On average, which flavor ice cream do you bring home from the grocery store?
 

When you or your significant other are doing your normal grocery shopping, which flavor ice cream most often finds it's way into the home freezer?

I only ask because my buddy just told me that Rum Raisin is what is normally in his family freezer. Just seems like such an odd choice.

Some combination of chocolate. Moose tracks is a favorite.

What really pisses me off is those neapolitan ice cream sandwiches at Hyvee. I DON'T WANT ANY STRAWBERRY SHIT SANDWICHES. I JUST WANT THE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES.

WHY DON'T YOU SELL THOSE IN PACKS OF 12?

umm "white!"

Any kind of fruit in ice cream is disgusting.

I used to buy Edy's chocolate chip or Neapolitan, but that was before chemo gave me cold sensitivity and ice cream feels like it has cactus needles in it now. :(

I would have to assume y'all are including bananas in that statement.

With that, I do not agree.

ALSO ANSWER THE ****ING QUESTION

Rocky Road or Vanilla with a tub of strawberries.

Kind of goddamned pushy with your ice cream poll taking, don't you think? Rain Man would never raise his voice in such a manner.

Belfonte's Chocolate Silk is pretty ****ing yummy, as is the Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.

I don't go to the grocery store.

Wife always goes with some kind of cookie or candy bar ice cream. I'm more of a traditional vanilla, chocolate, or Neapolitan. I occasionally like mint chocolate chip.

Reminder: Haagen Dazs is the only real ice cream in the grocery store. None of the others have eggs. Real ice cream has eggs.

Chocolate Almond
Chocolate Chip
Vanilla.

I have a duality issue with ice cream. I love French Vanilla, as long as the bean bits aren't too large. But, I hate the French genetically and in all other tangible ways. Therefore, my guilt when I eat and enjoy French Vanilla is doubly horrible and wonderful.

Not true. Ice cream doesn't have to start with custard.

In any case, if you can find some Graeter's in the store, it is The Best.

Yes it does, dammit.

I don't eat it often. Anything with chocolate is good. Topped with almonds and strawberries is good. Topped with m&m's or heath pieces is good.

Chocolate chip ice cream for me

On the few occasions a year that we eat ice cream, it is always homemade.

You're correct. My apologies to both yourself and Bugeater. I got a bit carried away. I'll try to better control my posting actions in the future.
HOLY **** WHY MUST YOU BE SO DAMN DIFFICULT

The Neapolitan sandwiches are my favorite kind of ice cream sandwiches.

You need to look for Mississippi Mud sandwiches.

I don't eat ice cream very often, but when I do it is Talenti Sea Salt Caramel Gelato.

Once in a while I'll pick up a Drumstick at QT.

Orange sherbert is the hawtness

Don't care if it's not considered ice cream

I'll allow it.

We don't keep ice cream at the house, simply because it would just be gone within a day or so and we try to eat eliminate all unhealthy foods at the house. When we get a hankering for ice cream we always head down to our local ice cream parlor. Dewars Ice Cream

The marshmallow mellow topping is amazing and I don't like even like regular marshmallows. It's basically the best ice cream ever.

Buster Bars from the Dairy Queen

This is us, as well. When we do bring home ice cream, it's usually Rocky Road or Homemade Vanilla from Blue Bell.

If we bring home ice cream, which only during family nights where we eat junk food and watch movies it's pistachio or moose tracks for me and Reese's peanut butter for the wife.

Blue Bell is by far our favorite. By. Far. Moolineum crunch, and southern blackberry cobbler are our gotos.

I would consider pistachio an interesting choice.

I'm gonna have to try it.

Blue Bell is the best store bought I've ever had. ****ing ever.

Just for reference...do you add paprika to the pistachio for color?

I heart you so much. I agree, but I'm from Texas and that makes me bias.

Pistachio is the best. Give it a try sometime.

Orange or Cherry Limeade Sherbet

Dude, I'm from Seattle and couldn't get it there. By far, the best ever. From the store. Andy's here in Branson/Springfield makes my dick hard just thinking about it.

Breyers Mint Chocolate chip if its from a carton. I had first when was a lil guy and Dad would drive us to Velvet Freeze in NKC. I also liked that peppermint ice cream from velvet freeze. The one with vanilla and flecks or green and red peppermint candy. I dont remember who made it but wife bought home a carton of vanilla and orange sherbert. Tasted like the orange dream bars from the good humor truck.

