T-shirt #318: Ben and Jerry's Tie Dye

This shirt was donated from Ben and Jerry’s (thanks again!) and I wanted to wait until I was in Vermont to wear it. This weekend presented the perfect chance for this when I headed up to Burlington to visit my brother Tom. Although last night’s BC-UVM hockey game produced less than ideal results (for me that is, most of the 4000+ went home very happy), today’s stop at the Ben and Jerry’s factory (the picture is right outside it) was very satisfying…

The factory tour started with a short documentary about the beginnings and development of Ben and Jerry’s, then there was the tour itself, and finally a free sample at the end. Today’s flavor was Triple Caramel Chunk, one I have never tried, and was a lot more pleasing that BC’s 4-3 loss last night…

All of the Ben and Jerry’s flavors are here: http://www.benjerry.com/flavors/our-flavors/# My favorite B and J flavor is Half Baked: http://www.benjerry.com/flavors/our-flavors/#product_id=21

If these flavors aren’t good enough for you, you can make your own! You can try your best here http://www.benjerry.com/activism/inside-the-pint/do-the-world-a-flavor/generator.cfm to beat the flavor I designed. It’s called “Dave’s Totally Baked” and here’s what it has:

1. Base – Milk Chocolate, Brownie Batter
2. Chunks – Chocolate Peace Signs, Peanut Butter Cups, Chocolate Layer Cake, Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies
3. Swirls – Caramel and Peanut Butter

I really, really, really hope someone at Ben and Jerry’s reads this and they make it!
