One of the first things I do when this state is achieved is go play a song or two on those digital jukeboxes. I like to loudly proclaim, \u201cThat\u2019s my Jam!\u201d and usually follow it up a Ric Flair-esque \u201cWoo!\u201d when the tune starts to play.<\/p>\n<p>I had one of these moments this past weekend when I played Rush in the bar, although it was kind of an awkward moment. Well, awkward 20 minutes. Living in a small Midwest town where the bar folk listen to only country or rap, you get more than a few angry looks when you play \u201c2112\u201d in its entirety, and then, like an idiot, admit out loud it was you who played it.<\/p>\n<p>After eating Ben &#038; Jerry\u2019s That\u2019s My Jam, one of the recent additions in the Core line, I would say That\u2019s My Jam is definitely worthy of being my jam.<\/p>\n<p>The concoction features chocolate ice cream, raspberry ice cream, fudge chips, and a raspberry core that is basically just really thick raspberry jam. So literally, it is YOUR jam once you buy it.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, I\u2019m going to try not to say \u201cjam\u201d for the rest of the review now. I think I already broke some sort of record.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/14075726461_2ff74fd26d_o.jpg?resize=625%2C514&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben &amp; Jerry&#039;s That&#039;s My Jam Core Ice Cream Top\" width=\"625\" height=\"514\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/14075726461_2ff74fd26d_o.jpg?w=625&amp;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/14075726461_2ff74fd26d_o.jpg?resize=300%2C247&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was rather excited to try this because of the raspberry ice cream, a flavor rarity in Ben and Jerry\u2019s. The raspberry flavor is subtle but not too subtle. It\u2019s not going to give your taste buds a Ric Flair chop. More like a high-five. And instead of his normal \u201cwoo!\u201d it would be more of the \u201cwoo\u201d you do when you see a really awesome (whatever item you most currently desire) in a display window. It has a light and refreshing flavor.<\/p>\n<p>The chocolate ice cream is the same you\u2019d get in any other Ben &#038; Jerry\u2019s, which means it\u2019s fantastic. The raspberry core is undoubtedly the best part. As I said earlier it\u2019s almost like a really thick ja\u2026. oh nuts, I can\u2019t say that word anymore. Need to make up a new word fast. Umm\u2026 jimjum? Deal! So the core is almost like a thick raspberry jimjum and it gels perfectly with the ice creams. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/14078915615_fb95d6282b_o.jpg?resize=625%2C398&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ben &amp; Jerry&#039;s That&#039;s My Jam Core Ice Cream Spoon\" width=\"625\" height=\"398\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/14078915615_fb95d6282b_o.jpg?w=625&amp;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/14078915615_fb95d6282b_o.jpg?resize=300%2C191&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I was worried it would be raspberry overkill since one of the ice creams is raspberry but the core is on a different level of the raspberry flavor spectrum and the flavors are noticeably different.<\/p>\n<p>If you found for some reason you didn\u2019t like the ice creams you could easily take out the core and spread it on toast. That\u2019s how thick it is. And who doesn\u2019t like a good jimjum on their toast? <\/p>\n<p>The one issue I had was that the core looks like it\u2019s nice and big at the top of the pint but in reality it is like an hourglass; Wider at the ends and skinnier in the middle. It was basically quarter-sized on top, shrunk to penny-sized in the middle and then went back to quarter-size towards the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>I have had all the other Core flavors and I really didn\u2019t have this issue with any of them. They all had better core circumference consistency (CCC) than That\u2019s My Jam did.<\/p>\n<p>When the core is the best part of the ice cream, CCC is really important and when the core shrunk for a bit my feelings were hurt a little bit. The size-changing core wasn\u2019t an anomaly either as I actually ate two pints of this just to see if it was like that in all of them.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, I still found the ice cream to be pretty good, and I\u2019d definitely have it again. <\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1\/2 cup &#8211; 260 calories, 120 calories from fat, 13 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 55 milligrams of cholesterol, 45 milligrams of sodium, 31 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 29 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Ben &#038; Jerry\u2019s That\u2019s My Jam Core Ice Cream<br \/>\n<b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.89<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> One pint<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Walmart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Flavors come together in perfect harmony. \u201c2112.\u201d Jimjum.<br \/>\n<b>Cons:<\/b> Diminishing core causes lost flavor opportunities.
