What's your opinion of Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream ice cream?

I realize it's still hard to find for some folks, but if you managed to score some of this Ben & Jerry flavor, what do you think?

I fully expected Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream to be tasty and entertaining like Stephen Colbert, yet it was bland and unpleasant like Alan Colmes. The waffle cone pieces taste as stale as O'Reilly's outrage and the ice cream as flavorless as a Young Republican conclave. The chocolate was likewise substandard.

My only thought is that Colbert was abstaining from sweets during Lent, so couldn't taste that goop before it sold.

In other news, Willie Nelson peach cobbler is delicious. :9

peach cobbler is the one i really want to try.

Ben & Jerry's website will do a "locator" search for you and tell you where they're selling certain flavors. I found them both at Albertsons near me, so it might be in an Albertsons near you.

I would seriously not bother with the Americone Dream. It is not even close to tasty.

walnuts or pecans if you like nuts -- makes it even better! The pieces of crust in the cobbler ice cream are fantastic.

I'll admit that when I took my first bite, I was a little underwhelmed. Tasted fine, yes, but there was no pizazz. But the flavor of American Dream slowly grew on me.

When I finally found another pint, I took a bite and was hooked. I think the ingredients in my first batch might not have been mixed optimally or something.

I won't say that it's my favorite flavor, but it's most definitely a good 'un. Hope it outlives the initial hype and stays around a while.

I enjoyed it. Not my favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor, but a fine addition to their line-up!

I am still looking for the Willie Nelson 'Peach Cobbler' flavor.

If you've got a 7-Eleven convenience store in your neck of the woods, check out their freezer section. That's where I found mine.

I found Americone Dream at one of them, and posted about it a few weeks ago... since then, my searches for Peach Cobbler have been fruitless (badaBoom!).

I will check out 7-11... I live near a few of those too. :-)

I pooped red, white, and blue the next day! :patriot:

I love the stuff!

And I'm in Washington, DC!

It is yummy!!!

I've never heard of the Willie Nelson peach cobbler, I'll have to hunt for that. I've found, by the way, that grocery stores are generally very willing to order special requests, especially if they already carry the brand.

I figured this was a joke, since I couldn't find it in stores at all.

That's where I found my pints of the stuff. I'm really surprised that Whole Foods Market hasn't stocked it yet.

Can't get it here in hillbilly heaven yet.

Sigh. I had the s'more flavor and thought that it was amazing...now I hear this that there's a cinnamon buns flavor?

I was never meant to be skinny dammit.

:D

Believe me, it's fucking AMAZING.

for me. I did pick up the CB carton and look at it.

but that one actually lasted 2 sittings.

I keep looking for it, but it's always out around here. I have however, seen Willie's Peach Cobbler. I want to get them as a set. :-) I guess I'll try the B&J store.

and i had a coupon--and it was on sale!

we don't have Albertson's around here.

Or red if the color of the currency was red... they wouldn't give a damn if their product caused a thousand people to drop dead.

:7

My new fave is Vermonty Python.
