Top Four 29: Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Flavors
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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

►

◼
►
you're gonna regret that in about 20
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
very well well yeah even though the fish
◼
►
is better than Grateful Dead come at me
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
honestly they have a song about ice
◼
►
cream or stomachaches
◼
►
be more fun in love in the skyline baby
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
I agree all right what was the see that
◼
►
was my number three yeah I'm gonna do my
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
◼
►
by a huge difference I don't think yeah
◼
►
yeah because I know pints it seems like
◼
►
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
◼
►
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
