International sighting: Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Nougat Crunch/ Chocolate Therapy
Posted: 10:10 Sun 15-Apr-2012. Location: Shoreline, WA, USA.
Fascinatingly, Chocolate Therapy was available in the UK (if not on the NHS) about 6 years ago, but as regular correspondent "Graham" reports: B+J have gone overboard on the chocolate with their newest US flavours. Nougat Crunch is their usual sweet cream ice cream, bits of wafer cookies and a tasty chocolate nougat swirl, but while it's not bad it's actually not all that different from their Americone Dream. Chocolate Therapy, meanwhile, is just chocolate cubed - chocolate ice cream with cookies and a chocolate pudding ice cream swirl. I like my chocolate, but even that is a bit too much for me.
...In other Unilever revelations: Solero Fruit Ice Pineapple is apparently "the only lolly product on the market made with real fruit pieces"; real fruit chunks are also a highlight of Strawberry flavour Carte D'Or (also now available in an Amaretto, Vanilla and Chocolate SKU); and light-brown coloured ice cream seems to be the distinguishing characteristic of this year's new Cornetto Enigma Yummy Cookie Flavour (about £1.50 or something in Tesco). Elsewhere, a promising contender for Worst Product Name Of 2012 arrives in the form of Haagen-Dazs Secret Sensations, echoing the unintentional hilarity of Surf's Twilight Sensations detergent and Primark's Secret Possessions underwear range.
