Hold me closer, tiny ice cream.
My heart skipped a beat today when I saw that there’d be a brand new flavor rolling out of the Ben & Jerry’s factory this month. Surely I would have to sample this latest batch of frozen paradise. But then I learned a horrid, horrid truth. The new flavor would only be available for one week… and only in VERMONT.
Why, Ben & Jerry’s? WHY? Adding insult to injury, the new flavor looks oh-so-good. Titled “Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road” as an ode to Elton John (who’ll be playing his first Vermont concert this month), the ice cream features “an outrageous symphony of decadent chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks.”
Me == salivating at the mouth.
I can’t believe such an affable organization as Ben & Jerry’s would deign to tease us with this flavor, knowing that only a small population of the country will have access to it  and only for a limited time at that! It’s not right, I tell you. It’s not right! Ice cream flavors should last longer than a candle in the wind, if you will. Don’t let the sun go down on me, Ben & Jerry’s! The circle of life for this ice cream should be longer, more expansive! I want to eat it at the club at the end of the street!!!
Okay, I’ll stop.
