Why oh why did you have to leave? If ever there was a cause (and there are plenty) worth petitioning for that is one. If you have ever had them, you know what I mean. Take for instance, Rainbow and Thriller flavored Now N' Laters. If the saying went out with the good and in with the new, no one would take to it. I mean, just because it is old doesn't exclude it from being good. Even so, to many fans on social media, the nostalgia-tinged flavor reigns supreme.The saying, "Out with the old and in with the new," is highly overated. A finalist in Turkey Hill's 2017 Ultimate Flavor Tournament in which 50,000 people voted to revive a retired flavor, Strawberry Rhubarb Pie narrowly lost. In the U.S., rhubarb became such a popular ingredient for pies that it was nicknamed the "pie plant." Due to its tartness, it's classically and idyllically paired with sweet strawberries and vanilla ice cream, a melange that came to delicious fruition in Turkey Hill's Strawberry Rhubarb Pie - at least until the flavor was discontinued in 2001. Royal taste testing of "Victoria" rhubarb was so positive that it led to the creation of an avalanche of rhubarb recipes in both England and the United States where it was introduced by none other than Benjamin Franklin. To commemorate Her Highness's coronation, a loyalist plant breeder named Joseph Myatt created a regally red strain of rhubarb in her honor. However, it rocketed to lasting fame in 1837 on the cloaktails of England's Queen Victoria. Rhubarb had been around for millennia as a bitter, yet medicinal vegetable (yes, rhubarb is technically a veggie). He also had the foresight to scoop up a few remaining pints and stash them away at a top-secret location, in anticipation of a special occasion. The " world's biggest Oatmeal Cookie Chunk fan," Dent not only started a Facebook fan page for the flavor, but took his fight for its return all the way to the White House. Perhaps nobody was as traumatized by the flavor's extinction as Utah native, Austin Dent. In 2013, when HuffPost asked readers which Ben & Jerry's flavor they most wanted to resurrect from the grave, the overwhelming choice was Oatmeal Cookie Chunk. Since its demise, Ben & Jerry's have received outpourings of grief on a daily basis. Instead of making the flavor with an inferior product, in an admirable display of culinary integrity, Ben & Jerry's decided to send it to the Flavor Graveyard. When the supplier of the ice cream's signature oatmeal cookies stopped making them, a long search for an equally delicious replacement proved cookie-less. Unlike other B&J flavors, Oatmeal Cookie Chunk wasn't killed off due to lack of popularity. In the hopes that they'll someday be resurrected (if for a limited time only), here is a selection of some of the most-missed ice cream flavors in America. So when, without warning, they're yanked from our freezers, we're left reeling, our bowls and cones sadly empty, our souls and appetites bereft. And the best and most beloved flavors sometimes bring us joy. They pick us up when we're down (and fatten us up to boot). While in the throes of grieving a beloved flavor, it's difficult to see any logic behind the decision to "discontinue." However, as USA Today points out, as a result of increased technology, fierce competition, and rapidly changing trends and tastes, commercial ice cream manufacturers are constantly looking to add new and unusual ice cream flavors to entice consumers, even if that means killing off old favorites.Īnd yet what they don't always realize when trying to seduce us with the rarefied likes of dill pickle sorbet and Irish whiskey, is that old-school favorite ice cream flavors offer us constancy and comfort.
