The Quest for My Americone Dream, Part Two: The Taste of Truthiness
In a word, it’s delicious! Vanilla ice cream with caramel swirl and chocolate covered waffle cone pieces. It didn’t last long in my house. We all enjoyed the taste of truthiness. I will definetly be buying this ice cream again. I give it a thumbs up!
No wait…that’s not right. TWO thumbs up!
That’s better. What the hell was I thinking?
Seriously though, folks, if you get the chance to try this flavor, do so. You won’t be disappointed.
Now I do have to admit that I hesitated throwing away the empty carton, Stephen’s picture being on it an all. Maybe I’ll save the next empty container.
Since my initial hunt for this ice cream I’ve since discovered that my local 7-11 also carries the flavor, but at twice the price I paid at Walmart. ($4.19?! I hope to hell $3.00 of that is going to a charity!). Anyway, I’ll brave going to Walmart again to get the ice cream because I’m chea– er, frugal. Unless I’m told that $3.00 of that $4.19 is in fact going to charity in which case I’ll buy it at 7-11. It’s closer.
I’ve also discovered that the Ben & Jerry’s website Flavor Locator thingy is waaaaaaaay off. When I punched in my zip code it tossed back three supermarkets, one of which is not even in Capital City. All three are the same chain of stores and one of those three I failed to find Americone Dream. The other store, admittedly I didn’t look because I figured if one store didn’t have it, the other wouldn’t either. But no listing for Walmart or the 7-11.
Hmmm…I think I taste a conspiracy….

I’ve looked for American Dream cone in my grocer and they don’t seem to have it either. It must be a conspiracy MA! No it’s taspiracy! We have Ben & Jerry’s but not in American Dream cone flavor.
As far as the price, $4.19 ain’t bad for Ben & Jerry’s, it’s gourmet ice cream so they can get away with that marketing ploy. I pay $4.39 a gallon for the local dairy’s gourmet flavors when it’s on sale. I swear, back home on the farm we should have had dairy cattle instead of beef. A gallon of milk is worth more than a gallon of gasoline!!! Brings a whole new meaning to the words ‘moooon shining’. Thanks for the flavor update and you are right Stephen’s show is really funny. I didn’t get into it until I read your blogs and had to see for myself what the fuss was about. He’s a riot.
