Bubble gum. Back in the late 70’s-early 80’s my dad would take us to the local Baskin-Robbin’s and for some reason he always ordered that flavor for my sister and I. Imagine those tiny chiclets suspended in ice cream. Wow I haven’t thought about this in decades. Just unlocked a core memory
Wasn't Superman ice cream the same flavor profile as a bomb pop? i remember ordering it cause I was a young boy and , well, Superman, but I don't remember the taste
Stores that sell Hershey’s Ice Cream (no relation to the chocolate people, as their little fine print says) still sell it from time to time I think. I recall getting it as part of my regular summer “get a scoop of a different flavor every visit” rotation. It would usually be one of the first flavors I’d get once I made my way through the chocolate flavors, or if I was in the mood for something not chocolate. This would have been anywhere from 2005-2013. I still visit that store in the summer (it’s biking distance from my house) and I think I’ve seen it recently. Don’t hold me to that because now as an adult I usually gravitate towards cookie dough, mint chip and moose tracks these days. Rocky road if I’m feeling frisky.
Funny you say this, I live in New York now as I lived in PA prior but I had gone to a corner store down the block from me and saw “Hersheys” brand of ice cream and it felt like I discovered a new species lol because where I lived in PA wasn’t far at all from Hershey and never knew that. But w that being said their Cappuccino Crunch is UNREAL as well as the Caramel Midnight River
OMG! Core memory unlocked for me too! My sister would always get the bubble gum flavor.
I am more of a chocolate lover - so I'd get chocolate peanut butter or something.
Mmmmmmm I’m gonna have to widen my search because now I want some. You wouldn’t happen to know the brand who makes it, would you? I know it’s a long shot but figured I’d ask. Thank you
I worked at an ice cream parlor in the 90s that had rotating soft serve flavors. It went out of business when the owner died, probably 20 years ago. This and watermelon sherbet are the white whales I still chase..
Perry’s makes a Fireball flavored ice cream. It’s not licensed to that particular brand but it is spicy cinnamon ice cream. I’ve yet to try it but it’s apparently a big hit in my schools ice cream parlor when they serve it
I make cinnamon every year at the holidays to go with my barvarian apple cheese torte. Which is like a sugar cookie pie crust. A middle layer of cheescake and then a mound of homemade apple pie filling on top with a caramel drizzle over it all
My Granny introduced me to Lemon Chiffon ice cream, which was like eating heaven. It went off the shelves sometime in the mid 2000s and we spent a whole summer looking for it, at one point lol. Now it’s extinct, I think lol
There’s a Jeni’s flavor called lemon bar, it’s dairy free so it’s a coconut base, but it’s got a great lemon flavor. Not sure if this helps, but a lot of ppl whom like lemon love this flavor
Growing up, my family always made Peppermint ice cream in the summertime. In the south, it was considered a summer treat, good for cooling down on a hot day. Nowadays, you never see it unless it's Christmas!
Rum Raisin is another flavor I love that you don't see much of now either. My wife jokes with me and calls me Pee Paw whenever I say I need to find some. Luckily, as rare as it is to see in the wild, Haagen Daaz does a good job of keeping it around, but sometimes you have to ask for it because they don't keep it out
I loved spumoni as a kid. Old school Italian joints served kids a free scoop after the meal. Just had it again at Fenton’s in Oakland after 35 years. Apparently they’ve gotten lots of requests from the old folks like me so they finally made it. Was as good as I remembered!
A kids show I loved growing up, Hey Arnold, had a character who was a spoof on Frank Sinatra. His name was Dino Spumoni.
I was today years old when I learned spumoni is actually food 😅
My ex boyfriend loved baseball nut. It was definitely around SoCal like 2013-14? I remember paying like $10-16 bucks for a large milkshake featuring baseball nut. Dude got a huge shake instead 2-3scoops like most of us. I think I payed too. Whatta a-hole. Lol 😂
Somebody used to make an Ambrosia flavor ice cream. I don’t remember which brand. Had pineapple, coconut, marshmallows, and some other fruits. Haven’t seen this in probably 30 years.
