Top Ten Discontinued Ben & Jerry's Flavors-- Good Riddance!

Finny and I were looking on the Ben & Jerry's website just now for a flavor of sorbet we liked last summer but can't find anymore, and we came across this list of discontinued flavors. Some of them are just SO NASTY, we thought they were funny. Why did they even make these in the first place?

1. Chocolate Orange Fudge. So wrong. Fruit and chocolate should not be mixed under any circumstances.

2. Concession Obsession. Finny said she liked this one, but I can definitely see why they stopped making it. Popcorn in ice cream? Not a very nice surprise.

3. Dastardly Mash. Sounds like it has potatoes in it.

4. Lemon Peppermint Carob Chip. So.....many.....flavors. Also, carob is a poor excuse for chocolate.

5. S.N.A.F.U. (Strawberries Naturally All Fudged Up). Again, fruit and chocolate-- no. Also, the name sucks.

6. Raspberry Gone Coconuts. Description says "buttery chunks of cookies," which in our opinion is enough to take it off the market right there.

7. Cantaloupe. Already disgusting as a fruit. Why not make a sorbet out of it?

8. Rainforest Crunch. Way to hippie-fied. Also, brazil nuts have a weird flavor.

9. Grape Nut. No, not a typo. That cereal that's getting stale because your dad bought it and NEVER eats it? Also a discontinued Ben & Jerry's flavor.

10. Miz Jelena's Sweet Potato Pie. We think this one speaks for itself.
