If you’ve ever had an ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s, you’ve probably faced the almost impossible task of choosing a flavor. While all the choices are delicious, the clever names are equally amusing. With flavors such as Cherry Garcia, Chunky Monkey and Empower Mint, your sense of humor is delighted before your taste buds go crazy. But what happens to the flavors that are no longer made? They are memorialized at the Flavor Graveyard at the factory in Waterbury, of course! Let’s take a look at some of the flavors that have been laid to rest, shall we?

With an aching heart & heavy sigh
We bid Rainforest Crunch goodbye.
That nutty Brittle from exotic places
Got sticky in between our braces.

One Potato, two potato,
Sweet Potato Pie,
No one could appreciate it,
So we had to let it die.

Just so there's no confusion
We thought we outhtta warn ya:
Wavy Gravy isn't dead -
He lives in California.
No such luck for Wavy's flavor,
But we've been wrong before
We won't give up the ghost if you won't,
So what're you waiting for?

It's curtains for the chocolate pair
I ate alone in the comfy chair,
One pint per night it might have been
But 'twas low fat so it
weren't no sin.

Pardon our French,
but we still swear
Our Creme Brûlée is
beyond compare,
So it may not be beaucoup
too late to save
Creme Brûlée from
beyond the grave.

Some say that raisin,
Caused its demise.

The chaos & cacophony
of the busy city life
lies peaceful now under a maple tree,
the flavor lost its strife.

Fudgy dinosaurs galore
Got all dug up til there were no more.
A flavor re-design might be do-able
But Fossil Fuel is non-renewable.

Slow and Steady wins the race,
Turtle Soup kept up the pace.
You may protest, but we suggest
Turtle Soup deserves a rest.

It danced in our dreams,
It proved not to be though,
The best of ice creams.

Without the pompous prose
Was it nuts we chose to say so,
or was it the nuts we chose?

Fresh-Picked peaches

Tasted great but couldn't last
'Cuz Georgia's quite a-ways away
& trucks don't go that fast.
