    Btw i think you missed out on my favorites. Chocolate peanutbutter and rocky road. Fwiw i have heard that cookie dough is surprisingly popular, though not for me

    S is for Sorbet which is completely absent of any milkfat, while Sherbet has to have between 1% and 2% milkfat if it is to reach American consumers. As for standing, David Boies knows more about standing than you do. Watch your step!

    Im the opposite. I LOOOOOVE vanilla bean and would even have a hard time deciding between chocolate and vanilla bean if I had to choose. French vanilla on the other hand I won't even touch unless its on apple pie or something.

    To be honest, we mostly use vanilla (French) to go with apple pie or brownies. I really do love the flavor of vanilla, though, and tend to add some extract to lots of my baking recipes.

    I've wanted to buy some vanilla beans and make my own extract. There's quite a few varieties worth their own distinct flavor. Just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe I should now that I'm thinking about it.

    Oh, and back to the flavors. I had some lemon ice cream (not sherbet)a few months ago. Hadn't seen that in the store in years. It was as good as I remembered it.

    Butter Pecan is so good it has been exported intergalactically and used as a trade commodity as well as truce offering.

    Spumoni, that looks good. And whoa, I just realized something.
    Falena, I hardly ever see you post in the main forums. It's sort of weird, lol.
    Anyways, thanks your vote!

    Depends on mood.
    Tillamook makes a great Strawberry Ice Cream that isn't too sweet.
    Their Old Fashion Vanilla is creamy feeling too.
    I can't find a good chocolate Ice Cream nor coffee.
    Done right they can be so good.
    Haagan Daz is too hard but does have good flavors.

    Try Dreyer's Slow Churned French Silk!! It's chocolate with bits of dark chocolate in it with a light vanilla swirl and TASTYYyyyyyyyy.

    All this talk of I cream and I just had to go get some.
    I need to watch carbs and Tillamook is higher in carbs than Dreyer's Slow Churned, and if I remember right it is lower in chemicals and additives.

    Dreyer's slow churned not "creamy feel" enough.

    Also I prefer an unpolluted Chocolate ice cream, no chips. no swirls.

    Tillamook is my creamy feel ice cream of the moment.

    If I am going to have polluted Chocolate Ice Cream,
    it will be classic Rocky Road.

    BTW Tillamook makes a good dark cherry ice cream too.
    Although I prefer the strawberry
    And when it come to vanilla they make 3. Only the "Old Fashion" is excellent.

    When I buy Ice Cream I look at fat content and like the fattiest.
    Then I look for lower carb.

    Ah jeez, sorry for the delay folks. Wanted to post the results over the weekend, but got unexpectedly busy over the weekend and then even busier once the work week got going. But...wait over, I'm posting the results now. And btw, the win here was the most across the board victory out of all three of the Ranked Votes so far...

    [​IMG]

    And the Winner, hands down, is...

    Option B: Chocolate!

    This one was not even close! Chocolate beats out other options any way you scoop it, lol.
    Wins with 2 votes using Plurality, musters 6 in IRO, and in RP it beats the runner ups 5-2.
    Tied for second place are Chocolate and Vanilla Swirl and Chocolate Chip Mint. So yeah....it looks like we here at PoliticalForum clearly have a thing for chocolate. Guess I know which flavor to get when we have our Pofo Ice Cream Social next year...and what to get after that when they run out of the first option...

    Results (Ranked Pairs - Plurality - Instant Runoff):
    [​IMG]
    Note: Chocolate is indeed option B. The option that reads "Chocolate" in the image is actually a scrunched up "Chocolate Peanut-butter".
    Transposed and Highlighted top three contenders to make it easier to compare them.

    Eh,...you guys technically missed the deadline.
    Then again, its not like this vote has any binding consequences.
    I'll add your rankings to the tallies and see how they change things. :)

    Don't forget to check out the Pet Vote before that one closes.
    Though I'm probably going to extend it at this point...:constipated:

    When I was a wee lad, my vote would have been French vanilla as I would then add flavors or syrup and make anything from shakes to splits etc.....

    Heh. Well, if you like "unpolluted" ice cream you might want to read the ingredients in Tillamook Chocolate and compare with Dreyer's Slow Churned Chocolate. WOW! I just came from the grocery story and checked them while I was there.
