I&#8217;m also amazed that Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s hasn&#8217;t done what Lay&#8217;s and Oreo have done, which is offer fans an opportunity to come up with their own flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s hasn&#8217;t done it, I&#8217;m curious to know what flavors Impulsive Buy readers can come up with if someone took the time to painstakingly go through all of Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s recent ice cream flavors and create a list of all the components the brand uses.<\/p>\n<p>So I took the time to painstakingly go through all of Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s recent ice cream flavors and created three lists &#8212; one for all the ice cream bases Ben &#038; Jerry&#8217;s uses, another one for swirls, and the last one for mix-ins. <\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t include the non-dairy, frozen yogurt, and sorbet flavors because mix-ins and swirls with sorbets would be weird and the non-dairy and frozen yogurt flavors overlap the ice cream flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Also, some of the ingredients sound like they&#8217;re pretty much the same thing (I&#8217;m looking at your Gooey Marshmallow and Toasted Marshmallow), but I kept them separate anyway. <\/p>\n<p>So pick an ice cream base or two, pick a swirl or two (or three), pick mix-ins, and, of course, come up with a cute name for the flavor. Share your ideas in the comments. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my idea for a flavor. It&#8217;s called &#8220;Wake Me Up Before You Coco.&#8221; It features chocolate and sweet cream coconut ice creams, coconut and fudge swirls, and espresso bean fudge chunks.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another idea for a flavor. This one is called &#8220;No, That&#8217;s Not Too Many Nuts&#8230;Oh Wait, That WAS Too Many Nuts.&#8221; It has peanut butter and pistachio ice creams, crunchy peanut butter, almonds, pecans, and walnuts.<\/p>\n<p>Are they any good? I have no idea.