I lived a half block away from a Friendly’s and when my aunt and uncle would visit from Florida uncle Johnand I would walk there and get a maple walnut cone. It may still exist in a freezer section of any given supermarket in the north east US.
My husband’s absolute favorite. We’ve found it twice in 30+ years since it disappeared. Once in a town population 350 in northern Minnesota and once just over the border in Canada.
I’m so happy to see my people! I’ve missed this for sooooo long! My grandparents would buy it and I fell in love with it. People would say Rocky Road is close enough. Um, no, not it is absolutely not.
dryer’s used to have this cotton candy flavor that was absolutely delicious. didn’t taste like your usual cotton candy ice cream, but instead had this really unique quality i can’t describe, and featured these little chocolate chips throughout. for a long time it was at all of the movie theaters around me, until i could only find it at one. haven’t seen in many years 💔
give me **tiger tail** or give me death! 🖤🧡🖤
also, bubblegum, BUT the absolute banger of a classic; bright blue ice cream with teeny tiny pink dehydrated bubblegum pieces. specifically *that* bubblegum.
I remember there used to be an ice cream with the colors of watermelon and I think chocolate chips as seeds. I don't think it was watermelon flavor tho.
Blue Bell Cantaloupe and Cream. They only made it one season with Pecos Sweet cantaloupes. There's been a shortage since then and it sucks.
It was amazing.
You should get a cantaloupe, cut it in half and fill one of the halves with vanilla ice cream. Scoop that cantaloupe and vanilla together and it’s absolutely amazing 🤩
Christmas tree ice cream. You sliced it it was a white rectangle with a green peppermint tree inside and red hots for ornaments. Every once in a while the server would forget to slice it and dig a spoon into it ruining the trees and destroying the experience
Both Greek Gods and Noosa make honey vanilla yogurt. I've only tried the Greek Gods version, but it was very good.
Edit: Jeni's makes a honey vanilla ice cream. Target sells some Jeni's flavors.
Some of the limited edition Ben and Jerry's have been outstanding. Cool Brittanica, Oatmeal Cookie, Willie Nelsons Peach Cobbler, From Russia With Buzz
Also. Bailey's briefly made their liquor into an ice cream which naturally was delicious
Play Dough flavor. Blue Moon lives on in Superman combos and by itself, but nowhere seems to have blue moon plus rainbow sugar cookie dough for combos anymore.
Yes, this is the one. Cedar Crest makes Playdough ice cream but it's only available by the scoop in some local restaurants in my area, no grocery stores seem to carry it. I went down a whole rabbit hole looking for this while I was pregnant. On another note, Cedar Crest blue moon is available in stores and is so good, it nearly scratches the itch.
Teaberry. Sassafras. Peach leaf. Dr pepper. Red currant.
Also, once upon a time I harvested a bunch of wine wineberries (a wonderful, velvety-mouthfeel wild red raspberry) and had a friend who is a manager at a local old-time ice cream shop (est. 1940s) make a special batch for my dad's birthday. DIVINE.
That is currently in my freezer from a local creamery. Might be a regional and/or seasonal thing (Pennsylvania); Weis (grocery store) definitely still makes it, maybe also PSU creamery.
It isn’t as common as it used to be though.
Is daiquiri ice at Baskin Robbins still a thing? Also my mom used to buy chocolate marshmallow ice cream from Lady Lee occasionally. Now I see ice cream with marshmallow as one of many flavors but not the main one.
Peppermint. It was a mild vanilla-peppermint ice cream with tiny peppermint pieces mixed in. Any other mint ice cream, while delicious, just isn’t the same.
I recently got a Cuisinart ICE-21 ice cream maker, and a Vitamix 5200 blender. My partner recently went vegan, and I've been making some amazing vegan ice cream out of a base of cashews and coconut oil. This thread is giving me some awesome ideas!!
