In Which I Discuss Ben & Jerry's
This is complete and utter blasphemy, considering that I used to live down the street from Babcock ice cream and currently live around the corner from a Rita’s, but I think Ben & Jerry’s is the best ice cream ever.
When I was in high school and still had the metabolism of a hummingbird, I would occasionally eat an entire pint of Ben & Jerry’s in one sitting. And then go have dinner.
I have chowed down happily on Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Phish Food, and many others. My current favorite is Half Baked. Whoever thought to put brownie chunks AND cookie dough chunks into the same ice cream is a genius. I am eating a half-cup of it as we speak (and then I will have dinner).
I thought Ben & Jerry’s could do no wrong until I tried Cheesecake Brownie, the flagship ice cream of the ONE movement to end poverty.
Blegh.
We’ve already established that I enjoy brownie ice cream, and I love cheesecake even more than brownie ice cream. But cheesecake-flavored ice cream is…weirdly sour and unpleasant.
So keep your poverty-fighting and your ice-cream purchasing habits separate and everything will be fine.
