The End

Today was the last day of the ben and jerry's challenge!

Overall we decided that the Ben and Jerry's flavors were fun and really connected with kids, considering all of the fun names and ingredients. This also had to do with the fact that Ben and Jerry were hippies. We personally chose our favorite flavors by how they tasted to us, and how the titles caught our eye.

It was a really fun experience, and even though we almost didn't find one of the flavors (mission to marzipan) we were really determined to finish the challenge. We went to many places just to find that they didn't carry the flavor, but we kept looking, and it was totally worth it.

We just wanted to thank everyone who viewed our blog, everyone who became a follower, and everyone who sponsored ice cream flavors. We also wanted to thank our friends, family, and teachers for being so supportive.

Thanks!!!

"When Your Dreaming With A Broken Heart" - John Mayer

This is it! Chunky Monkey ice cream is banana ice cream with chocolate chips and walnuts. This ice cream has a special meaning to us, because we eat it whenever we are upset. This sentimental value, is why we saved it for last. It is our all time favorite, and we absolutely love it. The ice cream makes you feel better when you are sad, so no matter what has happened the ice cream never fails to put a smile on your face. Each bite is amazing, and even if you don't love bananas (like Brooke) everything blends together so well. It is truly delicious. For all of this, it 100% deserves a 10. We are sad to announce that it is our last ice cream but it really is "the best of what's around!"

*** stay tuned guys, there is more overall ratings, and another blog soon!

Mission to Whole Foods

Mission to Marzipan ice cream is sweet cream ice cream with almond cookie chunks and a marzipan swirl. We would just like all of you to know, that getting this ice cream was extremely difficult. It is relatively new, and is sold almost no where. We called multiple places, and visited multiple places before finding this ice cream. Well, was it worth all of it's trouble? Yes and no. Yes, because of course it was worth it to complete the challenge. No, however, because the ice cream itself was not amazing. It was at first overwhelming, and as Frannie Oppenheimer said, "you have to get used to it, but once you do she really liked it." Frannie believes it deserves an eight. We however, did not give it as much of a chance, and don't think the ice cream is that good. After the first bite, we were completely turned off. Overall, if you give it a chance it "gets better."

**Thank you Ms. Abbruscatto and Mr. Bailey for all your support in helping us find this flavor, and just in general

Nothin' Like A Campfire

S'mores ice cream is chocolate ice cream with fudge chunks, toasted marshmallows, and a graham cracker swirl. This ice cream was really good. Sydney Goldberger sponsored it, and she loved it. Emily said, "the graham crackers would have been gross and soggy, however they were not as bad as I thought. Also, the marshmallows looked unappealing but they tasted good." Brooke totally agrees. However, the ice cream does not resemble s'mores very well. Overall, the ice cream sounds and looks a lot worse than it tastes - you should give it a try! "Don't think twice it's alright!"

VANILLA BABY!

Chocolate ice cream is chocolate fair trade ice cream. Man, it was yucky. We both agree that this flavor was disgusting. It was unappetizing, and not even decent. We can both deal with chocolate based ice cream with stuff in it but this was gross. "I've had chocolate ice cream before, even though i don't like it, but this was simply terrible" claims Brooke. Emily truly just despised it. We couldn't wait till it was time to "say goodbye!"

Turtle Soup is vanilla ice cream with fudge and carmel cashews and a carmel swirl. Leah Solomon thought that, "it was a good blend of textures. There was crunchy nuts, a soft swirl, and the consistency of the ice cream." In keeping with that, Brooke thought it was amazing. "The nuts tasted great, and i loved the carmel swirl." Emily however thought that the ice cream was "bland, and there is really nothing special about it." Overall, it was a good flavor and left us with "positive vibrations."

