Default Ice cream stories

Taking a cue from the candy bar thread, what's your favorite ice cream? What about it appeals to you? Have your preferences changed over the years or are you loyal to the same flavor? Where do you go in TV when you're in the mood for a cold treat?

I don't drink coffee but love coffee ice cream. Ben and Jerry's Coffee Toffee Bar Crunch is the best, but Baskin Robbins Jamoca Almond Fudge will do in a pinch.

I also look forward to seasonal availability of peppermint candy flavor, usually only available in the Fall holidays months.

I met my future wife in high school when she worked at my local Baskin Robbins and I was in there a lot!

True love if she gave you an employee discount.

Reminds me of the cartoon where a guy is in an ice cream store and the only flavors on the menu are liver, broccoli, and vanilla. And, the guy behind the counter says, "we are out of vanilla".

Haagen-Dazs.....chocolate and vanilla bean mixed together and softened. This brand of ice cream - to me - has the least amount of air whipped into it yielding a creamy fulfilling taste/texture.

I love coffee ice cream from any manufacture. I love McDonalds custard. Nice and creamy and smooth.

Cherry Vanilla has been my favorite for 50 years. I now buy Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia.

Sad that 1/2 gallon of ice cream is no longer 1/2 gallon

A scoop each of Kilwins vanilla and Belgian chocolate ice cream goes down well.

Pralines and cream is SOOOOOO GOOOOD! But I often make banana 'ice cream' out of my overripe bananas.
