@Claudine: Maybe I got a bad pint or something but I didn’t think it has enough nuts in it, but, yes, the chocolate and vanilla were delicious.

Well I guess my palate must not be sophisticated because I absolutely loved this ice cream – plenty of nuts and the chocolate and vanilla swirl was creamy and delicious!

Villain was born like this...: I also feel it could've been better. Son of a Buiscuit Eater: I'm not much of a fan of pecan ice cream. Green tea is a different story. Hobo With a Shotgun: I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. @Gigi: It was either the Atlantic Starr song or Richard Marx. @grinder: Also, apparently cookies shaped like playing cards are also pimped as souvenirs. @Rachel: More ice cream in my bowl means more ice cream in my belly. But I still would like more nuts.

@Orchid64: how do I know they are actually men? Because I watched an HBO special about them. As for the Taiwanese tranny prostitutes, I thought everybody calls them exotic nuts. @Bear Silber: There are pretty much only two things you can bring back from Hawaii as a decent gift: macadamia nuts and coffee. @Chuck: Your comment brings to mind something a wise man once said: a tranny hooker who forgets to shave is a tranny hooker who doesn't get paid. @amanda: The only mission this ice cream should have is to make me fat. @Andy: Just ask your friend was going to Hawaii to bring back some macadamia nuts and then buy this ice cream and add your own macadamia nuts. @Woodenhand: So I'm curious to know the difference between Vik the Viper, Son of a Biscuit Eater and Hobo With a Shotgun. I think you guys all know each other.

I think they put less nuts in so you have to scoop more out to get some in your bowl, the same with their cookie dough. :| Clever tactics.

Macadamia nuts are also really pimped up as a souvenirs in Las Vegas. Nothing says “Vegas Vacation” better than nuts flown in from a 1,000 miles away.

Marvo, I am starting to think you have some sort of obsession with nuts (gee a man obsessed with his nuts that NEVER happens…) . Is it just me or does it seem like for every 1 good flavor Ben & Jerry’s put out they do 4 crappy ones?. I am also not going to forgive you for getting that Craptacular Atlantic Starr song stuck in my head!

And to Bear your line “at’s strange that there was not enough nuts in your mouth…” had me giggling like a 13 year old boy.

Hmmm I do like chocolate and Macademias, but I don’t care for vanilla ice cream or ice cream that has a vanilla base, hmmm give me some good old Pecan ice cream anyday!

Hmmm a not so subtle “Mahu” description and from what it sounds like a not too great ice cream, which really is a shame. Macadamia nuts are very good if a little pricy too bad they don’t get the chance to shine here like they deserve. I just wanted to tell Ben and Jerry that they kind of fell short with this one, I’ve had this flavor, and I didn’t think it was anywhere near where it could be…

I think I would probably find this flavor a little dissapointing in my view a chocolate macadamia nut ice cream should in theory have a lot of potential, I’m guessing that where I to consume this product, it would be like a dissapointed parent scolding a teen for less than stellar grades… you know, “I’m not mad, just dissapointed” still it was probably a good idea on paper!

I love Maca-ma-damia nuts, but I so rarely eat ice cream any more. Man, if there were more nuts in this, I would have had to go get some.

Funny it also tells you, it is a flavor with a mission.

I usually like Ben & Jerry’s but I don’t have ice cream too often. This sounds like a flavor with lots of unfulfilled potential….like a tranny hooker who forgot to shave.

Haha! Thanks for the history lesson of your floating home’s famous nut (you would not believe home many people bring a can back to the mainland as a gift).

That’s strange that there was not enough nuts in your mouth….usually Ben & Jerry’s is very liberal with their mix-ins.
