Quote : | "(CNN) -- Baskin-Robbins is putting five of its signature 31 flavors in the deep freeze. The company, which has thousands of outlets around the globe, is replacing some old flavors with new ones to celebrate National Ice Cream Day in the U.S. on Sunday, and Baskin-Robbin's 65th anniversary. Caramel Praline Cheesecake, Campfire S'mores, Apple Pie a La Mode and Superfudge Truffle are leaving the list. French Vanilla, a staple since 1945, is out, too." |

I've probably eaten baskin robins ice cream twice in my life at most, but carabel praline cheesecake and apple pie sound awesome.
But they are almost certainly doing this by popularity, so by not eating there I wasn't doing my part in keeping these flavors around. Sorry about that

Baskin-Robbins earned my ire when they discontinued Chocolate Raspberry Truffle as a regular flavor in the mid 90's. Best damn flavor ever. It comes back as a specialty flavor on rare occasions.
The ice cream isn't bad, and their sundaes are good. Everything's kind of expensive though, and the milkshakes aren't as good as Cook Out and are twice as expensive. 7/16/2010 8:44:27 AM |

This reminds me- I went to the first "new format" TCBY in the country a couple weeks ago when I was back home (I didn't get anything but the gf did)
it is different in that they have about 10-15 flavors of the "cream" and then all the toppings- but it is serve yourself. You get a cup, and put whatever you want in there, and then they weigh it when your done. Pretty interesting format 7/16/2010 8:50:12 AM |

I agree with the WTF on dumping French vanilla. That is like one of the two baseline necessary ice cream flavors.
I also agree that the rocky road is really good. I used to get that or the peanut butter chocolate when I was a kid. I haven't been there in at least a decade though. 7/16/2010 9:13:49 AM |

I went to a place like this in Vietnam. That shit wracks up when you aren't thinking about the fact it's priced by weight 7/17/2010 12:43:33 PM |
