have i told you about my new boyfriend? his name is oatmeal cookie chunk. he's incredibly rich! a little lumpy, perhaps, but very comfortable and cozy.
we've been flirting with each other for several months, but i think i'm ready to take it to the next step. maybe move in together permanently.
because i'm tired of just meeting up with him occasionally in the grocery store. (plus, i sometimes have to spend a long time looking for him there!) i can always count on finding him at the ben & jerry's store, though. he likes hanging out with his friends.
in fact, i saw him there last week. then i took him home and had my way with him.
but something was wrong this time. i could tell he had been carousing with other flavors. i could taste mint on him!! i felt betrayed!
even though i was hurt and a little confused, i'll still forgive him. i love him that much. we'll work it out.
Posted by xta at November 11, 2004 05:32 PM | TrackBackYou know that Mr. Chunk is a serial carouser! I myself enjoy Southern Pecan Pie, although I haven't had it in a loooooong time. Maybe I should go stalk some and kill it.
Posted by: pinky at November 11, 2004 08:11 PMMmmmmm . . . Southern Pecan Pie. Mmmmmm . . . Oatmeal Cookie Chunk. I've never had such a craving for ice cream at this time of the morning before. I feel a trip to the B&J store coming on. What time do they open?
Posted by: minty at November 12, 2004 08:39 AMYou guys have a Ben and Jerry's store? I have to be satisfied with one cone at a time.
Posted by: lainey at November 12, 2004 09:30 AMlainey, i guess the store is technically called a "scoop shop"... you can get cones, shakes, sundaes, and -more importantly- hand-packed pints.
Posted by: christa at November 12, 2004 09:47 AMacto the Ben & Jerry website, Southern Pecan Pie is in the graveyard of discontinued flavas, along with several of my faves (inc. Nutty Waffle Cone, SNAFU, Cool Britannia, PB&J, and Festivus). Altho it looks like they might have resurrected Festivus as the non-Seinfeld-branded Gingerbread Cookie flavor.
Posted by: georg at November 12, 2004 10:08 AMi have some of the gingerbread cookie flavor here at home, and i don't like it, if anyone wants the rest of the pint (practically full) just let me know...
Posted by: christa at November 12, 2004 10:21 AMdammit woman, you stole my boyfriend! how could you?? wasn't I the one that introduced you to him? I poured my heart out to you about my love for him and what do you do? take him away from me. soooo, I guess if you are done with the gingerbread man, I'll try him.
Posted by: mary at November 12, 2004 11:46 AMI had no idea there's a B&J graveyard. I totally thought that I had invented "Cool Britannia" in my mind when I couldn't find it anymore. Retiring flavors is just cruel!
Posted by: lainey at November 12, 2004 12:25 PMAnd here I thought I was the only one mourning the loss of Cool Britannia. Solidarity!
Posted by: Lulu at November 12, 2004 04:26 PMAnd at the B&J headquarters in Vermont, there is an *actual* graveyard with actual headstones for retired flavors. It's a great tourist stop for anyone who's ever up that way, only $2 for the factory tour, and the opportunity to win free ice cream during the tour if you're a good listener.