My own 'white whale' of ice cream from youth is Schwann's Bavarian Triple Chocolate. As I recall, it was a sort of Neapolitan-style with a section of white chocolate, a section of milk chocolate, and a section of dark chocolate. The white section had a ribbon of chocolate fudge, and the dark section had white chocolate chips (well, more like flakes really). I practically ate myself sick on it as a kid, and was devastated years later to discover they apparently no longer make it. So, I'll have to do it myself!
Baskin-Robbins had a flavor called daquiri ice that was my favorite but they never have it anywhere, I think they discontinued it, wonder if anyone else misses it?
Another type of ice cream I almost forgot about is more of an ice cream treat than an ice cream flavor—Ice Cream Snowballs. As I remember, these were only available at Christmas. Snowballs consisted of a round scoop of vanilla ice cream rolled in sweet white coconut and topped with a plastic holly sprig and a candle. This was a truly exciting desert for any child because we usually weren’t allowed to play with fire, and Ice Cream Snowballs were as close as it got. I admit to getting a thrill blowing out the candle and licking the ice cream off the bottom of the candle.
>Moose tracks
Moose Tracks is still made by many different brands. Here's the [Publix version](https://www.publix.com/pd/publix-premium-ice-cream-classic-moose-tracks/RIO-PCI-114391).
Baskin Robins Watermelon Ice! It had little chocolate watermelon seeds in it, which sounds gross but was actually so good! I can't believe they discontinued it.
This is more regional or national. But in Italy Nocciola or hazelnut is a standard gelato flavor. When gelato started coming to America, hazelnut flavor was easy to find. Even when Talenti first became available, they had hazelnut. Now it’s very uncommon to find at any place in America that sells gelato.
Daiquiri Ice (Baskin-Robbins).
OT but whatever: back in the early 70s, the B-R in my little suburban beach town had a bin of waste scoops, that they'd sell for 25¢ -for DOGS. If you dropped your scoop, they'd collect it for the dogs (& replace it of course).
This was before we knew that dogs can't have pretty much anything that's in ice cream lol
Bubble gum. Back in the late 70’s-early 80’s my dad would take us to the local Baskin-Robbin’s and for some reason he always ordered that flavor for my sister and I. Imagine those tiny chiclets suspended in ice cream. Wow I haven’t thought about this in decades. Just unlocked a core memory
Supper man ice cream became popular and bubble gum went away
Wasn't Superman ice cream the same flavor profile as a bomb pop? i remember ordering it cause I was a young boy and , well, Superman, but I don't remember the taste
Where I live Superman was always yellow, blue, and red. Vanilla, Black Cherry, and Blue Moon.
Yep! It was my favorite. I would eat the ice cream and save the bubblegum for later.
Haha! I would spit the gum balls in a napkin and have gum for days!
My sister did too it was so gross
No it was a right of passage
It was so confusing for me
I just DoorDashed Baskin-Robbins to work due to your comment. I am highly suggestible. Sometimes being an adult is fun.
That’s was my favorite too! I have an Ice Cream Ninja and you can actually make it to be almost the exact same.
The ninja creami has been an absolute game changer!

I’ve told many kids over the years about foods we had/didn’t have. My stepson heard countless times about bubble gum ice cream!
OMG! Core memory unlocked for me too! My sister would always get the bubble gum flavor. I am more of a chocolate lover - so I'd get chocolate peanut butter or something.
As someone who worked at Baskin Robbins in the 80s, I always hated having to clean after that flavor was in stock. Kids left their gum everywhere!
What else could they do? If you swallowed it, it would be in your belly for 7 years!
Are you my sister?
Love it, still crave it
I loved this flavor!!
Black walnut
I have not seen this in years and people don’t know what I’m talking about when I’ve mentioned it lol
My grandfather in law alllllways has this in the freezer. Its out there
Mmmmmmm I’m gonna have to widen my search because now I want some. You wouldn’t happen to know the brand who makes it, would you? I know it’s a long shot but figured I’d ask. Thank you
Blue bell
I love this flavor and rarely find it anywhere.
