Ranking Ben and Jerrys Flavors 20-16

Well we have finally made it to the top half of the rankings, and now these flavors are starting to get really good.

20. Liz Lemon: The second of three frozen yogurt flavors on this countdown, this is simply lemon ice cream (frozen yogurt) with a lavender swirl. The lavender swirl really doesnt add any taste, so its really just lemon ice cream, which would normally lead to a low ranking due to blandness, but this lemon flavor is delicious. It reminded me of frozen lemonade, and it is quite impressive for such a simple flavor to get this high in the rankings.
19. Strawberry shortcake: The third and final frozen yogurt flavor. Strawberry ice cream with shortcake cookie pieces. The cookie pieces are perfect, in size, texture, and taste. This is the only flavor where I added something myself, and I threw graham crackers into this and it made it unbelievably good. Unfortunately the graham cracker part doesnt contribute to these rankings since its technically not part of the flavor.
18. Nutty Caramel Swirl: An exclusive flavor only available at 7-11. This is a very busy flavor chock full of mix ins. Nougat ice cream with peanuts, fudge flakes and a caramel swirl. I am on the record as saying I dont like nuts or fudge flakes in my ice cream, but in this flavor together with caramel and nougat ice cream. Why? Because these are all the ingredients of a Snickers, which is what this flavor basically is, Snickers in ice cream form. Sound amazing? it is. The only problem is the caramel swirl is really subtle, if it were a little more bold this could have been a top ten flavor. The peanuts are also unsalted, if they were salted we may be talking top five.
17. Half Baked: Now were really getting into the good stuff as this is the first flavor that is part of my "rotation" as in flavors I buy regularly while all the previous flavors I have only bought once. This is a mix of chocolate and vanilla ice cream with brownie and cookie dough. Really good, just a little to straight forward to be ranked higher.
16. Berry Voluntary: Sadly, this flavor has been discontinued, but the flavor that replaced it is even better as we'll see it later in this countdown. Raspberry cheesecake ice cream, with a rasperry swirl and white chocolate chunks. The swirl and ice cream flavor sync perfectly together and the white chocolate is a unique mix in, its the only flavor on this countdown that has it. White chocolate isnt as good as regular, but it worked perfectly for this delicious, sadly extinct flavor.
