My favorite is Karamel Sutra which is now a Core as well.

Todd,

Not so much for me. I've always felt that B&J's ice cream always has one or two more ingredients than I want (e.g. strawberry and fudge, sure, but *also* walnuts and brownies?), and that the excess of ingredients is to make up for the so-so quality of the underlying ice cream. These "cores" seem like piling on; now we have two flavors with too many ingredients and and extra thing between them.

I guess Ben & Jerry's just isn't for me. Shame, we have one not two blocks away.

Fortunately we also have The Ice Cream Bar 4 blocks away.

This almost makes up for them discontinuing Cool Britannia.

Heh, I knew I'd hit a nerve with that one. As least I didn't bring up the current ownership of B&Js ...
