What’s the best part of eating cereal? Some would argue that it’s when the Froot Loops and Cocoa Puffs are long gone, and the sweet sugar-laden milk remains.
Ben & Jerry’s knows this, and since they’re all into ice cream, have taken the leftover remnants of cereal, and created Cereal Splashback Ice Cream.
The line of ice creams include Cocoa Loco, Frozen Flakes and Froot Loot — all inspired by the bowls of milk and tiny cereal bits that we cherish in the morning.

Great Odin’s raven… Ben & Jerry’s has come up with Scotchy Scotch Scotch — an ice cream flavor inspired by Anchorman and everyone’s favorite mustachioed ’70s news anchor, Ron Burgundy. It’s kind of a big deal.
Scotchy Scotch Scotch is butterscotch ice cream with butterscotch swirls. And, it’s made with bits of real panther, so you know it’s good. We might have made that last part up.
Either way, the Anchorman ice cream is only available in limited release. So be sure to get some down, down into your belly. OK, we’re done with movie quotes. But you be sure to stay classy, San Diego. OK, now we’re done.

Protect your pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream from sticky-fingered roommates, with the Ben & Jerry’s Euphori-Lock. Simply place the pint lock on your Cherry Garcia, or other punny ice cream, set a password, and it’s all yours — yum, yum, yum.
That is until your roommate finds a sharp object, and finds a way in through the bottom. We hear she crazy.
It would seem that everyone and their grandmother is getting a Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream flavor these days. So why not create a frozen tribute to one of the greatest characters in cinematic history, The Big Lebowski?
And think of how good White Russian ice cream would be, surrounding The Dude’s balls. Wait, never mind.

Rather than trying to stretch a 3-minute sketch into an unwatchable feature film, the latest Saturday Night Live spin-off is stretched into an ice cream flavor. Originally meant to poke fun at NPR, Schweddy Balls quickly became one of the most popular SNL sketches of all time — and now it’s a Ben & Jerry’s flavor. Use a heavy scoop to help cut through the double entendre.
Update: A statement from Pete Schweddy himself, the immortal Alec Baldwin…
“For a long time, I thought that ‘Here Lies Pete Schweddy’ would end up on my tombstone. Now, thanks to Ben & Jerry’s, the goodness of the Schweddy family recipe won’t go with me to the great beyond. It is immortalized here, right now, and it’s an ice cream. Ben & Jerry’s and Schweddy. Two great names in American dessert, together at last.”
