I could go for a hardcore themed flavor, black licorice or something worked in there. Then a post-hardcore flavor that only has brown ingredients

In fact, the MMJ flavor would be a good excuse to start messing with a mango flavor, swapping either the first or last word of the band’s name for the fruit. They’ve worked with cherries and raspberries (actually, the original Dave Matthews Magic Brownie, before they inverted it, was pretty damn good).

Tonight Dough is awesome too. And Phish Food. Basically anything Ben & Jerry’s makes is mouth magic.

But also, did you guys really get together in a room and eat ice cream and type to each other?

A good vanilla bean is hard to beat. But standard vanilla or french are a far cry from it.

Sub hot take: Haagen Dazs Vanilla Swiss Almond is its highly underrated cousin if you want a little crunch.

Best flavor ever = the discontinued Oatmeal Cookie Chunk. The more recent Oat of This Swirled has been a decent if inferior revisiting of some elements of it. Last I saw, OCC was the #1 most requested return flavor, which I found comforting. I’m not alone.

2. Yes, bring forth an MMJ flavor.

3. Phish is fun live.

4. Recent hits for me from B&J have included Peanut Buttah Cookie Core (peanut butteriest ice cream ever!) & Milk & Cookies (a brilliant stepping up of the notion of cookies & cream).

Coffee Toffee Crunch (FKA Coffee Heath Bar Crunch) is my favorite, the Bonaroo Buzz flavor was also pretty good if busy. And in terms of music related ones, for awhile there was Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road, and it was also great.
