Just tried banana-rum (banana's foster-like though a bit artificial tasting) and strawberry cheesecake. Both were good. Want to try Dublin Mudslide. Sat Mar 24 05:58:33 -0700 2007 82182 izzizzi 1 2416725 Haven't tried the banana-rum (the idea sounds really good though) or the strawberry cheesecake. Tried the Dublin Mudslide last weekend and (I'll preface this by saying I LOVE almost all of Ben & Jerry's flavors) I was not that impressed -- it was artificial tasting and just kinda blah. Big fan of Chunky Monkey, Chubby Hubby, One Sweet Whirled. I have Vermonty Python in the freezer right now which I haven't tried yet. . . Sat Mar 24 07:12:46 -0700 2007 2416643 47813 chigirl71 1 2416728 I am one who desperately misses both Festivus during the holidays and Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz. In the past few years, I have found all their products to be way too sweet for me. I was really disappointed that the Black & Tan didn't really taste *like* beer which I had hoped it would, at least a little... Sat Mar 24 07:18:01 -0700 2007 2416643 16933 Carrie 218 2 2416739 I agree, their flavors are REALLY sweet. I've found my favorite ice cream (from grocery) is Ciao Bella...I love Il Laborattorio (sp?) but they don't carry them around here. Sat Mar 24 07:21:53 -0700 2007 2416728 82182 izzizzi 2 2417815 I always boycotted Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz because it replaced my favorite Cappucino Chocolate Chunk. I don't like hunks of fudge which is what you find in a lot of flavors. They told me they discontinued it because they couldn't package it in pints because of the chunks. After seeing their other flavors, that explanation always seemed fishy to me. Sat Mar 24 16:14:42 -0700 2007 2416728 11708 fryrose 2 2422624 I LOVED Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz! I had to have the container taken out of my hands, or I'd eat the whole thing. Mon Mar 26 14:01:34 -0700 2007 2416728 74556 manraysky 3 2476402 Right there with you on the prying it out of my hands bit. I also miss one of the originals, Rainforest Crunch. Nuts and Caramel and Vanilla ice cream. I wish they'd do more vanilla based flavors. Thu Apr 12 19:37:21 -0700 2007 2422624 80141 ccbweb 2 2424375 I was disappointed in the Black and Tan too. The flavor was so faint. I guess it was put in for the novelty, as I've heard about garlic ice cream (not a B&J flavor) at festivals. (Never tried it though) Tue Mar 27 04:35:39 -0700 2007 2416728 59951 thinks too much 2 2435622 Those were my two favorites as well! I also miss Holy Cannoli. I hate all the current flavors. I haven't bought Ben & Jerry's in years. They should bring back a bunch of the old awesome flavors instead of making up new bizarre stupid flavors that don't taste good. I just remembered, the Ben and Jerry's stores often have Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz.

I got both in an ice cream cake and took it to a friend's party. Huge hit! Tried the Black & Tan. Good, but I'll stick with my faves. Sat Mar 24 08:08:56 -0700 2007 2416643 76025 mojoeater 2 2417263 Those are my two faves also. Have you tried the low-fat version of the chocolate fudge brownie? I actually prefer that over the full-fat version. Sat Mar 24 11:44:08 -0700 2007 2416840 43515 adrienne156 3 2417433 I've done the fro-yo and low fat versions of both and all are good in my book.

Sat Mar 24 13:17:34 -0700 2007 2416643 27327 MsMaryMc 2 2420029 I love Coffee Heath Bar Crunch, but can't have caffeine any more.Man, I wish they'd make decaf! Sun Mar 25 18:22:29 -0700 2007 2417467 76025 mojoeater 3 2420528 Coffee Heath Bar Crunch is wildly wonderful. Sun Mar 25 22:19:37 -0700 2007 2420029 18222 maria lorraine 4 2420580 Coffee Heath Bar Crunch is the only one, or one of few, I like with all those chunks of whatever. This is why I love and adore Chocolate Brownie Batter...tastes like..Brownie Batter minus the hunks and chunks of anything. but on the Coffee Heath Bar Crunch, in this case, I agree...wildly wonderful! Sun Mar 25 22:49:52 -0700 2007 2420528 23350 Jesdamala 1 2417665 I love Chunky Monkey and New York Fudge. Those flavors have stayed consistedly wonderful over the years. Ben & Jerry sold out to Unilever for $326 million in 2000. Sat Mar 24 14:50:55 -0700 2007 2416643 42281 itsonlyfood 1 2417673 B & J's Mint Chocolate Cookie is one of my favorite ice cream flavors in general.

