Why did Ben & Jerry's stop making "Rainforest Crunch"?

[Informant X]

Man that ice cream was sooooo good, i was wondering why they stopped making that flavor. Anyone know why?

Wouldn't surprise me if some environmentalist lunatic complained about it.

*Using the rainforest to sell your product. DIE you corporate scum*

 

[Informant X]

Heh, anyone know for sure?

I don't know for sure, but it's probably the same reason for retiring their other flavors: not enough of that flavor selling, make space for new flavors.

I think it had ground up Gorilla in it.

My favorite is/was Cool Brittania. I haven't seen it anywhere in awhile..maybe it got axed as well.

Didn't they sell to Proctor and Gamble anyway?

 

[glen]

nope....Unilever

most likely, they decided that the rainforest wasnt ever in danger, that it was just a product of tree-hugging hippies looking for a cause.

anyways, yeah... ben and jerry's went downhill quite a bit... I also loved 'Cool Brittania'
in my supermarket, all you can get is like 'Peanut Butter Cup' and 'Phish Food'. Both of which are okay, but I'll get a 1/2 gallon of Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip for the same price.
