ► regardless was still up there for a big

◼   ► contender in the flavors because I feel

◼   ► like a lot of times it's very easily

◼   ► overlooked but I am happy to see that a

◼   ► lot of people in wherever they you know

◼   ► do their demographic testing are it's

◼   ► still super into Cherry Garcia so it's

◼   ► around to stay and my number one is

◼   ► strawberry cheesecake

◼   ► hey very surprised but about this I mean

◼   ► and and I will mention again to red

◼   ► velvet cake and also to the cinnamon bun

◼   ► one which I thought was among the same

◼   ► quality as these it was just didn't

◼   ► quite do it for me the way the other two

◼   ► did cinnamon what was a little too spicy

◼   ► for me because sometimes I don't I don't

◼   ► really those mulling spices they're

◼   ► they're a little too harsh on the tongue

◼   ► and I enjoyed cinnamon bun as we were

◼   ► tasting it but then if I got a really

◼   ► heavy cinnamon area

◼   ► it was a little too harsh that's fair

◼   ► yeah I mean I mean and I mean I'm only

◼   ► had the two spoons of it so maybe I will

◼   ► cheat my wine later but the strawberry

◼   ► cheesecake one I I bought my first pint

◼   ► of that and I think my only point so far

◼   ► before this a few weeks ago and I'm like

◼   ► that and it was like I was kind of like

◼   ► settling for it because the flavors that

◼   ► I really wanted weren't there and we

◼   ► ended up eating so much of that right

◼   ► were the very first spoonful I had I was

◼   ► like that's interesting and then like

◼   ► that was among the other flavors that we

◼   ► had in our rotation at the time that one

◼   ► was just gone the faster it was the

◼   ► first go to pipe like it was gone

◼   ► because you have one bite and you're

◼   ► like hmm interesting

◼   ► I want more of that and then you keep

◼   ► going and you keep digging around for

◼   ► the gram swirls which I love and again

◼   ► grams pearls are a very fast path to my

◼   ► heart and hopefully not to do some

◼   ► exercise yeah but yeah grams pearls are

◼   ► great the the Cheesecake flavor in

◼   ► general is great the strawberry is done

◼   ► very nicely very subtly overall just a

◼   ► great flavor and I would not again I

◼   ► would not say it's my number one

◼   ► Barringer's flavor I've ever had but it

◼   ► is my number one that's currently in

◼   ► production I also want to say so in

◼   ► terms of Ben and Jerry's here now that

◼   ► we've ranked are all of our flavors and

◼   ► we've talked extensively about how all

◼   ► these things taste when we sit on the

◼   ► couch and we enjoy a pint of Ben and

◼   ► Jerry's ice cream or really a pint of

◼   ► any ice cream which is the quantity in

◼   ► which we purchase ice cream of any sort

◼   ► any kind of frozen dessert we usually

◼   ► purchase it in the pint variety because

◼   ► they're nice to hold and sit on the

◼   ► couch with it takes us about three tv

◼   ► washing sessions to get through a pint

◼   ► unless it's a really good flavor that it

◼   ► might be two and a half but still that's

◼   ► pretty close to three I mean come on any

◼   ► right rounding up here I mean yeah I

◼   ► think it's it well it depends on who's

◼   ► sneaking spoonful from who and who

◼   ► brings the ice cream back to the kitchen

◼   ► and sneaked spoonfuls when they're in

◼   ► the kitchen and who has the better

◼   ► flavor yeah but it takes us around three

◼   ► sittings to finish a pilot switch it

◼   ► feels pretty reasonable I don't think

◼   ► it's having about a third of a pint

◼   ► which is more than the serving size I

◼   ► think but

◼   ► by a huge difference I don't think yeah

◼   ► yeah because I know pints it seems like

◼   ► you

◼   ► you

◼   ► you'd just devour them really quickly if

◼   ► you're not careful and it has happened

◼   ► but it takes a lot of self-control to

◼   ► make that last three settings yeah but

◼   ► you know we do and I'm curious how many

◼   ► how long it takes other people to finish

◼   ► a pint like if someone is there anyone

◼   ► out there who takes like five sittings

◼   ► to finish a pint because if so that

◼   ► that's I would say enjoy an ice-cream

◼   ► enough or maybe they're enjoying it just

◼   ► right I don't know there's different

◼   ► ways to enjoy ice-cream so that's true

◼   ► yeah I just want to put that out there I

◼   ► wanted to give everyone our base mine

◼   ► consumption rate yeah cuz I feel like

◼   ► that that's appropriate we're sounding

◼   ► like we you know just pop on out to the

◼   ► markets and buy 25 pints of ice cream on

◼   ► a normal day what are we gonna do with

◼   ► all this we're gonna put some friends

◼   ► over yeah we're gonna have an ice-cream

◼   ► party we're gonna have two employees and

◼   ► I see that we don't go to an ice cream

◼   ► social

◼   ► where oh yeah of course the serve ice

◼   ► cream to everyone that's perfect yeah I

◼   ► don't want to have ice cream any time

◼   ► soon we could put it out on the curb

◼   ► with a little sinuses free oh it looks

◼   ► so gross I could take pictures of it it

◼   ► would be art too is like like it I had a

◼   ► couple of friends who worked in ice

◼   ► cream stores in high school and like

◼   ► it's the kind of thing like ice cream is

◼   ► great when you have it like once every

◼   ► so often and not all the time and you're

◼   ► not working in it ice cream in mass is

◼   ► disgusting like the amount of stuff that

◼   ► goes into it that's unhealthy first of

◼   ► all and then like you know if you're

◼   ► like in an ice-cream shop like the

◼   ► you're trashed like having all that like

◼   ► melted ice cream in there like it it's

◼   ► sticky and it smells bad and it turns

◼   ► into B's immediately if it's outside

◼   ► like you're just taking out these bags

◼   ► of sticky B's like they just smell like

◼   ► rotten milk like ice cream is best enjoy

◼   ► it's some distance like I would not

◼   ► recommend anyone else do these flavor

◼   ► tests or work in an ice cream store

◼   ► however if you're gonna go buy some ice

◼   ► cream before some occasional enjoyment

◼   ► these are the best flavors to get yep

◼   ► thanks Ben and Jerry
