Have you noticed how different ice cream flavors go with different moods? The occasion may vary from person to person, and you may not even realize it about yourself, but it’s not only your taste buds that make the choice at the ice cream parlor. Whether you have failed an exam, your favorite band has announced they are going on hiatus, or your best friend needs to recover after a breakup, different ice cream flavors can help in each of these situations. Things may not change, but your mood definitely will, because that’s the power of ice cream. That’s just facts, and it’s pretty weird that science hasn’t acknowledged it yet.
When you are deciding on the flavor you want to have, ice cream names are not always helpful. Some brands come up with flashy, extravagant names that have nothing to do with the flavor. So keep your mind open not to miss the best ice cream flavor in the shop just because you didn’t trust its name. One of my personal, very ambitious dreams is to try all of the flavors of ice cream there are in the world. By the way, are there any ice cream flavors that don’t exist but you really wish they did?
If you thought that wine-flavored ice cream (not even all that rare where I live) is as strange as it gets, scroll down for some weird ice cream flavors. How many of these would you actually dare to try? What are the worst ice cream flavors you have ever had? Let us know in the comments.

Wish there were more flower flavored ice creams. Like Rose, Honeysuckle, etc.
Booker 2 years ago
It has a similar color to a popular ice cream in the Phillippines, ube ice cream. Ube is a purple yam. It's pretty good.

I've seen it but been wary to try it. I'm curious though. Maybe this weekend.

I've tried cherry blossom ice cream before and liked it. Maybe lavender might be not that much different?

My guess is that it tastes like the combo of balsamic and strawberries which if you've ever tried is fantastic so I'd totally give it a shot!

I'm not sure I even want to know how you get "balsamic" flavored ice cream. Because...NO.

Anyone who lives in east Europe is accustomed that custard has many flavours, not just plain vanilla known in English countries. Strawberry, chocolate, coconut, banana, mint and chocolate, pistachio, raspberry jus to name the most popular.

Pringles Flavor Ice Cream

I could get on board with this, imagine how many savory toppings, like BBQ sauce or honey mustard.
StrangeOne 2 years ago
Bleh. I've never been on board with Pringles. They have a weird taste that's different from bagged chips.
Shyla Bouche 2 years ago
That's because they're not just slices of potato. They're bits of potato mixed with water and shaped.

Tried it. Kill it, before anyone else has that flavor in there mouth. It's still in my mouth after 2 months. I can't even eat ranch without thinking about it.
