      I think I wanted a stronger hazelnut flavor. But I agree, there are too many ice creams in the world to argue. :wink:

      I've yet to have Ben and Jerry's because I'm still too taken aback by the calories. lol. One day, though.

      In general I'm not a B&J girl. There are a few flavors I like and one or two I really love. Phish Food is my favorite of theirs. I like the new chocolate cookie core and the Tonight Dough. But I don't think any of those would crack my top 5 if I'm including all brands.

      Tried this last night for something different. I was very happy with it. Nice cinnamon flavor and could even taste that butter/brown sugar flavor that you get with a nice gooey cinnamon roll.

      I got the slow churned version and it's good!

      Seriously try their Half Baked froyo. It is sooooo good! And the Cherry Garcia, if you like cherry. The Fudge Brownie froyo was good if you put peanut butter on it, I just wasn't a huge fan.

      Absolutely stellar. Nice and creamy and it's not too much on the sherbet.

      I don't think I've seen this one. I'm going to keep an eye out. I've never bought Friendly's, but I've oogled. Ogled? Whatever. :smile:

      Ooh. I might try that out now since I finished off the Red Velvet Cake.

      That is one of my favorite Edy's flavors in both the regular & slow churned. Basically I'm a sucker for most cinnamon ice creams.

      A reviewer on www.theimpulsivebuy.com said Wal-Mart's Sam's Choice Cherry ice cream was even better than Ben & Jerry's.

      Speaking of Ben and Jerry flavors, their pumpkin cheesecake was pretty good. Not a whole lot of mix ins but it has a nice base.

      I've been hesitant to try Edys simply because of the small serving size. Is that weird?

      That's what I love about their Slow Churned line...60ish grams for 100-130 calories means I can eat comparably to a Talenti serving

      It's not that small. The ice cream is just lighter with less mix in's, but volume wise it's about the same.

      Last night, I went to Marianne's in Santa Cruz (an icon here) and had cardamom pistachio. It was yummy! Sorry no pic.

      My Wal-Mart doesn't carry Sam's Choice. I guess you have to go to a Super Wal-Mart for that. If they did, I'd be stocking up on their Coffee & Donuts ice cream, because I loved that stuff!

      Sometimes I find with the weird serving size/lower calorie I end up eating 1-3 servings. Their Cinnamon Bun flavor in the regular & slow churned is good as is there French Silk & Slow Churned Mint Chocolate Chip.

      Has anyone tried the Three Twins Mint Confetti? I've seen Giant is discontinuing it & if it's good I might pick up a pint before they run out.

      My favorite part is the glaze *drools*:D.

      I seen Giant had a limited edition Marshmallow ice cream with a pretzel swirl. I am not big on pretzel swirls so I passed.

      OnceI make some room in my freezer, I'll have to try some out!

      Got the Oikos Frozen Greek yogurt sea salt caramel at Shop Rite. I like it. Not a bad lower calorie option at all.

      Oh good! I haven't tried mine yet. I've been rocking the TH Deep Dark Chocolate over some fresh strawberries for the past few days. I have the Oikos plus 2 pints of B&J still, and a pack of Yasso Mint Chocolate Chip Greek Frozen Yogurt bars. Finished off the Peanut Butter Cup ones, which were stellar. I had tried Weight Watcher's Frozen Greek Yogurt bars a while ago and threw away the box, they were so horrible. So I was pleasantly surprised with the Yasso.

      Yeah I tried some Weight Watcher frozen yogurt and it ended in the trash too. But so did the Yasso, honestly... it tasted like cardboard (I tried the coconut ones).

      I was pretty disappointed with the pretzels in Market Pantry's Sea Salt Caramel Pretzel (I think that's what it was called). They were too soft, so I would probably shy away from anything with pretzels, unless someone told me it was good. And yes, the glaze! Oh my yummmm.

      Just tried Talenti Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and to be honest, I'm not a huge fan. It has an odd taste to me. :confused:

      That seems to be the consensus. I didn't get that or the Oatmeal one because the reviews were abysmal. It's crazy to me that those are the ones they messed up. Seems like it'd be difficult not to get cookie dough right-- it's so simple.

      I'll see if my parents want it. If not, I'm going to trash it. No use wasting the calories on sadly mediocre ice cream.

      Did it taste like vanilla extract? That's the taste I got from it. I ate it anyway, because I can't throw food out. I just ate it with tears in my eyes.

      Sorry to see Leo's back in jail again. He's such a naughty puppy!

      Finished off the peanut butter half baked last night. Wish it wasn't such a calorie bomb, but it's the shiznit.

      Gonna have to restock again soon!

      Tonight was Ben & Jerry's Fudge Brownie (probably my all-time favorite, I ate a bit more than 1 1/2 servings.... wooooooo calories!!!) followed by 2 S'mores Oreos. Oh my gosh were those good!
    • Posts: 26,368 Member
      I love the s'moreos. I might have bought 5 boxes.

      You know what? Yes, yes it did. I couldn't quite put my finger on the taste, but that's it. I'm giving it to my parents. Any other Talenti flavors I should avoid before I waste my money and calories?
