Not sure if anyone has talked about this yet. I know it's not anything near as exciting as the lineup but I can confirm that there will be a limited edition Ben And Jerry's Bonnaroo ice cream flavor coming out soon. As far as I know it will be a scoop shop exclusive and I'm not sure of the flavor description yet (someone told me something about whiskey flavored but that is just hearsay). I let you guys know when I find out the details (flavor description, flavor name). Also, I'm almost 100% sure I'm not supposed to say anything because Ben And Jerry's is very secretive and closed mouth about there operations but screw 'em, they've become a complete corporate BS operation lately. Hope the flavor rocks though!!!! ;D

I honestly hope it isn't a shop exclusive flavor but maybe the demand just isn't there...still they should certainly sell it onsite in June and they'd make a killing.

I work in an ice cream factory that distributes other companys' stuff including Ben & Jerry's. I'll have someone keep an eye on the advance samples we get for new B&Js scoop shop "tubs" and the pints and bars also. But they will probably make their official announcement of it before hand...
I have a Ben and Jerry's story that I would like to share. My 1st year of nursing school I was talking about getting Phil Lesh tickets with a friend while sitting in class. This girl joins the conversation...
Her: Who's that?
Us: He used to be in the Grateful Dead
Her: Who are they?
Us: The Grateful Dead? Jerry Garcia?
Her: Isn't that an ice cream flavor?
So remember that that there is the danger of the ice cream flavor becoming more well known than the event. I wonder what it will be!!
I grew up worshipping Rock and Roll like a religion. I know its shortcomings and strengths but have loved it unconditionally all the same since I was eight-years old. I ran away and joined the circus and honestly, I'm still as obsessed as I was as a boy. I'm not a kid anymore but I still remember how it felt and it doesn't really feel all that different to me now.

Maybe the Bonnaroo flavor will be Wonder Waffle inspired? Cherry Garcia is my all-time favorite Ben and Jerry's flavor...but I just love cherry anything.
Just bc your classmate is an idiot doesn't mean Cherry Garcia is more well known than Jerry.
Phish Food > Cherry Garcia
It was to her. And it's just a humorous anecdote. Don't take it too seriously. I agree with your assessment of the flavors. Phish Food is pretty darn awesome, but I'm a huge fan of marshmallow.
Don't forget Dave Matthews Band's One Sweet Whirled, which was delicious but now discontinued
I gave some of that to my nephews when they were age 3 and 5 at the time they devoured a quarter pint then chocolate smears all over their face they handed the rest back and claimed there was to much chocolate this is the only mission accomplished I can think of during the Bush Presidency

I eat half baked all the time... both regular and froyo. I feel that anything that Ben and Jerry's makes will be delicious and I will eat it.
agreed. I also just had a thought after reading the 'whiskey flavored' ice cream comment. They should totally make the 'Roo flavored Ben and Jerry's alcoholic!! haha
They gave out FREE ice cream at Rothbury (although the only time i found the tent it was like 20 degrees)...hopefully they do that at roo (where I will need it to fight off hyperthermia)
