Rate it on a scale of 1-10 plz.
We need to work on rating the entire B&J product line here at GetBig

I would say it's a solid 8 and if you are craving mocha-type ice cream like i was it will be closer to a 10...I was thinking about getting a traditional phish food which is what i always get (chocolate, marshmallow +caramel swirls and fudge fishes lol) but once i saw this i had to try it...didn't disappoint

i didnt like any of the 'cores' that much... i think i tried them all except for the pb fudge one (ironically, i wanted to try that one most). think the speculoos one was my favorite.

try the 'tonight dough', it's awesome.

also don't know if they have tillamook where you are, but that's my favorite of the non-premium brands.

Just FYI if you are on a diet I suggest halo top (240 calories per PINT) or Arctic zero (150 calories per PINT) not as good as regular ice cream it it will help with cravings and you can get either or those at whole foods

I went to Amsterdam the last week of November in 2005...I was staying in a studio with a kitchen...So I went to the local grocery store (Albert Heijn)...They had Ben And Jerry's...As an aside, going to a Dutch grocery store is all kinds of fun.

They can get too cute with cores and cookies. After awhile it stops being ice cream.

What makes Half Baked so good is simply the vanilla/chocolate mix.

Now, this is a thread we can be proud of, and, if you're ever in upstate NY:

Tried this gelato this weekend.
Highlights: Little crunchy pieces, caramel not too sticky, did not sit heavy on stomach

Overall: 7 out of 10, do not go out of your way to buy

Tried Chunky Monkey over the weekend. The Banana Ice Cream was very good; however, the walnuts didn't do anything for me. If I want nuts, I'll buy a bag. I don't need them in ice cream. The fudge chunks were oversized, and, because of the cold, extremely hard. I felt that if I bit into one the wrong way, a trip to the dentist would ensue. IMO, softer fillings, like cookie dough and brownies, work better.

Rating: 6/10.

I tried half baked on Sunday
Thought it was ok
Tasted like chocolate ice cream with a lil bit of cookie dough in it
Wouldn't get again
Kinda dissapointing

For when you want to have something sweet but not cheat. I will top it with 1tb of chunky peanut butter and some cool whip. Tastes just as good or better than regular ice cream.

With chunky peanut butter ? really, are you 8 ? you are creating some loud farts there .

Dammit!!!! I had that shit in my hand too!

I can only assume a lot of these Ben and Jerry's flavors only exist on the east coast because I've never seen them in grocery stores out here. One to stay away from is the haagen daz spiced pecan turtle

The little turtle chunks have so much clove and ginger it just takes over and burns the back of your throat. I'm not a fan of cloves and ginger so I hated it but if you are then you might like this.

The best HD flavor is the Belgium chocolate. Shit is heavenly.

Will be making a trip to Baskin Robbins this afternoon since it is one block from my apartment.
I've been seeing the advertisements for this Halloween Ice Cream:

"Trick OREO® Treat Ice Cream:
Ready for a scary good creation? Vanilla flavored ice cream packed with orange crème filled OREO® cookies, Baby Ruth® and Butterfinger® candy pieces. It’s terrifyingly delicious!"

All ice cream is good ice cream, it's fucking ice cream you fucking idiots.

Errrr... no. Not all flavorings taste that good, and some ice creams are way too sweet.
Buy the cheapest one with flavoring x and buy a quality one like Häagen Dazs, B&J, etc with the same flavoring, and then compare their tastings.

I used to work near a Baskin & Robbins and sampled a few flavors. The ones I liked were Rocky Road and Jamoca Almond Fudge.
