Somehow during the summer months, B&J released a Walmart-only flavor called Blueberry Cheesecake. Since I never go to WM, how would I know? Fortunately, some other B&J snobs (now linked to your right) did know about the flavor and posted about it. And also fortunate is that the second Walmart location I visited yday had it in stock, so I got a pint (2 actually). No review yet, but coming. Again, shouldn't they let their biggest fans (spelunkers) know about this. I tell ya..
About my appreciation of Ben and Jerry's pint ice creams and my pursuit of having tried 100 different flavors.

A flavor by any other name...
So, one of the more interesting 2011 flavors was Clusterfluff.. basically, softish chunks of peanut butter in a somewhat creamy ice cream.
During the summer, this flavor was renamed as What a Cluster, assumedly to appease those people who thought Clusterfluff was too dangerous a name.

Starting off in 2012...
So, while at the grocery store yday (the very up-to-date with flavors Shoppers Food Warehouse), what did I spot but ANOTHER limited batch flavor - Rocky Road-ish. Is the name supposed to denote that the flavor is LIKE Rocky Road, but not exactly, thus the ish? Is there another pun I'm not getting? Hmm...
It also follows an interesting trend of limited batch flavors, along with the underwhelming Schweddy Balls, the scrumptuous Snickerdoodle Cookie and the now you see it now you don't Di's Candy Drawer (amongst others).
Is this just a random flavor, or a sign that the 2012 flavors might be late or early? Wish I knew...
