Sorry about that Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor you like so much...

I feel a little hurt at the thought of this product being limited. I love shopping for ice cream flavors I consider my "secret love."

That's capitalism for you folks.

Mango Chutney, Sweet Ale Mustard, Curry Simmering Sauce, Butter Chicken, just for starters. I also haven't seen the dark roast coffee beans - just dark roast ground coffee.

5. I don't blame them. If something doesn't sell, why offer it.

Good on these businesses for cutting non sellers. It makes no sense in keeping them. It’d be like a network keeping a show that 3 people watch. Cancel it and try something else.

6. One Ben & Jerry's flavor I'd love ...

CHOCOLATE! I've been hearing for years about how good Ben & Jerry's ice cream is, and every time I hear it, I say, "Okay, the next time I go to the grocery store, I'll buy some Ben & Jerry's ice cream and try it out." The problem is, I still have never tried Ben & Jerry's. The reason is that I can't find CHOCOLATE Ben & Jerry's ice cream. There are always all these weird crazy exotic flavors, but never any CHOCOLATE. So I always buy Haagen Dazs chocolate ice cream instead. Haagen Dazs is really good ice cream, too. To this day, I have never tried Ben & Jerry's ice cream, not once in my life, because I can't find it in CHOCOLATE. I hope Ben or Jerry is reading this and will respond by making and marketing some Ben & Jerry's CHOCOLATE ice cream so I can finally try their ice cream for the first time in my life. I am aware that Ben & Jerry are good progressives, and I would like to support them by buying their ice cream, but that won't happen until I can buy some Ben & Jerry's CHOCOLATE ice cream.

My favorite ice cream is just plain chocolate with no “stuff” in it. If you can find it, Tillamook chocolate is gooood