Didn't it used to be they only had a list of the flavors? Is that only in my local shop that they've changed this, or is it everywhere? Sat Mar 24 17:29:32 -0700 2007 2416643 82182 izzizzi 1 2418248 American Pie (used to be called Apple Crumble), but this is limited edition Oatmeal Cookie Chunk Creme Brulee (new and really sweet w/ a carmelized sugar swirl)- my latest go-to Mint Chocolate Cookie Sat Mar 24 20:57:02 -0700 2007 2416643 15572 Emme 2 2419059 A half-pint of the Peanut Butter is currently waiting for the proper movie to meet its end during. I also found the Dublin Mudslide and the Black and Tan disappointing. In addition, if I want chunks of chocolate or fudge of the size they have been using, I'll just have a candy bar instead of ice cream. Sun Mar 25 10:45:57 -0700 2007 2418248 62970 hungrydyke 3 2419384 I agree. I'd enjoy my favorite B&J *a whole lot more* if they didn't have those overabundant little pieces of fudge chunks in it. I HATE those ... but I like the rest, and I settle. : ) Sun Mar 25 13:14:34 -0700 2007 2419059 10609 Cheese Boy 4 2419416 Those big chunks in the ice cream are called "mouth feel" in the trade---it is supposedly the main attraction to the product. Some psych PhDs working for B & J told them consumers relate this "mouth feel" experience, to, ah, nursing as a baby on their mother's breast. Bonus fact: those golden arches at McDonalds? Specially designed to resemble large breasts. I am not making any of this up. Sun Mar 25 13:29:21 -0700 2007 2419384 42281 itsonlyfood 5 2419484 Chocolate therapy is my all time favorite. It's so sticky and gooey unlike any other flavors but I don't think they have them at grocery stores only at the b&j stores. Sun Mar 25 13:58:47 -0700 2007 2419416 21236 Danimal n Hustler 5 2420861 Um, that's not what Fast Food Nation said about the golden arches. Sounds like an urban legend to me. Mon Mar 26 06:17:25 -0700 2007 2419416 23389 charmedgirl 1 2420606 Uncanny Cashew BUT haven't seen it in a LONG time and I fear its been discontinued. Sun Mar 25 23:13:01 -0700 2007 2416643 10426 shaebones 1 2420631 Does anyone else remember a B & J flavor from around 1988 that was vanilla ice cream with pecans, cashews and almonds--all chocolate-coated? I think it was called "Nutcracker Suite" and I ate an entire pint in one sitting. Or was I just dreaming? Sun Mar 25 23:32:22 -0700 2007 2416643 14663 pilinut 2 2462467 The Ben and Jerry's site actually has a list of all discontinued flavors. And yeah, the Nutcracker Suite was a limited edition flavor they released for the 10th aniversary. http://www.benjerry.com/our_products/flavor_graveyard/ Sun Apr 08 22:49:16 -0700 2007 2420631 89901 somekind 1 2420795 Americone Dream- the Colbert flavor. I have had the hardest time finding it, but it is worth it. Carmel swirls in vanilla with bits of chocolate covered waffle cone. yum. Mon Mar 26 05:14:34 -0700 2007 2416643 65062 JABDDD 2 2422631 I haven't been able to find this one yet. None at the Castro Safeway, bummer! Mon Mar 26 14:02:44 -0700 2007 2420795 74556 manraysky 1 2422423 i like Phish food the best, sometimes it can be a little too much on the "extras" for the amount of ice cream. I just heard about this gut bomb today "The Vermonster" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermonster Mon Mar 26 13:15:14 -0700 2007 2416643 56307 amopdx 2 2422648 There was a show on the travel channel where they had people on there who each ate one. It's so disgusting. By the time I'm done with the small B&J size it's plenty...imagine 9 lbs!!! And to think someone ate it in under 4 minutes...gross. Mon Mar 26 14:06:42 -0700 2007 2422423 82182 izzizzi 2 2424373 For my 20th birthday party I had 3 of these (and 30 people) we