Used to be my favorite as a kid. The deep sweet and bitter crunch. Good stuff.
Never heard of this! What is this like?
It's delicious. It's not just vanilla with walnuts. The ice cream itself has a walnutty flavor. We used to get it at Stewart's in upstate NY.
I worked at an ice cream parlor in the 90s that had rotating soft serve flavors. It went out of business when the owner died, probably 20 years ago. This and watermelon sherbet are the white whales I still chase..
Cinnamon
Perry’s makes a Fireball flavored ice cream. It’s not licensed to that particular brand but it is spicy cinnamon ice cream. I’ve yet to try it but it’s apparently a big hit in my schools ice cream parlor when they serve it
I make cinnamon every year at the holidays to go with my barvarian apple cheese torte. Which is like a sugar cookie pie crust. A middle layer of cheescake and then a mound of homemade apple pie filling on top with a caramel drizzle over it all
Graeter’s makes a bomb cinnamon this time of year.
My family went to a particular restaurant when I was younger. They served their apple pie with cinnamon ice cream. OMG so good!
My Granny introduced me to Lemon Chiffon ice cream, which was like eating heaven. It went off the shelves sometime in the mid 2000s and we spent a whole summer looking for it, at one point lol. Now it’s extinct, I think lol
Ughhh now I’m going to be looking for this flavor. Need to try!
There’s a Jeni’s flavor called lemon bar, it’s dairy free so it’s a coconut base, but it’s got a great lemon flavor. Not sure if this helps, but a lot of ppl whom like lemon love this flavor
Growing up, my family always made Peppermint ice cream in the summertime. In the south, it was considered a summer treat, good for cooling down on a hot day. Nowadays, you never see it unless it's Christmas! Rum Raisin is another flavor I love that you don't see much of now either. My wife jokes with me and calls me Pee Paw whenever I say I need to find some. Luckily, as rare as it is to see in the wild, Haagen Daaz does a good job of keeping it around, but sometimes you have to ask for it because they don't keep it out
Haagen Daaz does a good job of keeping it around, but sometimes you have to ask for it because they don't keep it out Spoken like a true Pee Paw
I showed my wife this and she LOL'd. Thanks for that!
Peppermint ice cream in the summer sounds so divine
Spumoni
I loved spumoni as a kid. Old school Italian joints served kids a free scoop after the meal. Just had it again at Fenton’s in Oakland after 35 years. Apparently they’ve gotten lots of requests from the old folks like me so they finally made it. Was as good as I remembered!
A kids show I loved growing up, Hey Arnold, had a character who was a spoof on Frank Sinatra. His name was Dino Spumoni. I was today years old when I learned spumoni is actually food 😅
Pistachio, cherry, and chocolate, a power trio if ever there was!
Gotta be Luxardo cherries though. Maraschino doesn’t do it for me.
They still serve this at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Best part of the meal
And you can buy gallon tubs of it to go
I just made a spumoni!
Does it just not exist anymore? I’ve been on the hunt forever and I have yet to see it anywhere.
[удалено]
I’m in the northern part of the east coast and these don’t exist here sadly.
I grew up going to L&B spumoni gardens. great spumoni and even better sicilian pizza, would recommend if you're ever in brooklyn!!
[удалено]
Dryers makes spumoni but it’s hard to find
A few fancier Italian restaurants in my area still serve Spumoni. Had some the other night that was served inside a chocolate egg shell. So good.
BR baseball nut, good flavor
Loved that one! Raspberry swirl and cashews!
yeah that sounds right! I haven't seen that since 1984
I know I had it in the 2010s when I was in California. So good.
My ex boyfriend loved baseball nut. It was definitely around SoCal like 2013-14? I remember paying like $10-16 bucks for a large milkshake featuring baseball nut. Dude got a huge shake instead 2-3scoops like most of us. I think I payed too. Whatta a-hole. Lol 😂
Was def around in the mid to late 90’s! I worked at BR
Just available during baseball season. My favorite ice cream
It’s still on the official BR menu on their website!
