You’ve read about the STAGES of a relationship as told by Ben and Jerry's flavors, and now it’s time to read about your GUY in terms of Ben and Jerry's flavors. I know you're curious. Have you ever dated one of these types of guys?
The first love - Cinnamon Buns
Like your first love, Cinnamon Buns is sweet. So sweet that you think there couldn’t possibly be anything that could top it. The caramel base alone whisks you off your feet, but the cinnamon bun dough carries you away into a streusel-swirl sunset. When you fall this hard, you might not want to try any other ice cream. But alas, the end, or the bottom of the pint, is inevitable.
The rebound - Chocolate Therapy
After your love affair with cinnamon buns, you know you’ll need something undeniably and irresistibly delicious to even come close to your old favorite. Chocolate therapy is the obvious choice. It’s easy to get lost in the fudge-y depths of the chocolate base, chocolate cookies, and chocolate pudding. The creamy cocoa goodness smooths over any worries on your mind. You won’t be bowl-ing your eyes out anymore after a bowl of this.
The one you’re not sure why you dated - Vanilla
We all have that one ice cream we’re not sure why we bought- and that guy we’re not really sure why we dated. Vanilla, for example. There’s nothing wrong with a vanilla relationship… but sometimes you need a little more in your life. In a world of cookie dough chunks, caramel cores, and cookie swirls, why settle for plain vanilla? Vanilla deserves someone who really appreciates it. So, you move on to the next pint.
The mistake - Strawberry Cheesecake
There are some flavors that struggle to be replicated in the form of ice cream, and cheesecake is one of them. Like a relationship, sometimes the concept is a good idea, but when you actually try it... it's a flavor flop. You go into it thinking you'll get loads of cheesecake flavor and chunks of graham cracker and all you end up with is a variation of vanilla ice cream and a bad strawberry aftertaste. Next!
The sweet one - Brownie Batter Core
You know the incredibly sweet guy who looks at you like you’re the light of his life and brings you flowers without an occasion and basically acts like the love interest in your favorite rom-com? That’s brownie batter core. It supplies you with every bit of sweetness you could possibly need and never fails to deliver deliciousness. Chocolate ice cream? Check. Fudge brownies? Check. Brownie batter in the center? Check. This classic flavor is a real fudge fantasy- and the guy is sweet to his core.
The one that’s just right - The Tonight Dough
This is the flavor that you buy every time you go to the grocery store. All the other ice creams are delicious (because… all ice cream is delicious), but this one is the perfect combination of everything you love. Creamy chocolate and caramel base, gobs of peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate cookie swirl…. Wow. It has everything you could dream of. A combination of sugary sensational awesome-ness.
If you haven't found your perfect flavor combo and are drudging through a pint of freezer-burned gross-ness, just remember, there are always other ice creams in the freezer aisle! And if you have found your perfect pint, don't take it for granted. It's hard to find the one who makes you melt.