How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You

Hannah Teter's Maple Blondie ice cream is maple ice cream with blondie chunks and a maple carmel swirl. Emily, and many other people found the ice cream to be delicious. Natalie thought that, "it was amazing but the carmel swirls made it too sweet." Audrey, "loved it!" and Emily "enjoyed it" and said she "would definitely buy it at home." So this sugary blend, went over well with most people however many people did acknowledge that it was too sweet. Emily believes that it deserves an 8. However, Brooke thought it was only decent. According to her, the first bite was overwhelmingly sweet and the blondie chunks were disgusting. "I literally avoided them when trying to eat the ice cream." But admittedly, she does not like blondies. Brooke thinks the ice cream deserves a 5. Democracy rules, this ice cream gave us "positive vibrations!"

Swirl n Nuts

Chocolate Macadamia Ice Cream is chocolate and vanilla ice creams with fudge covered macadamia nuts. Many people liked the swirl of ice creams even though it was basic, while they also felt that the fudge covered macadamia nuts were a little awkward tasting but not that bad. Caitlin Merrell was very enthusiastic about the ice cream while many people were not, and she loved it. Overall, this would not be a number one seller according to the many people that tasted it, however, “don’t think twice it’s alright”.

"Magic" Brownies

Magic Brownies ice cream is black raspberry ice cream blended with sweet cream ice cream and brownie chunks. If ten people had it, two people liked it. Legitimately. According to Gabrielle Bausano, "i like black raspberry ice cream, usually, but this is not good." Also, Scott Wade declared "this belongs in the category of brussels sprout ice cream!" We definitely agree. However the brownie chunks were really good, just not the surrounding ice cream. Cora Vasserman, who sponsored the ice cream, and we are almost sure that is the only reason she liked it, wanted to make sure that everyone knew she enjoyed it, as well as Audrey Ellen. They both believe that it deserves a ten. However, the yucky blend of ice cream is really just far from it. It can only "get better."

**Thanks Cora for sponsoring! You're the best :)

"We Want You To Be Happy, 'Cause This Is Your Song Too" - Joy ; Phish

Phish food ice cream is chocolate ice cream with caramel and marshmallow swirl, with chocolate phish chunks. While it is not necessarily a flavor we would purchase, it was delicious. For the people who do not love marshmallows, they still enjoyed this flavor. And even those, like ourselves, who prefer vanilla were still wowed. While this is not a favorite, considering, it was very good. Obviously, we would have preferred it be vanilla based... but it was still pretty good. Overall, we were left with "postive vibrations!"

Wake Up San Francisco! (Triple 9)

Coffee Heath Bar Crunch is coffee ice cream with chunks of heath bar. This was a good wake up call, however many people felt that the coffee ice cream was a little too strong for their taste, especially Natalie Burlant. Brooke Yalof on the other hand thought that the ice cream was amazing and it deserved a 10, but the majority thought that it deserved an 8 or a 9. When you got a bite without the heath bar the ice cream was definitely refreshing and delicious, especially if you like coffee, but when you got a bite with the heath bar it was even better. If you don't like coffee give vanilla heath bar crunch a try. This ice cream was totally "knockin' on heavens door".

Triple Ten

Triple Carmel Chunk is carmel ice cream with a carmel swirl and chocolate covered carmel pieces. This is an amazing ice cream flavor, especially because we love carmel so much. Olivia Sahlman thought that the "chocolate covered carmel pieces were fantastic," however based on appearance she thought they were Reese's. Emily thought "this was the best ice cream i have ever had in my life!" It exceeded all expectations, and the carmel swirl melted in your mouth. Brooke said, "this ice cream is delicious!" This ice cream is "the best of what's around!"

Chocolate Addiction

Chocolate Fudge Brownie is chocolate ice cream with fudge brownie pieces. This ice cream was very good, and while it was all chocolate and we are not the biggest fans we still liked it. The fudge brownie pieces were killer, and there were enough so that every bite tasted like them. Emily thought that, "so many Ben and Jerry's chocolate ice cream flavors convinced me to like chocolate, but this one did not as much." However, brooke found the ice cream to be pretty good. Overall, we felt the "positive vibrations!"