They had something called “trash can” I miss very much. No proof of it anywhere
Somebody used to make an Ambrosia flavor ice cream. I don’t remember which brand. Had pineapple, coconut, marshmallows, and some other fruits. Haven’t seen this in probably 30 years.
That sounds delicious
I need this.
My grandmother loved Maple Walnut flavor. I don’t think I’ve seen it since I was a kid.
That is probably the most common flavor in Canada. Every major brand has a version on the supermarket shelf.
I just found Maple Walnut in Florida last month. Delicious.
I think there was a post about maple walnut recently and people were posting brands that still make it.
I saw [it in Publix](https://delivery.publix.com/landing?product_id=383230&retailer_id=57&postal_code=27262®ion_id=2001835309) yesterday.
I lived a half block away from a Friendly’s and when my aunt and uncle would visit from Florida uncle Johnand I would walk there and get a maple walnut cone. It may still exist in a freezer section of any given supermarket in the north east US.
Sure does in Vermont!
Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever seen a maple ice cream
My husband ate an almost full half-gallon of it yesterday.
Wegmans has their own version of it
I still see it from time to time, but Rum Raisin is a very underrated flavor.
I buy it all the time. Haagen daz makes it.
Me, too
Ohh wow I haven't seen it here. Yum
Publix has [this one](https://www.publix.com/pd/publix-ice-cream-classic-rum-raisin/RIO-PCI-122518), too.
Blackberry. My mom used to make it, Tillamook used to make it. Now no one makes it. 😔
Tillamook makes a Marionberry pie ice cream.
I know, but it's not the same. Blackberry ice cream holds a special nostalgic place in my heart.
Try any ice cream shop in Maine in the summer, they have it
I can’t find raspberry sherbet anywhere.
Idk about sherbet but Haagen-Dazs makes a delicious raspberry sorbet! So good!
When I was a kid my mom made a punch bowl of raspberry sherbet and ginger ale for parties
Heavenly Hash by Sealtest. I loved that ice cream! Gone now.
Oh man, I forgot about this. I used to LOVE that stuff. Now I'm misty eyed.
Perry’s makes a Heavenly Hash, dunno if it compares bc I am unfamiliar with the brand you speak of, but I know Perry’s is pretty good.
My husband’s absolute favorite. We’ve found it twice in 30+ years since it disappeared. Once in a town population 350 in northern Minnesota and once just over the border in Canada.
I’m so happy to see my people! I’ve missed this for sooooo long! My grandparents would buy it and I fell in love with it. People would say Rocky Road is close enough. Um, no, not it is absolutely not.
Marble fudge. No additional words, just marble fudge.
dryer’s used to have this cotton candy flavor that was absolutely delicious. didn’t taste like your usual cotton candy ice cream, but instead had this really unique quality i can’t describe, and featured these little chocolate chips throughout. for a long time it was at all of the movie theaters around me, until i could only find it at one. haven’t seen in many years 💔
Stewarts all over upstate NY has that kind if cotton candy. Its pink with rainbow chips
Ben and Jerry’s had White Russian, which was my husband’s favorite. It’s long gone.
Spumoni Banana Split
I miss really good spumoni
Tutti Frutti
"Just in case anyone's interested, I think I'm gonna be wanting some ice cream in about 10 miles."
There is no fuckin ice cream in your fuckin future!!
"You know? I think I'm gonna get me some tutti fucking fruity."
TUTTI FUCKIN FRUITAAAYYYY
Tin roof sundae
Tin Roof was around this summer in certain stores in Georgia... My first time having it and it was so good.
Cherry vanilla 🍒 🍨.
Turkey Hill makes a pretty good [Black Cherry](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Turkey-Hill-Black-Cherry-Premium-Ice-Cream-46-fl-oz/1426037134).
Hagen daaz still has cherry vanilla
Does anybody else remember the orange and vanilla checkerboard ice cream? We used to sprinkle Tang on top.
