Weird Wide Web - Ice creams flavours graveyard | News Article

There is something quite upsetting when one of your favourite snacks is discontinued and you find yourself wondering what on earth you can sink your teeth into now.

Well, for fans of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavours that have bitten the dust, you actually have the opportunity to pay your respects, graveside. No need to adjust your glasses, you read that right, there is indeed an actual ‘Flavor Graveyard’ where discontinued Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavours are laid to rest.  

We’re talking about a physical graveyard full of granite headstones where little anecdotes remember the flavours of the past. Crazy, we know.  The memorial site can be found at the location of Ben & Jerry’s first factory, which opened in 1985, in Vermont, USA.

While the brand has indeed created many experimental and delectable flavours over the years, not all stand the test of time. Flavour experimentation comes hand-in-hand with risks meaning that the not so popular products can ultimately meet their untimely end.  The tongue-in-cheek graveyard offers ice cream lovers the opportunity to shed a tear or two in memoriam of their favorite scoops. However, miracles can happen from time to time as fans beg Ben & Jerry’s to ‘rein-cone-ate’ certain fallen flavours and some really are given a second lease of life.  If you’re wanting to pay your respects but have feet firmly on foreign soil, the online ‘Flavor Graveyard’ still exists.
