Apparently today is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. I’m not sure who keeps inventing these food related holidays, but I’m definitely OK with any excuse to eat more ice cream.
To help celebrate, the folks over at Starbucks (who have been selling coffee inspired ice cream in grocery stores since 1995) are giving five lucky DudeFoods readers each a coupon for a free pint of the rich, creamy goodness that is their ice cream.
Wanna win? Just leave a comment on this blog post and let me know what your favorite ice cream flavor is. It doesn’t have to be one of the Starbucks flavors or anything like that, just your favorite flavor in general. Although as I type this I just happen to be eating some Starbucks Signature Hot Chocolate ice cream that they sent me and it IS pretty delicious….
Do you enjoy the mixture of nuts and marshmallow that’s known to the world as rocky road? Perhaps you prefer the simpleness that only a flavor like vanilla or chocolate can provide. Either way, let me know in the comments below! I’ll pick five random winners at 8pm tonight. Good luck!
Update: 6/8/2012 — Congratulations to Jonathan, ronnie1260, Shockerer, Rebecca and Robert who each won a pint of Starbucks ice cream!
Brandon
June 7, 2012 at 9:42 am (13 years ago)Vanilla with candy jimmies is the best.
Brian
June 7, 2012 at 9:47 am (13 years ago)Chocolate chip cookie dough is and will always be my favorite!
Ashley
June 7, 2012 at 9:51 am (13 years ago)I’ve actually had that Starbucks hot chocolate ice cream before and it was pretty good
Emily
June 7, 2012 at 9:56 am (13 years ago)Chocolate with marshmallow swirl – preferably in the giant pail w/a handle. Sadly I can’t find that anymore in the MKE area!
tom
June 7, 2012 at 9:59 am (13 years ago)Is it rude to say that I prefer custard to ice cream? I’d still take a free pint though!
Shockerer
June 7, 2012 at 10:01 am (13 years ago)Pretty much anything with Chocolate, Peanut Butter, or Cookie Dough. Preferably all three.
Sarah
June 7, 2012 at 10:03 am (13 years ago)Hands down the best ice cream flavor is Blue Moon.
Carol
June 7, 2012 at 10:12 am (13 years ago)Pistachio. My absolute all time favorite. Thanks for the giveaway.

Jake
June 7, 2012 at 10:23 am (13 years ago)Going extreme here – Kopps illusive ‘Bananarama’ flavor is ridiculous. Banana custard with ribbons of peanut butter and studded with Hershey’s chocolate chips.
Nick

Rick
June 7, 2012 at 10:23 am (13 years ago)Java Chip!

Brad
June 7, 2012 at 10:39 am (13 years ago)Do ice cream sandwiches count? Because if they do that’s where my vote is going!
Nick
June 7, 2012 at 11:40 am (13 years ago)I haven’t had an ice cream sandwich in forever and now I want one! And yes, I’ll count them as a vote!
Beau
June 7, 2012 at 10:39 am (13 years ago)This is tough, I’ve got a lot that I like. At the same time I think that if I had to choose I’d select chocolate with little peanut butter cups in it.
jessunavailable
June 7, 2012 at 1:03 pm (13 years ago)Oh heck yeah. Elephant tracks by Cedar Crest was practically part of my genetic makeup growing up. I wont lie, I was a fat kid.

jd
June 7, 2012 at 11:06 am (13 years ago)although I’m partial to vanilla, if I want a kick im going with cake batter or cookies and cream and if I’m really feeling wild I’m going with a new found favorite of coffee icecream with oreos

June 7, 2012 at 11:07 am (13 years ago)Praline YUM!
Erin
June 7, 2012 at 11:07 am (13 years ago)There was a Skinny Cow chocolate peanut butter ice cream that was fricken amazing but I cannot find it anymore. 🙁 had it only once and it was over! But since I can’t find it, my next fav would be either Ben & Jerrys Americone Dream or just plain ol mint chocolate chip!