I'm ready to drive heavily buzzed now for some Andys. If I die tonight, blame TimBone.

Honorable mention: Pecan Praline

Have you had Blue Bunny?

5 or 6 really great things have come out of Iowa and most of them wrestled. The other thing was Blue Bunny in Le Mars.

Damn. Better get a good flavor.

America's test kitchen taste testers didnt agree with you if I remember right Edy's won. Blue Bell had the stuff in it that makes it not melt. They didnt like that.

I've always considered Blue Bunny a Blue Bell knock off due to the similarity in names.

I'm likely very wrong, but I can't control how my mind works.

James Brownie concrete ftw! Not really going to do it. Obviously I'm sure.

Le Mars, Iowa is the "Ice Cream Capital of the World".

But that doesn't mean that DC isn't a shit hole. :D

I have and it's good, but I'm a dyed in the wool (looking at you baby lee) Blue Bell fan.

Breyer's. Edy's is overrun.

For me? **** Dreyers. That's what it's called on the west coast. Same ice cream.

Cookies and cream.

You're my kinda guy.

I never buy the cookies and cream ice cream or for that matter cookie dough ice cream. just get vanilla and crush some Oreo's over. With all the flavors oreo come in now wow. I gotta try mint oreo and vanilla.

Vanilla:

1. Ben & Jerry's
2. Häagen-Dazs
3. Blue Bunny
4. Breyer's
5. Friendly's
6. Blue Bell
7. Turkey Hill
8. Edy's (NR)

Chocolate:

1. Ben & Jerry's
2. Friendly's
3. Edy's
4. Blue Bunny
5. Häagen-Dazs
6. Blue Bell
7. Turkey Hill
8. Breyer's (NR)

Ice Cream Sandwiches:

1. Nestlé/Carnation
2. Klondike
3. Blue Bunny
4. Turkey Hill
5. Julie's
6. Weight Watchers (NR)
7. Skinny Cow (NR)
8. Healthy Choice (NR)
9. Tofutti Cuties (NR)

**NR is "Not Recommended".

It's not the same... At all.

When I was a kid and we were out of Hershey syrup I would take a can of fruit cocktail and spread over vanilla good stuff.

carton always seemed to me to much cookie not enough cream.

Ben and Jerry's Heath Bar Crunch (coffee and vanilla) when they made it. I haven't bought any ice cream since they stopped using Heath bar and went to a shitty substitute.

Yeah, I agree. The way the oreo cream is mixed in with the ice cream, and the way the oreo cookie is slightly mushy. So good.

****, I'm stopping at the store on the way home from work tonight.

That's the second mention for it ITT. I'm gonna be forced to try it.

I prefer Frozen Custard.

If I'm eating ice cream, it's Graeters. Anyone who's been to Ohio, or in the area know what I'm talking about.

On average, I buy Moose Tracks. It's also my median and mode purchase.

It's the only food where I buy the store brand. Oddly, the store brand is the best version out there.

I mentioned Graeter's earlier. It's awesome. They're starting the last few years to distribute wider. I can get it here in AL.

High five!

Mint cookies and cream is the best. Ben and Jerry's Mint Cookie Crumble is great. My homemade version is right there. If you have a Safeway chain near you, their version of Safeway Select sucks though.

It's a toss up between Häagen-Dazs strawberry or pistachio or Breyers chocolate chip. Depends on what phase I am going through. It was Rocky Road for awhile until I got tired of it.

I love Ben and Jerry`s Half Baked and Phish Food are my two favorites. Its a shame you can`t get them around here.

Heh, heh, I know the marketing director there.

I like Moose Tracks.

THIS

rocky road is an acceptable substitute

This may sound crazy but Ben and Jerry's is to sweet. They load it with so much crap that its hard to recognize its ice cream. If I want a candy bar I will buy one. If I want ice cream that's what I want not overpowered by the other ingredients. Every time I've ate it I feel sick my stomach after.

Absolute truth with some of their flavors.

Well, I do like the Cherry Garcia. Though, other than that I don't generally buy B7J's.

Rocky Road with a marshmallow swirl is better than Rocky Road with marshmallow chunks.

I just thought you people should know that.

That's possible. I'm open to the experience.

Snickers does a Rocky Road with peanuts instead of Almonds and that's pretty ridiculous too.

I prefer the marshmallow swirl too.

And I prefer that one! I'm very open to alternative lifestyles.
