What is the best ice cream flavor?

Jun 2, 2012 8:10 PM

I just returned from an NCAA baseball game and the warm weather had me craving ice cream. I had a delicious bowl of rainbow sherbet (I know...not technically one flavor.... or ice cream). It really was delicious, cool and refreshing.

so what is it.....boring vanilla? rich chocolate? A Ben & Jerry conglomeration?

About 3-4 years ago I bought a few limited time flavors of mint chocolate chip ice cream with M&M's inside. It has long been gone, but every time I go past the ice cream isle, I always look for it still.

Mint chocolate chip. :)

Or rocky road. I just can't really stand any of the "plain" flavors. Chocolate, vanilla, etc...

So many to choose from.
Currently I'm enjoying chocolate cookies and cream by, I think Dryers. Chocolate ice cream with oreo-like cookies. I also like the chocolate version of Moose Tracks - chocolate ice cream, fudge swirl, mini peanut butter cups.
Baskin' Robbin's peanut butter and chocolate has always been a favorite of mine.

But it's hard to beat Blue Bell Homemade vanilla with Sanders Milk Chocolate Hot Fudge sauce and maybe a few sprinkles. Unfortunately Blue Bell and Sanders Hot Fudge are regional delicacies from different regions (Texas and Michigan respectively) so it takes some doing to put that combination together.

If it's store bought-- mint chocolate chip. Has to be the "green" mint chocolate chip, though, cause then the ice cream is minty, too, instead of vanilla ice cream with mint chocolate. I know, technicalities, but it MATTERS! Or the Girl Scout Samoas flavor. Mmmmm.

Homemade...my mom used to make peppermint ice cream. YUM. I think Edy's does a seasonal one that's peppermint, and it's pretty tasty, but not homemade tasty.

Frozen custard is dreamy good too...if you've never had it, you're seriously missing out!

Yes, please. I've never had a bad ice cream flavor. :)

So many to choose from, and only one lifetime to do it in. Best get to it! Current favorite flavors are cookie dough, and this yummy creamy swirly carmel in vanilla package Edy's puts together. Gosh, I could go through a hafl gallon in a night if I didn't stop myself. I do like a well made black raspberry, and the kind with cookies (preferably oreos) crumbled in. Almost anything with good hot fudge dripped over it will do it!

At one point in time, Edy's made a heavenly blueberry cheesecake swirl ice cream that I could not stop eating when we had it in our freezer.
I'm a fan of the ice cream made at the Penn State Creamery. ( http://creamery.psu.edu/products/ice-cream ) Their Peachy Paterno really tastes like fresh peaches and cream, and the Apple Cobbler Crunch is like eating apple pie and ice cream. ALL of their flavors are worth standing in line for. The mouth feel...oh, the mouth feel!

@pitamuffin: I just recently tried the Starbucks Java Chip and liked it alot. Haagen-Dazs coffee has a rich smoothness, but the chocolate in Starbucks is a nice treat.

@hobbitss: haha I gain weight thinking about it too...I currently have the single serve of Edy's "rich and dreamy" in a variety of flavors. They claim to be half the fat/calories per serving...that means I get to eat twice as much, right???

Swenson's Ice cream parlors: plain old Chocolate. Has a very unique chocolate flavor, and is almost pink instead of brown
Bud's ice cream of San Fran: French Chocolate. Same as above.
Baskin robins: World Class chocolate. Mix of white and milk chocolate.
Thrifty-store Ice cream (now found in many rite-aid stores): Chocolate chip. Vanilla ice cream with tons of small slivers of chocolate chips.

We have a few ice cream places nearby that make their own flavors. In the summer, I can never decide between the piña colada and the pineapple upside down cake flavors, so I usually get both. My buddy has been telling me I need to check out this other place. They have Chocolate Stout ice cream made with chocolate stout from one of the local breweries as well as Brown Sugar, Whiskey and Bacon.

sandwich...ice cream sandwich. I wanted to put chocolate chip cookie dough or reese's© from dryer's, but my Android has a pen-gun on me and has somehow managed to adorn a suave tuxedo and threatened me if I didn't write that...it's almost as if it's some sort of international spy or something....

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
