Some of us can mow down ice cream and cold drinks year-round. Others prefer the weather to be the opposite of their food's ideal temperature. But why complicate matters? It's ICE CREAM!!

These flavors used to be the (ice)cream of the crop, but are now rarely found. Sad face.

Once-Popular Ice Cream Flavors You Hardly Ever See Anymore...Anywhere

#1: Tutti Frutti

Italian for "all fruits", Tutti Frutti was the wop of ice cream flavors...which is multiple-layers of WTF, because "wop" is also an insult to someone of Italian descent.

Tutti Frutti ice cream used to be a BFD, but is now a niche flavor that can only appears infrequently.

#2: Teaberry

Teaberry-flavored treats peaked in the 1960s. Teaberries are found on wintergreen plants. Teaberry ice cream looks (and apparently tastes) like frozen Pepto Bismol. Great for nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach...

#3: Butter Brickle

NOT THE SAME AS BUTTER PECAN (allegedly). You'll have to brave the southern states to find genuine butter brickle ice cream. Although if you eat ice cream with toffee in it, you're close.

#4: Black Walnut

"Unusual" and "earthy" are often not flavors we seek out when it comes to ice cream. Black Walnut ice cream was a BFD in the 1950s until they figured out that ice cream shouldn't taste "earthy".

If you live near a Harris Teeter grocery store (if you're in Minnesota, you don't), you can still find black walnut ice cream.

#5: Tin Roof

Based on the Tin Roof Sundae created in Nebraska in the 1930s, Tin Roof ice cream has:

vanilla ice cream
chocolate ice cream
chocolate syrup
roasted Spanish peanuts
marshmallow sauce
diabetes

#6: Parmesan

WHOA WHOA WHOA hold on, hoss...parmesan ice cream?! Yes, and founding daddy George Washington loved the stuff. Parmesan became a popular ice cream flavor in the 1700s because it was one of the few European ingredients that would survive the boat trek across the ocean without completely rotting. We have Kraft Macaroni & Cheese ice cream now, so it's not a far-fetched idea.

You can make your own parmesan ice cream with this 200+-year-old recipe.

What other of your favorite flavors have gone the way of the dodo? I vote: BUTTERSCOTCH.

Do You Remember These Girl Scout Cookie Flavors?

Can You Remember Your Favorite Girl Scout Cookie growing up?

As much as we enjoy Girl Scout Cookies in 2023, we often miss the ones that we used to love growing up. Have you heard of my personal favorite Girl Scout Cookies that are now retired?

Thanks-A-Lots

Shortbread cookies are always a win. This Girl Scout Cookie was dipped in chocolate and it also had a friendly message on it. It had the words "Thank You" on it.

Ole Oles

These powdered sugar cookies were delicious. They also had pecans and coconut mixed in and were reduced fat.

Lemon Chalet Creme

This was one of my favorite lemon cookies to ever exist. How could a lemon sandwich cookie ever go wrong? The added cinnamon and ginger made it one of a kind.

Juliettes,

I remember that these cookies were named after the founder of The Girl Scouts, Juliette Low. It reminded me of a chocolate turtle with its being covered in caramel, pecans and milk chocolate.

Ra Ra Raisens

This was unlike your ordinary raisin cookie. This Girl Scout Cookie brought in oatmeal and yogurt chips with the raisins.

Savannah Smiles

This Girl Scout Cookie knew how to put a smile on your face. They were lemon wedge cookies with powdered sugar.

Which Girl Scout Cookies Are Your Favorite?

I loved the Girl Scout Cookies that were discontinued but also enjoy the present day one as well.
