A Sweet & Quirky Tribute to Retired Ice Cream Dreams!

🍦 Ben & Jerry’s Flavor Graveyard: A Sweet & Quirky Tribute to Retired Ice Cream Dreams! 🪦🐄 Tucked away on a grassy hillside behind the Ben & Jerry’s factory in Waterbury, Vermont, the Flavor Graveyard is a playful, nostalgic, and totally free stop that honors the ice cream flavors that once brought joy but didn’t quite make the cut. Stroll among tombstones, chuckle at witty epitaphs, and pay your respects to fallen favorites—it’s a must-do for any ice cream lover visiting the area! 🗺️ How to Find It • Location: Behind the main factory building—follow the signs or ask staff for directions! • Address: 1281 Waterbury-Stowe Rd (Route 100), Waterbury, VT 05676 • No Ticket Needed: Open to the public during factory hours (no tour required). ⚰️ Graveyard Highlights • Creative Tombstones: Each retired flavor gets a personalized headstone with a hilarious epitaph. • “Wavy Gravy” (1990s): “We’re not sure what it was, but it’s gone.” • “Dublin Mudslide” (2000s): “It slipped away…” • “White Russian” (2002): “The dude abides… elsewhere.” • Photo Ops: Pose with your favorite “departed” flavor or the graveyard’s entrance sign. • Fun Fact: Some flavors get “revived” as limited editions—so never say never! 🍦 Pair Your Visit With… • Factory Tour: Book ahead online for a 30-minute guided tour ($6.50 adults) including a video, production viewing, and tasting. • Scoop Shop: Try current hits like Phish Food or Cherry Garcia—and appreciate them even more! • Gift Shop: Snag cow-themed merch, pint-shaped lip balm, or a “I visited the Graveyard” sticker. 💡 Tips for the Trip • Go Early: The graveyard is rarely crowded, but the factory tour and scoop shop can be! • Weather Note: The path is grassy and may be muddy in spring or snow-dusted in winter—wear comfy shoes! • Nearby Eats: Grab apple cider donuts at Cold Hollow Cider Mill or a BBQ sandwich at Prohibition Pig. 📸 Make It Memorable • Create a Story: Film a mock “eulogy” for your favorite retired flavor. • Scavenger Hunt: Challenge kids (or friends!) to find the silliest epitaph. • Combine with Scenery: The graveyard sits on a gentle hill with pretty views—bring a picnic blanket! The Flavor Graveyard isn’t just a quirky stop—it’s a celebration of creativity, risk-taking, and the ever-evolving world of ice cream. Come for the laughs, stay for the scoops, and leave with a new appreciation for the flavors that dared to dream! #BenAndJerrys #FlavorGraveyard #Vermont #IceCreamLover #QuirkyTravel #FoodieFun #NewEngland #WeekendTrip