Just Another Cheesecake...

Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream is strawberry cheesecake ice cream with strawberry chunks and graham cracker pieces. When eating the ice cream, it tastes fine - just like strawberry ice cream, but a little creamier. However, the after taste was atrocious. We were chugging orange juice to get the taste out of our mouthes. Also, similarly to the cheesecake brownie flavor, we don't like cheese - so our mindset was not as positive as it could have been. We couldn't wait to "say goodbye" to this ice cream.

Fudgey Vanilla

Vanilla Caramel Fudge Ice Cream is "Vanilla Ice Cream with Swirls of Caramel and Fudge". This ice cream was delicious and there was either a swirl of caramel or fudge in every bite, which made the ice cream complete. Some people felt however that there was not enough caramel. Overall this ice cream was very satisfying and in the end we were "feelin' groovy".

"Imagine All The People Living For Today" - John Lennon

Imagine Whirled Peace (dedicated to John Lennon *r.i.p*, woo!) is sweet cream and carmel ice cream swirled, and fudge peace sign chunks and toffee cookie pieces. Natalie Burlant likes the ice cream but thinks that it is very grainy, similar to Fossil Fuel which is why we are suspecting that the deli freezes it weirdly. (The graininess of Ben and Jerry's ice cream has never bothered us before.) That being said, we have had this flavor multiple times before and loved it. It has been so delicious in the past, so we are giving our dear friends Ben and Jerry the benefit of the doubt. Based on the ice cream we ate today, it's probably a seven. But based on previous experiences, it is leaning more toward a nine. So, the ice cream left us "feelin' groovy."

"D-i-n-o-s-a you are a dinosaur" - Kesha

Fossil Fuel Ice Cream is sweet cream ice cream with fudge chunks, swirls, dinosaur chocolate chips and cookie bites. Sydney Goldberger "loved" this ice cream and believes it "deserves a 10!" While we agree the ice cream was very good, the texture was grainy. We recently tried another ice cream, which was from the same deli, so there is a chance that they freeze their ice cream strangely - effecting the texture. However, the ice cream was good. The chocolate dinosaurs did not appeal to Emily, and Brooke did not love the cookie pieces. Overall, it was a good ice cream but not one that we would keep in the freezer. It did send us "positive vibrations!"

Cherry Gross-ia

Cherry Garcia is cherry ice cream with chocolate chips. The name of this ice cream is so cool, and Jerry Garcia is awesome. But the ice cream, was hardly delicious. Literally, one bite was vile. We were expecting the grossness though, which was good. And the vanilla ice cream helped the "medicine go down!" we strongly do not recommend this, even though, bizarrely, it is Ben and Jerry's number one flavor. YUCKKKKKKKK. "HELP!"

Opposite of Chocolate...

Vanilla ice cream is "smooth vanilla ice cream (made with Fair Trade Certified vanilla". Because Ben and Jerry's is known for crazy outgoing names and flavors, vanilla is not one people would consider buying, however it was very satisfying and unexpected. If you are in the mood for a basic flavor that at the same time is refreshing and delicious, get this. This definitely gave us "positive vibrations".

Nutty New York

New York Super Fudge Chunk is chocolate ice cream with white and dark fudge pieces and various nuts: walnuts, pecans and chocolate covered almonds. This ice cream was fine. There were too many nuts, which we did not particularly love as well as the chocolate based ice cream. It was not bad though, and would probably appeal to many other people. So "don't think twice it's alright."

Dublin Mudslide is irish liquor ice cream with chocolate chocolate cookie, and coffee fudge chunks. This ice cream made Emily surprisingly full, but claims she has never gotten full from ice cream before. In spite of that, she loved it. Brooke loved the ice cream as well. Its so filling and every single bite had a delicious chunk. There is nothing bad to say about it! It's definitely an ice cream we recommend, and we literally devoured the pint.

