Any chance you saw it at Giant? (mine was at Stop & Shop which is effectively the same store). Edy's does seem to be a bit less in some stores for sure.

Also, I need to pony up some cash and get a few Jeni's pints on the blog. <br /><br />@Nick T: no Edy's in your area either? That's weird. Also, H-D did a nice job this year, I hope they have something to offer us in 2019 besides the new alcohol inspired flavors.<br /><br />@Amanda: I only see Bart's at Roche Bros (and Whole Foods I think though I never go to whole foods anymore). Yeah, Nick's license plate is pretty cool.<br /><br />@Deb: really? I feel like the only 1/2 gallons I see now are super cheap budget brands.<br /><br />@Sascha: HAHAHAHA!

This whole time you have been putting up with my way TLDR posts on your website--(which I have been visiting daily ever since I discovered it). I am old-school, so I'll keep checking in here for your in-depth discussions on the crucial subject of ice cream quality. However, now that I have been perusing your Instagram, that Bart's Ice Cream looks pretty interesting and I like the NY license plate.<br /><br />@Jacana28: I don't know if your local grocers carry the Cedar Crest line, but they make a pretty good After Dinner Mint (Chocolate and Mint Flakes in White Mint Ice Cream) or a Mint Mackinac Island Fudge (Green Mint flavored Ice Cream with Chewy Fudge Pieces and Swirled with Butter Fudge Sauce). Or you can try "Playdough"--seriously, that's a flavor.Amandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-84735462950439270082019-01-01T23:24:42.118-05:002019-01-01T23:24:42.118-05:00I also noticed that Edys is gone in my local store...I also noticed that Edys is gone in my local store (I'm in Nj).

All in all, I'm satisfied with 2018.<br /><br />Oh, and happy new year!Nick Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-9782191125433055042019-01-01T22:00:33.367-05:002019-01-01T22:00:33.367-05:00I check out this site every day!

As for the top ten this year....eh. None of them did anything for me. I buy pints exclusively, only the real full fat flavors, and I used to only buy B and J or Talenti with occasional HD. But lately I’m loving Coolhaus. Used to love Jeni’s and didn’t even mind the $$$ but something about them changed and I was disappointed too many times.
