Actually, it’s called a “Cape Cod” (unless that’s just how we say it in the midwest.)

Anyway, my FAVORITE was Magic Brownie! It was vanilla ice cream, brownie bits, and rasberry swirled in. They made an “encore” version that wasn’t as good with raspberry ice cream.

I tried the Black & Tan and although it was enjoyable I never had the urge to get it again.

I remember having the PB & J when I was in high school. I loved it and was disappointed because I never saw it again. They should bring it back…so good.

yes, a cape codder should be cranberry and vodka…..usually ordered at the bar as a vodka cranberry…

At the factory in Waterbury, Vermont you can visit the Flavor Graveyard and mourn and pay tribute to your favorite lost flavors. I’m not sure if all discontinued flavors are given a headstone since I haven’t been in awhile, but I’m planning on visiting when I’m home this weekend so I’ll find out.

I know this one isn’t discontinued…yet…and I hope it never is, but I looove Stephen Colbert’s Americone dream! Vanilla ice cream with fudge covered waffle cone pieces and caramel swirl…by far the best ice cream I’ve ever had in my mouth! I may quit B & J’s if they ever discontinue this one…

yeah, I don’t eat a lot of ice cream, but Chubby Hubby is my favorite! I wish they sold it in the smaller sizes though. I haven’t had any of the flavors mentioned, and I really wish i could have tried the D’oh! one…

You’re correct… our scoop shop carries it as well, just not as good as it once was.

I am also miffed that (at least in my local shop) B & J no longer offers the free cone on your B-day. It used to be really a great treat at the former B J location, they’d give *3* healthy scoops in a big waffle cone (maybe that’s why they closed! :-))

How come no one mentioned Chubby Hubby? Oh my goodness, pretzels and peanut butter and ice cream.

Sigh… the closest scoop shop to me is 111 miles away…
