thinking about festivus today...the ice cream, not the holiday. not that i don't care about the holiday, i just have an, um, well, kind of an obsession with the ice cream. haven't seen it yet this year, but north carolina has a pitiful ben and jerry's selection. i've only seen osw in ONE store. usually each grocery store has only 5 or 6 flavors and one frozen yogurt. :(

checked out the ben and jerry's site, no info. did find something interesting on the UK b&j site - an ice cream spade! free! i wonder if they'd send me one here in the states. see? they are supporting digging out all the good stuff. i confess, i am guilty of searching out the chocolate hunks, gooey swirls, crunchy stuff...the ice cream is there to hold all that stuff together, isn't it?

they also have an UK flavor that i would love - caramel chew chew. "swirls of caramel and chocolate-covered caramel chunks swimming in a sea of caramel ice cream." i wonder if it would melt if i tried to get it shipped from overseas? ;)

haha, on the one sweet whirled page for france, there's a link for 'le dave matthews band' :) i find it odd, though, that the names of the ice creams in france are still the 'american' names - i know there are french words for 'chocolate' 'berry' 'monkey' - well, maybe not 'vermonty', but still...
