ive lined up twice for your ice cream and waited more than 30 min by the time i handed over 13 dollars for 2 small cups of ice cream that was not worth waiting for. this is a product for the tourist that r not coming back. not for us locals. we locals r the ones that keep your business going when the torist r noy around.move n pick ice cream is a far better product without the ugly fat black cows plasted all over the corner. sorry. just telling the truth.

Tried the coffee flavour this week. Was served in the best ever tasting cone. Texture & flavour were amazing. Have just regained my sense of taste & smell after an ENT operation. Boy really understand the need for texture when that is all you have in the taste senses. So, so good to be able to enjoy foods sensory delights once more.

I grew up eating Ben & Jerry’s – there was a shop in my hometown (never could figure out why it closed, but now the place is a hotbed for gelaterias for some reason). I always got the free cone on my birthday and one year my parents took me and the whole gaggle of girls from my birthday slumber party to share a Vermonster…we may have only ordered half though. I don’t know if they have that on the menu down there but it involves TWENTY scoops of ice cream (whatever flavors you want) plus mass quantities of other sundae fixings like hot fudge, bananas, nuts, brownies, etc.

ALSO, I had read that Ben had no sense of taste but it’s interesting to find out that their strong flavors and large chunks are there so he can enjoy it, too! So awesome.

Fantastic interview! I had no idea that Ben had no sense of taste – how interesting and what an incredible success story.

I love how this company operates! One day a couple of weeks ago, two people turn up in the middle of my highrise office with B&J t-shirts on saying did we want to try some icecream? Did we! We ended up with 2×10 litre cartons of choc fudge – which we are still trying to get through in an office of 100 people. Love these guys!
