i scream, you scream...

A friend told me that Ben & Jerry's once had a flavor of ice cream called "Cop Stop" -- coffee flavored ice cream with bits of ... donut. Hahahaha.

Said friend's wife informs us that, if you are in Austin, Texas, you can get Guinness ice cream here.

The other day Megan and I went to Cassava Bubble Tea, which had a sign that said "Get some buns to go with those balls!"

Ben & Jerry's has a "Flavor Graveyard" where one can go to see headstones with witty epithets of all the retired Ben & Jerry ice creams. You can check it out at:

I remember having seen a list somewhere of stupid flavor submissions Ben & Jerry rejected. (Perhaps one can Google if he or she is really interested.) I don't remember all of them, but a handful of the "truly terrible" includes:

LOTSA MATZO - a milk chocolate Kosher ice cream with, of course, no meat, but flecks of matzo thrown in for good measure (and served in a plastic yarmulke, instead of one of those "team helmets" my brother and I used to collect in the summers as kids?)

J-LO SHOT - watermelon-flavored sorbet with a kick of vodka

HAVARTING A PARTY - Cheese-flavored ice cream guaranteed to piss of Moslems? 'Nuff said!

BANANAS FOSTER'S - Not the traditional New Orleans favorite made famous by Lally Brennan, as might be expected (i.e., vanilla and banana ice cream with, say, pecans and caramel, if not the booze). No, this concoction was supposed to have been a mixture of bananas and beer.

FREEZER BURN - Ice cream described by its "inventor" as tasting like the freezer burn was mixed right in "so you won't be disappointed".