A similar flavor is made my Hagaan Daz, and the Ben and Jerry's flavor is significantly better. It is not as sweet, and so delicious. So fulfilling.

Mint Chocolate Chunk ice cream is mint ice cream with chunks of chocolate. We loved this ice cream, and as Emi Warner says, it's very "refreshing." Cora Vasserman wants viewers to know that "if you don't like mint, you won't like this." Sydney Goldberger agreed. Even though Cora Vasserman said this, she had several spoonfuls of the ice cream. We really like this ice cream, and found it very refreshing and delightful. If you are looking for mint ice cream, we recommend the cookie filled flavor. Overall, this flavor gave us "positive vibrations."

Peach Cobbler ice cream, is peach ice cream with peach chunks, swirls, and shortbread pie crust crumbs. Grace Lindsey said, "well the ice cream was too custardy, and peach pieces were tasty they had an odd texture and the outside was a little bit soggy tasting." This was definitely not a favorite, and several people agreed. We did not love this flavor, and would not purchase it to keep in the freezer, however it was not bad.

Cookies n' Oats

Oatmeal Cookie Chunk ice cream "Sweet Cream Cinnamon Ice cream with Chunks of Oatmeal Cookies & Fudge". This ice cream surprisingly was not as bad as it sounds (to us at least), and was quite delicious. Everyone that had a bite felt the same way, and it was enjoyed amongst all of our friends. Caitlin Merrells response to the ice cream was, "I don't like oatmeal but the flavor mixed with the delicious ice cream is amazing!". Every bite eaten was simply spectacular, and as Cora Vasserman remarked "the cinnamon swirls and fudge make for a tasty texture". Many people also said that even though they didn't like oatmeal cookies, they loved the ice cream! All of the ingredients blended well together, and in the end everyone was "feelin' groovy".

Mint Chocolate Cookie is amazing ice cream. It is a mix of mint ice cream with oreo-cookie like bites. Despite the fact that it is so delicious, it is a common flavor, and not as outrageous as many of the other Ben and Jerry's flavor. The ice cream was covered with cookies, "even though there aren't a lot of big chunks of cookie, there are little pieces throughout the entire ice cream" - Natalie Burlant. This ice cream is so good. "It is definitely one of my favorites, but I wish the ice cream was green" - Brooke Yalof. Three people finished the whole pint, if that says anything. (Although at this point, we really don't think it does, because we finish almost all of them.) This is an amazing ice cream, and it is "knockin' on heavens door!"

Brownie batter is brownie batter ice cream with a brownie batter swirl. It was amazing. It tastes like brownie batter. We don't love chocolate ice cream, but this is completely different. It was sick, and so delicious. Between six people the ice cream was finished. Charlotte Klein "really liked it. It wasn't chocolatey enough, I liked the texture though, it was really good and creamy." While the ice cream may not have been chocolatey enough for her, she still loved it. Ross Mechanic thought the ice cream was "yummy" as did Cooper Pillot. And Natalie Burlant "really liked the ice cream flavor but it was really rich."

Banana Split ice cream is a mixture of "Banana and Strawberry Ice Creams, with Walnuts, Fudge Chunks, and a Fudge Swirl". The mixture of ingredients was spectacular and as the Ben and Jerry's website states "at last, a part of the ice cream parlor can be brought home". Maggie Sachs loved the ice cream, however she felt that if you have too much it will give you a stomach ache. There was not as much Strawberry ice cream compared to the banana ice cream but when you got a bite of strawberry it was refreshing.

Happy Birthday!

Cake Batter ice cream consist of "yellow cake batter ice cream with a chocolate frosting swirl". It is a delicious ice cream, and although it is so simple is it so sweet and it will definitely cheer you up if you're in a bad mood. Because there are no chunks it is easy to scoop and it melts in your mouth. However, it could use some sprinkles on top. You would think that because there are not a lot of "extras" in the ice cream it would not be as satisfying but this is not the case. Even when you don't get a bite with the chocolate frosting swirl, which is not often, it is just as enjoyable. Overall, this was one of the best yet and we highly recommend it.

