Pumpkin, yum!

I have looked EVERYWHERE (at least five stores in my area) for the Ben & Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream and have continuously come up empty handed. So today being the intense person I can be at times I decided to contact B&J and see where in Dallas I might find this delicious flavor. I called up and the person I spoke with could not have been any sweeter. She was so helpful and said she was unable to give me an exact list of what particular stores Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream could be found in as it was a limited edition flavor. However, she was able to tell me what chains were carrying the flavor; hooray! Since I know many of you all are also pumpkin obsessed I wanted to share the following with you. Hopefully you will not have to run around to every store in a five mile radius looking with this knowledge: Walmart, Publix and Safeway are all carrying the flavor. I stopped by my Neighborhood Market Walmart tonight to pick some up and it is already sold out! I tried to ask the help when another shipment was coming in, however no one knew. Looks like I will be frequenting the store because I am on a mission to add several pints of Pumpkin Cheesecake to my fridge!
PS- Thanks to all your comments and advice I have been able to narrow the dress search down to two. I am still in the midst of my little debate (it does not even begin to compare to the wonderful show on TV this evening!), but I should decide this evening and will make sure to post tomorrow.

I noticed you live in the Dallas area. Did you know Tom Thumb was a part of the Safeway Corp? Maybe Tom Thumb will have the Pumpkin Cheesecake flavor??? It sounds SO good; I'll be looking for it in Hou.

Mmm- I've never seen this flavor before but will be on the lookout! You crack me up with the extent you went to looking for the ice cream- too cute! One of my favorite B&J flavors is Oatmeal Cookie (or something like that) but I have never ever seen it sold up here. Sniff! Mmmm- a scoop of both might be delish actually. They would totally compliment each other. Not that this is at all helpful as I don't have either flavor sold in my grocery store.

TCP said...

You are so resourceful! I haven't been able to find it around here either, but I never thought of calling the company!

I know it's not the same, but Edy's makes a pretty good Pumpkin ice cream!

After all the fanfare about the pumpkin cheesecake ice cream on a couple of different blogs, I started craving it and figured I needed to see what the fuss was about. I trekked 11 blocks to Ben & Jerry's on the off chance that they had it...and they did! I got two scoops and enjoyed every bite. So delish!!! Good thing I had the long walk home to work it off! :)

MMM said...

I too have been looking for this ice cream---but I'm not near any of the stores you mentioned. =( I may just have to make the call myself.