couldn't finish them, so I had B&J in my freezer for weeks afterward. Haven't had one since. Ahh, good times. Tue Mar 27 04:33:46 -0700 2007 2422423 59951 thinks too much 2 2424421 Wow, I need to put together a team and break that record. Normally I am not competitive, but this particular challenge, The Vermoonster, has struck a nerve. Tue Mar 27 05:25:59 -0700 2007 2422423 82243 ArikaDawn 1 2422637 I just had the Strawberry Cheesecake for the first time recently, and it was goooood. New York Super Fudge Chunk was my original favorite. Now I really like Peanut Butter Cup. Bovinity Divinity is just fun (little cows!) Mon Mar 26 14:04:52 -0700 2007 2416643 74556 manraysky 2 2423591 My favourites are Apple Crumble and Coffee Buzz Buzz. Mon Mar 26 18:31:43 -0700 2007 2422637 85530 caitlink 3 2423647 Since Apple Crumble is in the graveyard, try American Pie. I just tried two of the new flavors this weekend: Cinnamon Buns and Peach Cobbler.. thought I'd really like Cinnamon Buns, but the stir-in of the meager amount of bun pieces was weirder than I expected and not quite right for my taste buds. The Peach Cobbler was better than I expected... reminded me of the old Apple Crumble flavor but with peach... nice little peach pieces and good buttery pieces of pie crust. I must say I also really like the new Creme Brulee flavor, even though the ribbon of caramelized sugar makes it over the top sweet. Mon Mar 26 18:52:47 -0700 2007 2423591 15572 Emme 4 2425727 Is that Peach Cobbler the new Willie Nelson flavor? GREAT Colbert Report banter on the whole new flavor thing! Tue Mar 27 11:35:11 -0700 2007 2423647 16933 Carrie 218 5 2427541 Yup, any feedback yet ... ? Click on the pint --> http://www.benjerry.com/our_products/flavorWorld.cfm?c=whatsnew Tue Mar 27 20:26:04 -0700 2007 2425727 10609 Cheese Boy 6 2427618 Willie Nelson flavor very good--great fresh peach pieces, good butter crust pieces, nice complementary base ice cream. I passed up the Americone Dream, as it really just didn't get me very excited w/ the description. I was quite disappointed w/ the Cinnamon Bun. The Mint Chocolate Chunk wasn't green (so for me that ain't no MCC). And as I said, thumbs up on the Creme Brulee. Tue Mar 27 21:02:31 -0700 2007 2427541 15572 Emme 7 2430963 Emme, thanks for the feedback on the Peach Cobbler. I'm not a big Willie Nelson, Jerry Garcia, or Dave Matthews fan . Endorsements, fortunately, don't affect my B&J consumption either way (+,-). If they make a Sanjaya Malakar related flavor, I'd be likely to eat it ! : ) Wed Mar 28 21:51:35 -0700 2007 2427618 10609 Cheese Boy 8 2465817 Tried the Americone Dream. Very good. Simple but very enjoyable. The fudge covered waffle cone pieces were a bit chewy and soggy, but I like em just that way. A repeat purchase definitely. Mon Apr 09 23:19:54 -0700 2007 2430963 15572 Emme 9 2469909 Haha, I actually enjoyed the chewy/sogginess of the cones too, but didnt think the general public would. I wish the caramel weren't so runny though. But Americone Dream definitely beats the Haagen Dazs' version's ass. Wed Apr 11 07:01:03 -0700 2007 2465817 18288 janethepain 10 2473244 The same *sogginess* exists in Chubby Hubby w/ the pb filled chocolate pretzels. Most of BJ's novelty, junk foody flavors beat HD's. HD would never do a Wavy Gravy flavor and if they did, it'd stink because it would be more stuck up. The goodness of BJ's down-homey flavors is the fact that they are unapologetically, unabashedly unrefined. Keep 'em coming. BTW, anyone ever try the S'mores flavor? I'm not a big chocolate ice cream fan, but I'd be willing to try this one. I've searched in all the places that their website says the flavor is carried, but to no avail. So, if anyone's tried it, is