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!"

Under The Sea

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”.

**Thanks Caitlin for sponsoring!!! We love you!

"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".
