The list of add-ins for the Barenaked Ladies-branded Ben & Jerry’s flavor, “If I Had 1,000,000 Flavours,” has more syllables than the verses for “One Week”:
chocolate
vanilla
chocolate-covered toffee
white chocolate chunks
peanut butter cups
chocolate-covered almonds
I am a staunch anti-white-chocolatist myself, and I don’t know if the presence of peanut butter cups can mitigate the fact that there will be a bunch of chunks of solidified vanilla body wash within. Although it may be a moot point: If I Had… looks to be the first Canada-only flavo(u)r in the Ben & Jerry’s repetoire. C’mon, guys, you really couldn’t call something Great White North?

Love white chocolate. Rather to my surprise, I will try this.
None of the vanity flavors will ever beat Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream, however. And no B&J flavor, period, will ever top Rainforest Crunch.
@Chris Molanphy: You’re totally right on Americone Dream, but nothing will ever top Rainforest Crunch? Them’s fighting words, at least as long as Half Baked is around.
I like white chocolate too, and the ice cream is okay as well.
@Poubelle: Important disclaimer: I don’t like chocolate ice cream. Bits of chocolate in my ‘scream are okay, but I am a weirdo in general when it comes to choco-product.
Hence, RF Crunch is as good as it gets for someone of my leanings. Also explains my tolerance for white chocolate, which even I admit is a bastard product (but one I love).
I recently tried B&J’s “Cake Batter” flavor…and it’s pretty much crack cocaine for me now.
Half-Baked Frozen Yogurt is so good that I have to check the container to make sure it’s not ice cream. Wow. That sounded like ad copy.
@Chris Molanphy: Well, that’s understandable. I normally prefer vanilla to chocolate ice cream, but I make exceptions.
@MayhemintheHood: That is probably my second-favorite, after Half-Baked. What is it about raw dough in ice cream that’s so amazing, anyway?
@Lucas Jensen: I might need to try that. Just to verify that you’re not exaggerating.
(why I can’t I reply to more than one person anymore?)
Topic: I like to eat my ice cream while listening to my music. Last summer I discovered Jarvis’s album goes great with gelato.
@Poubelle:
No, the best flavor for my money is Creme Brulee. Because it tastes EXACTLY like creme brulee, except frozen. Brilliant.
@MayhemintheHood: As a heavily pregnant woman who has lived on virtually nothing but ice cream for the past 8 months, I heartily agree.
That said, the only things I hate more than Barenaked Ladies are cancer and the Holocaust.
@anibundel: Re: the Creme Brulee. In the create a flavor contest of a few years back, my entry was called “Creme de la Creme Brulee” which was a snappy title, I thought. I didn’t win, but a couple years later: POW! Creme Brulee. They totally got that idea from me.
