Friendly's Jonas Brothers 20th Anniversary Ice Cream

[New for 2025] When I went to see if Friendly's was going to deliver something new this year, I really wasn't expecting a limited edition Jonas Brothers inspired flavor to be sitting at the top of the page. Apparently they've been fans of Friendly's since they were kids. You know I don't really do coffee ice cream, but let's take some scoops of....

Friendly's Boston Cream Pie Ice Cream

[New for Early 2024] When I saw this flavor, it took awhile to convince myself that it was actually new. As a company that started in Massachusetts, how could Friendly's not have attempted this one sooner? Better late than never?

Friendly's Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

[New for Mid 2023] As I mentioned in my last post, I've had a full freezer for months and yet I've done a not so great job of keep up with things. Here is another example of something I bought mid summer, finally opened in mid September and am now posting in November. In other words, you probably won't find this one anymore, but maybe you can try it next you if this review inspires you to do so. Let's take a long delayed look at....

Friendly's Caramel Cookie Crumble Ice Cream

[New for 2022] A second Friendly's review in a single year? Ha, I kid, I used to review Friendly's alot more often, but there's just not a whole lot of new going on with them these days it seems. Well, there are the happy days bars and those SUPER STUFFED frozen dairy dessert flavors, but I can do without the latter. However, I have now bought *8* containers of Unicorn Power, so it seems only fair to give something else a try. Let's take a crack at....

Friendly's Unicorn Power Ice Cream

[New for 2022] I can't believe I bought this ice cream. I almost never buy friendly's nowadays, plus it has a sour swirl, and I don't do sour, but you know what? It was only $2.50!

Friendly's Summer Breeze Ice Cream

[New for 2019] I think it's safe to say that my relationship with Friendly's has soured on several fronts over the last few years. Their "regular" ice cream has gone way done in quality, the naturally line up was a fail, the big sundae lineup was amusing in some regards but is also dying. Their limited edition container game (1.5 quart offerings) has also tossed us several meh flavors.... until now. Finally we have a fun, flavorful item I can actually recommend.

Friendly's Nor'easter Pothole Ice Cream

[New for early 2018] When I first spotted this flavor a month ago, I didn't really have the urge to review it because it just seemed like a spiced up chocolate cookies & cream flavor. Yes, technically I adore cookies & cream, but I just didn't trust Friendly's to really make this one anything but catchy to the eye. Well, fast forward a month and there was nothing to buy at Hannaford, so I came home with a container of...

Friendly's Purple Potamus Ice Cream

[Note: this was released as Purple Cow ice cream at the beginning of 2012]

[New for early 2017] Continuing with the limited edition animal silliness that is the turtle on Turtle Sundae and the elephant on Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel, Friendly's would like to introduce us to a purple hippopotamus with their new....

Friendlys Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream

[New for early 2017] I got a kick out of doing back to back pb fudge reviews so let's try to do it again. As you may remember, I've taken a break from Friendly's quarts for the last year due to their nonsense in the texture/density department. Well, I decided to give them a chance because I had to know what was in this pint. Will I regret my decision?

Friendly's Wattamelon Sundae Cup

[New for 2016] Hello all. I just wanted you to know it took me way too long to pick which review to post today, but in the end, fate decided. You see, this is our 1500th review but I'll get more in to that on Sunday (anniversary time!). Ahhhh, nevermind, this story is boring, let's get to the review!

Friendly's Color Me Vanilla Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2015] Just the other day, Nick was telling me that Friendly's has come out with a few new things including two limited edition flavors. Keep your eyes open for Eggnog and....

Blue, green, and yellow vanilla flavored ice creams

Friendly's S'mores Ice Cream

[New for Summer 2015] With so many companies putting out their summer flavors from previous years, it's nice to see Friendlys giving us something new. This one even donates part of the proceeds to Easter Seals Camp Friendly's program. Win Win!

Friendly's Turtle Sundae Frozen Dairy Dessert

[By Nick, New for 2014] Time to review a limited edition flavor I somehow passed over last year but thankfully it returned again this year.

Friendly's Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Ice Cream

[New for Dec 2014 / Jan 2015, back for January 2016]
This one was hard to resist the first time, but then when I saw it again by work, and for just $2.50, I gave in. [warning, I've realized the camera has burnt out on my phone, so I have trouble in bright light and low light, it's only happy in the middle]

Friendly's Celebration Ice Cream Cake Ice Cream

[New for 2014] I was down at Walmart trying to restock the freezer for my family when I spied one very brightly colored Friendly's container. Oh yeah, my daughter needs this one ASAP.
