I have tasted Ben and Jerry's "Everything but the..." and I am everything but impressed. That is to say I am dissapointed, depressed, and now pity having forced my stomach to consume said flavor. It's true, "Everything but the..." is as lousy as its name is stupid. Let's examine the evidence...

"Everything but the..." begins with a vanilla and chocolate base. Not half vanilla on one side, half chocolate on the other, but rather two flavors whirled together and stuffed inside the pint. Now I neither enjoy Ben and Jerry's plain vanilla nor their plain chocolate so putting them together is easily the first and most obvious mis-step on this long and winding catastrophic road. The second is B and J's choice of extras: Heath Bar chunks, white chocolatey chunks, peanut butter cups, and chocolatey-covered almonds. Blech! Aside from the Heath Bar chunks this sounds a lot like all the left-overs from the other Ben and Jerry's flavors nobody likes. And you can count me in as a certain detractor. This flavor sucks!

In trying to do everything with their "Everything but the..." Ben and Jerry's has done nothing but lay an egg. I appreciate the flavors that at least try to do things a little different but this is just plain silly. Add a presposterous name to the mix and it's a near guarentee that this lousy flavor's days are certainly numbered. All I've left to write is kiss my butt, B and J, your crummy flavor nearly ruined my night watching Dancing with the Stars!