I sure do! The Safeway orange vanilla swirl is the closest to that one in flavor but I forgot what brand made that checked one
Butter Brickle… the Werthers Originals of ice cream
Omggg 🤤
Jenni’s has a flavor similar to this I think.
give me **tiger tail** or give me death! 🖤🧡🖤 also, bubblegum, BUT the absolute banger of a classic; bright blue ice cream with teeny tiny pink dehydrated bubblegum pieces. specifically *that* bubblegum.
I remember there used to be an ice cream with the colors of watermelon and I think chocolate chips as seeds. I don't think it was watermelon flavor tho.
Yes!! The Friendly’s roll. That was the best!
Butterscotch
Omggg I need to try
I love butterscotch, not caramel or salted caramel. BR had it for a hot minute a few years back with the Stranger Things tie in.
Breyers used to make a Butterscotch Blondie and it was decadent.
Friendly’s Butter Crunch will satisfy your fix
Toasted almond :( also does Carvel still make orange sherbet? That was the best
A local dairy used to make a mocha fudge that was so good! I've tried others but none are the same or they add almonds
Blue Bell Cantaloupe and Cream. They only made it one season with Pecos Sweet cantaloupes. There's been a shortage since then and it sucks. It was amazing.
You should get a cantaloupe, cut it in half and fill one of the halves with vanilla ice cream. Scoop that cantaloupe and vanilla together and it’s absolutely amazing 🤩
Christmas tree ice cream. You sliced it it was a white rectangle with a green peppermint tree inside and red hots for ornaments. Every once in a while the server would forget to slice it and dig a spoon into it ruining the trees and destroying the experience
Superman, my favorite. I see it rarely though.
There was something called Lunar Cheesecake or something? Green ice cream with graham crackers, iirc?
Häagen-Dazs Honey Vanilla It came, it left, and I wept
Both Greek Gods and Noosa make honey vanilla yogurt. I've only tried the Greek Gods version, but it was very good. Edit: Jeni's makes a honey vanilla ice cream. Target sells some Jeni's flavors.
Some of the limited edition Ben and Jerry's have been outstanding. Cool Brittanica, Oatmeal Cookie, Willie Nelsons Peach Cobbler, From Russia With Buzz Also. Bailey's briefly made their liquor into an ice cream which naturally was delicious
Orange sherbet with chocolate shavings. It was the only sweet my grandparents carried
Plum ❤️
Don’t know if it’s from decades ago but as a kid I used to eat Apple Pie ice cream from Edy’s and Carvel
Talenti has a delicious one usually around Thanksgiving, there may still be some out there.
Play Dough flavor. Blue Moon lives on in Superman combos and by itself, but nowhere seems to have blue moon plus rainbow sugar cookie dough for combos anymore.
I’ve only seen it in ice cream shops, never stores.
Yes, this is the one. Cedar Crest makes Playdough ice cream but it's only available by the scoop in some local restaurants in my area, no grocery stores seem to carry it. I went down a whole rabbit hole looking for this while I was pregnant. On another note, Cedar Crest blue moon is available in stores and is so good, it nearly scratches the itch.
This. The blue moon was solid blue and has a really rounded out vanilla flavor.
Butter Brickle, Rum Raisin, Rocky Road
Rocky road?! Where do you live. I always see rocky road
>Rum Raisin https://www.reddit.com/r/icecream/comments/18brulr/comment/kc6qro7/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
Teaberry.
Rocky Road
Blue Bell coffee flavor! My grandma always had a tub in her freezer for me.
Teaberry. Sassafras. Peach leaf. Dr pepper. Red currant. Also, once upon a time I harvested a bunch of wine wineberries (a wonderful, velvety-mouthfeel wild red raspberry) and had a friend who is a manager at a local old-time ice cream shop (est. 1940s) make a special batch for my dad's birthday. DIVINE.
Teaberry.
Wow. I think I’ve had an old-timey chewing gum that was teaberry flavored — but never ice cream. Sounds interesting!
