Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day

The most unusual ice cream flavor was invented in Arizona, U.S.A. It was made from hot dogs! Obviously, it did not become a top-selling flavor. The popular brand, Ben & Jerry's" receives about 13,000 flavor suggestions from fans every year and according to their PR department, "we read all of them- even the weird ones." Apparently someone in the Ben and Jerry's product development department had the foresight to forego on the Hot Dog flavor.

My two granddaughters are visiting so I will be on and off for the next day or two!

colorful shot ~ hot dog ice cream sounds awful!

[Suzanne]

Oh Yuk. My favourite is macadamia!

[Carole Sandford]

A savoury flavour seems at odds with the usual sweet flavour of ice cream!

[Anne]

So glad they didn’t pursue the hot dog idea! Always interesting to see what is in shops in other parts of the world

[Shutterbug]

Enjoy your granddaughters. We’ll still be here. Interesting info. I will definitely steer clear of hotdog flavored.

[Joan Robillard]

I like hot dogs but not as an ice cream

[katy]

That’s a definite nope from me! Great shot of these dogs, but I cannot imagine it as a flavor for ice cream

[winghong_ho]

Strange flavor to me.

[Barb]

Too weird!! LOL

[Diane]

Hot dog ice cream sounds awful! Have a good time with your granddaughters.

[Diana]

Enjoy your time with the kids.

[Issi Bannerman]

I'm so traditional with my ice cream choices! Savoury doesn't go with ice cream!!

[Kathy]

Yuck! As much as I like hot dog , I wouldn't want them in my ice cream.

Thank you all for the views and humorous comments! I admit I'd probably taste a small spoonful of it just to confirm that it's truly as horrible as it sounds- but that would be it!

Thankfully I've never seen it in a shop- but apparently it was manufactured and sold- I have no idea who would buy it, but someone did!

[Dorothy]

Have fun with your granddaughters. I’ll say NO to hot dog ice cream!
