MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does Ben & Jerry’s do with their retired flavors?

Today (June 21) is the official first day of summer, which means it’s time to eat lots of ice cream.

We’ve all seen the different flavors of Ben & Jerry’s come and go from the frozen aisle of the grocery store. But what do they do with all the flavors that don’t stand the test of time? They make an ice cream graveyard of course.

Yup. It’s filled with all the discontinued ice cream flavors. Each former flavor has its own photo and as well as its life span of when it was available. They even have an epitaph with each one for people to remember it by.

Amazing.