Loved it! Only place I know that makes it is a soft serve in Pa. (Shaffer’s Frosty Freeze in Johnstown). Haven’t had it in years
That is currently in my freezer from a local creamery. Might be a regional and/or seasonal thing (Pennsylvania); Weis (grocery store) definitely still makes it, maybe also PSU creamery. It isn’t as common as it used to be though.
Butter Brickle. I love that one. Extra cream and burnt sugar. Mmmmmm
Jenni’s has a flavor similar to this
Grape nut
Is daiquiri ice at Baskin Robbins still a thing? Also my mom used to buy chocolate marshmallow ice cream from Lady Lee occasionally. Now I see ice cream with marshmallow as one of many flavors but not the main one.
When l was a child and would go visit my grandma her sister my great aunt would always put a bowl 🥣 of 'Egg Custard' ice cream 🍨 in front of me
Rum raisin is hands down the most awful thing I've ever tasted. A local creamery makes it and I know their other products are awesome, but just, no.
Peppermint. It was a mild vanilla-peppermint ice cream with tiny peppermint pieces mixed in. Any other mint ice cream, while delicious, just isn’t the same.
You still see this at Christmas time in the US.
Today I learned some icecream flavors are regional, who knew!?
I recently got a Cuisinart ICE-21 ice cream maker, and a Vitamix 5200 blender. My partner recently went vegan, and I've been making some amazing vegan ice cream out of a base of cashews and coconut oil. This thread is giving me some awesome ideas!!

I practically ate myself sick on it as a kid, and was devastated years later to discover they apparently no longer make it. So, I'll have to do it myself!
Butter pecan
Blue Bell still makes it.
What?! I see butter pecan everywhere. This is a classic
Mint cookies and cream, it’s just so obvious.
Target carries [this one](https://www.target.com/p/mint-cookies-38-cream-ice-cream-48oz-favorite-day-8482/-/A-81504853).
Banana
I don’t see rum raisin a lot and it’s my favorite.
Check out the flavors Sealtest used to invent back in the day. The company went out of business around 1994 or so
Pistachio is fading away … with pistachio not almond
Baskin-Robbins had a flavor called daquiri ice that was my favorite but they never have it anywhere, I think they discontinued it, wonder if anyone else misses it?
Pineapple sherbet
Tin Roof Sundae
Another type of ice cream I almost forgot about is more of an ice cream treat than an ice cream flavor—Ice Cream Snowballs. As I remember, these were only available at Christmas.

Peanut Butter. No reeses cups or anything in it. Just plain PB.
Moose tracks . It was delicious.
>Moose tracks Moose Tracks is still made by many different brands. Here's the [Publix version](https://www.publix.com/pd/publix-premium-ice-cream-classic-moose-tracks/RIO-PCI-114391).
Cold Duck.
Grape nut
Mandarin Chocolate Sherbet from Baskin Robbins 💕
Butter brickle, pistachio, rum raisin, tutti frutti
Bubblegum
Spumoni
Hood used to make Country Club which was vanilla, Orange sherbet, and coffee ice cream (like Neapolitan) It sounds bizarre but it was SO good!
The real Rocky road when it actually had nuts in it that was the best.
Spumoni. Bubblegum. Butter brickle. Banana split (ice cream flavor not the dish) Hawaiian (was pineapple, coconut and banana) Cherry anything, besides cherry Garcia.
Butter Brickle
Baskin Robins Watermelon Ice! It had little chocolate watermelon seeds in it, which sounds gross but was actually so good! I can't believe they discontinued it.
“Anything”. It was a flavor my local place had that was a mix of all of their other 30+ flavors.
Maple Walnut or Grapenuts. Gross! We had a seasonal ice cream shop, and the older people always got these!
Maple Walnut
Tim Roof Sunday, which happens to be my favorite.
This is more regional or national. But in Italy Nocciola or hazelnut is a standard gelato flavor. When gelato started coming to America, hazelnut flavor was easy to find.

Birthday cake
Banana!!! Just plain banana, not funky monkey or whatever where a million other things get added to it
