Ben & Jerry's

Ben & Jerry's ice cream was founded by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield and has now been brought by Unilever. They met in school and several years later after many unsuccessful and unenjoyed jobs they both attended a $5.00 course in ice cream making and after investing $12,000 they then opened their first 'scoop shop' in a gas station in Burlington, Vermont in 1978. It didn't take long for them to become very ... ...brands of ice cream. Ben and Jerry's along with Hagen Daaz have always been my favourite ice creams, and apart from the flavours with nuts in, I love them all but Bohemian Raspberry is my favourite.

Advantages: Well known maker, high quality product...See review for full details. Disadvantages: Cost, not as good as other flavours...See review for full details.
...short review for you on Ben and Jerry's 'New' Bohemian Raspberry flavoured ice cream. Many of you will know just how funky B&J's products are (and quite experimental, too, considering the things they mix in), and this one is no different. The name given to the flavour - "Bohemian Raspberry" - is, as if you haven't realised already, a clever play on words of the famous song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by the British rock band Queen. The name seems quite kinky ... ...lover like me perfectly.
Ben and Jerry's Bohemian Raspberry usually comes in a 500 ml strengthened plastic tub/jar (like many of their other flavours). According to their maker, it 'officially' sells in (among others) Morrisons, TESCO and, of course, Blockbuster. However, I have noticed smaller tubs of Ben and Jerry's ice cream (although I am not too sure whether they were of this flavour) on sale at smaller retailers and some local corner shops. ...

Advantages: tastes amazing, easy to find Disadvantages: It contains a lot of cream
...prefer then without a doubt Ben and Jerry's every time.
Ben and Jerry's ice-cream has been around for 30 years now although not being that old, i've only really used it for two or three years when suddenly it became popular and replaced the hype that came and went with Haaagan Daz. Ben and Jerry's are like a lot of companies these days, they only use the best ingredients including free range eggs and they source most of their ingredients and products ... ...100's and 1000's. With Ben and Jerry's they do an amazing range of flavours and usually I would opt for cookie dough which has been one of my favourites for a very long time or if I am feeling like I shouldn't be too naughty I opt for one of the lower fat ice-creams which is usually Strawberry cheesecake, both of which I have to admit are equally tasty.
So, the freezer is empty of ice-cream and on a trip to the supermarket I am found in the ice-cream ...

...been a huge fan of Ben and Jerry's I remember going shopping one day, and having the option of either picking up a tub of Häagen-Dazs when I saw a brand by the name of Ben and Jerry's. Having never tried there brand before I figured it was time for a change and picked up a tube of Ben and Jerry's strawberry cheesecake. Ever since that moment I have become obsessed with their brand of ice cream. I will be the first to admit that although it can be ... ...for everyone.
History of Ben and Jerry's:
Ben and Jerry's was first established in 1978, when two university friends invested $12,000 to make a homemade ice cream scoop shop. The following years they created several flavours of ice creams, and made several shops from used gas stations. In 1983, Ben and Jerry have created its first out of state ice cream store in Portland, Maine. By the end of 1999, Ben and Jerry's net income exceeded $237 million, ...

Advantages: Too many to list! the flavour and charity donations are the biggest advantages Disadvantages: the price, but its worth it!
...the week was a new Ben and Jerry's ice cream I knew it was perfect for my very first product of the week review!
I have always loved Ben and Jerry's delicious flavours of ice cream and think I must have tried them all by now, so when I saw they had brought out a new flavour I headed to the shops. I found this new Bohemian Raspberry flavour in my local tesco. A bit of history...
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield opened their very first ice cream store ... ...Bohemian Raspberry is the latest Ben and Jerry's rock concoction, the name being inspired by Queens Bohemian Rhapsody. I was also interested to discover after some googling, that Ben and Jerry's are donating 10 pence from every tub sold to the Mercury Pheonix Trust, which is an Aids charity set up in Freddie Mercury's memory. So not only is it a fantastic ice cream, it is a fantastic tribute to the late great Freddie Mercury and a great way to raise ...

...the past i've tried some Ben & Jerry's flavours, being, "Caramel Chew Chew", "Chocolate fudge brownie" and more recently the low fat version of the strawberry cheesecake!

_COST;_
Ben and Jerry's are not a cheap brand name, and this one was no exception! At time of purchase a 500ml tub of this ice cream costed a whopping £3.99! Similar companys, are near enough the same price. Infact Hagen Daz's equivalant costs the exact same price. However Carte D'or would only set you back £2.49, this time for 900ml. 10 pence of each £3.99 is put towards the ...

...As an avid fan of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream and my addiction to any brand of rasperry ripple ice-cream I almost starting jumping for joy in the ice-cream aisle at Tesco when I saw Ben & Jerry's Bohemian Raspberry for sale a few months ago! "This.....I have GOT to try"
== So what is it? ==
Basically, Ben & Jerry's Bohemian Raspberry has been introduced as a tribute to the legendary band Queen and their awesome tune "Bohemian Rapsody" - clever pun! ... ...you who are aware of Ben & Jerry's ice-cream you will appreciate just how lovely their ice-cream is anyway.
The raspberry swirls are not a constant flow of raspberry tasting but you get flashes of it throughout your spoonfuls. The raspberry flavours are simply delicious - they are very sweet and flavoursome yet not too "in your face". It jumps out at you a little but it doesn't make you pull a face at the sourness that some raspberry flvaoured foods ...

...a very avid fan of Ben & Jerrys ice cream. I don't buy it much at the shops but always get a tub/sundae/milkshake when I go to the cinema (which is about twice a week) so I was chuffed to see that one of the flavours is product of the week!

The texture of the ice cream is thick and smooth, I find that is does melt fairly quickly but it doesn't go watery like some cheaper ice creams. It is easy to scoop out of the tub.
The raspberry swirls are a mix of blackberry as well as raspberry which gives them a darker ...

Advantages: Creamy, good tasting. Disadvantages: The marketing ploy, price.
Hmmmm. I just bought this from my local supermarket on my weekly stock-up shop. I have to say before I begin that I'm not actually a huge fan of ice-cream; it gives me a headache, it's cold and I already live in the UK (cold enough already thank you) and it hurts my teeth (not sure whose fault that is- no fillings by the way).
Anyway, as far as ice cream goes I have no problems with this- it tastes like it ought to ie. rasperry, is suitably creamy, ... ...that actually fits in the freezer.
I'm not going to go into the list of ingredients beacuse, personally, I don't care about that and I'm sure there are plenty of other superbly detailed reviews out there which have done little more than copy the ingredients off the side of the tub and told us how much they bought it on offer for. What I will say is that it has nothing evidently nasty in it and it really is ice cream rather than frozen water and ...

Advantages: Great flavour and not too sickly, great with fresh Raspberries Disadvantages: Baically the same as the old "Glastonberry" flavour
...great flavour from the great Ben & Jerry! It is based on their tried and tested formula of " putting stuff into vanilla ice cream " this flavour is basically yummy fudge brownie pieces with raspberry sauce swirls in their great vanilla ice-cream base. It is actually very similar to the " Glastonberry " flavour which was out not so long ago, although I'm sure the fudge brownie pieces are better in this one. As with all great Ben & jerry's flavours ... ...the tub! This is definitely worth a try the fudge brownie and raspberry flavours work really well together with out being too sweet. Also goes really well with some fresh raspberries for a healthier twist. Is definitely available at Sainsbury's and I'm sure I saw it in Tesco too ...

Typical Ben and Jerry! They've done it again, I'm addicted to another ice-cream!