Karamel Sutra is "a core of soft caramel encircled by chocolate and caramel ice creams and fudge chips". To begin, the bites with the soft carmel were absolutely incredible. However, we felt that the fudge chips should have been placed in the carmel ice cream, instead of in the chocolate ice cream.

Neapolitan Dynamite was a disgusting mix of cherry garcia ice cream and chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. We literally almost vomited after eating this. We felt that the cherry garcia ice cream and the chocolate fudge ice cream did not go well together. The fact we didn't like the cherry garcia ice cream really effected our opinion. This was because to us at least, the cherry garcia ice cream tastes like cherry liquid tylenol medicine. If you like cherry garcia ice cream, then you might enjoy this flavor.

"Vanilla Heath Bar Crunch"

Vanilla HEATH Bar Crunch (vanilla ice cream with heath bar chunks) is amazing. Almost every bite has the heath bar chunks in it, which is the main reason each taste is so yummy. However, some chunks were too small and some were too big making them either hard to taste or hard to scoop. And in the case that your spoonful lacked a chunk the vanilla ice cream was dull. We think that it needed a carmel swirl. Although it was so simple, it was so good. Now we're "feelin groovy."

First of all, the title, "Ginger Snap", is very unappealing to us. "Ginger Snap" contains brown sugar cinnamon ice cream with gingersnap cookies and a ginger carmel swirl. The brown sugar cinnamon base was delicious, however for someone who does not enjoy ginger bread the ice cream was a miss. Second of all, according to someone who does in fact like ginger, the ice cream didn't work. Carmel and ginger just doesn't work together. It just doesn't. But hey, "don't think twice, its alright".

Everything But The... is a delicious ice cream flavor with a "collision of chocolate & vanilla ice creams with heath bar chunks, white chocolatey chunks, peanut butter cups & chocolatey-covered almonds." Again, we shared this fantastic flavor with all of our friends. "Epic" Kate Wellde declared. Emi Warner remarked "I don't usually like chocolate based ice cream but this was definitely an exception." Gabrielle Bausano insightfully shared that "she loved the refreshing blend of the flavors and chunks." Gabby Stephenson says that it is the "best ice cream yet! The peanut buttercups are my favorite part!" We thought that the ice cream was delicious, but that the peanut buttercups were whole and difficult to scoop out of the carton. Similarly to Emi, we both do not love the chocolate based ice cream (though it is swirled with vanilla) however we agree that the ice cream would not taste the same otherwise.

Build Me Up Buttercup

Day three was a great one! We had the Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. This consisted of peanut butter ice cream with peanut butter cups, and it was delicious. The thick peanut butter ice cream was yummy, however because there were no swirls, chunkless bites were not as amazing. And although the chunks were the best part, it was hard to scoop them out of the container because they were so big. This ice cream was by far, the best we've had yet. We highly recommend it. Especially if you LOVE peanut butter. This ice cream left us "feelin groovy!"

Two down and thirty-nine to go. The second ice cream flavor we tried was Cheesecake Brownie. It is cheesecake ice cream with cheesecake brownie chunks. This ice cream was interesting, and as Brooke quoted, "it was psychological thing for us because we don't like cheese so it throws us off". It was different and had a little bit of an after taste, but if you like cream cheese then we recommend trying it. Emily said "it's ice cream so it can't be that bad", and once you get past the fact that there is cheese in it this is true.

One down and forty to go. The first ice cream we tried was Crème Brûlée. Crème Brûlée ice cream is "sweet custard ice cream with a caramelized sugar swirl." The ice cream was sweet at first, and had a rich after taste. And while the caramelized sugar swirls were not visible, they were easy to taste. The ice cream, due to the sweet custard base, was very thick. Overall, Ben and Jerry captured the crème brûlée essence really well, in the delicious ice cream. We got "positive vibrations" from this ice cream!