it worth hunting down further? Thanks! Thu Apr 12 00:57:52 -0700 2007 2469909 15572 Emme 11 2474506 http://www.benjerry.com/our_products/flavor_graveyard/departed_flavors.cfm i think it's dead. =( Thu Apr 12 11:06:32 -0700 2007 2473244 70009 abbefaith 12 2476546 How weird, since if you go into their current products, S'mores is definitely listed, and you can search for its location via zip code. Someone needs to get all his ducks in line! http://www.benjerry.com/our_products/flavorWorld.cfm If you click on Ice Cream Range, there it is! Boo on B&J's! Thu Apr 12 20:37:54 -0700 2007 2474506 15572 Emme 11 2476891 Ooohh, good find Emme! I don't think S'mores is dead, I think it's new and not out yet! And it sounds deeeelicious!!!!! Is it sad that I'm so excited about this? It's listed with the other new flavors, plus there's another flavor (Chocolate Almond Nougat) on there that I've never heard of which is definitely not in the Flavor Graveyard, so these must be new flavors! Marsha Marsha Marshmallow is my current favorite (as I previously mentioned on this thread somewhere), so the idea of S'mores is an exciting one for me...in case you couldn't tell. Fri Apr 13 01:27:31 -0700 2007 2473244 82634 sarahvagaca 12 2479981 i was at the store today (kansas city) and i saw the new smores...i didnt really like the first one so probably not gunna try this kind, but it is now being offered... i tried the creme brulee yesterday and wow, it is REALLY sweet. I am a sugar fiend but seriously, this was sweet. I took a bite and thought "i've tasted something like this before and its not a creme brulee." Suddenly i realized what it was--icing. Thats what this tastes like--frozen icing with tiny crunchy bits--a carmelized SUGAR ribbon no less. I wont probably buy this again, but if you like to eat icing with abandon, you would probably love this flavor. Sat Apr 14 00:09:36 -0700 2007 2476891 44450 asiansensation007 13 2483419 For those of us in Canada and deprived of many flavours of B&J - President's Choice S'mores Ice Cream is pretty good. Also like their cookies n cream. It's not premium full-fat ice cream but it's the only cheaper (still not cheap) brand I eat. Sun Apr 15 15:08:51 -0700 2007 2479981 12120 julesrules 8 2473938 LOL that would be funny!!!!!! it could be sanjaya malomar! Thu Apr 12 08:55:27 -0700 2007 2430963 70009 abbefaith 4 2482826 Okay, so I just tried Cinnamon Buns and overall, I liked it. Like the Creme Brulee, it was reallllly sweet but I liked the flavors. The caramel ice cream was rich and nice and the caramel/streusel ribbon was different and had a little texture to it in spots which was nice. The only odd thing was the cinnamon bun "dough". It was basically just a way for them to make a new version of their chocolate chip cookie dough--it doesn't taste like or have the texture of actual cinnamon bun dough. Which is probably a good thing as raw bread dough wouldn't be very good, but it's just a confusing way to describe it. Anyway, the dough pieces were smaller (I had plenty in my pint) and tasted sort of like sugar cookie or snickerdoodle dough. Overall, I thought the flavor of this ice cream was good and would probably get it again on occasion, just not entirely like cinnamon buns.

Sun Apr 08 00:16:08 -0700 2007 2431005 27715 shindiganna 3 2460613 Cherry GARICA PHISH FOOD WAVY GRAVY Sun Apr 08 05:00:04 -0700 2007 2460509 11512 FAL 3 2462331 Glad to see someone else appreciates CAFC and WG!! You just can't beat the combo of chocolate and nuts/coconut, in my book. So many flavors in their "graveyard" sound divine, and most I never tried....Cool Brittania sounds pretty good (for something without nuts, that is). ;-) Sun Apr 08 21:30:49 -0700 2007 2460509 29007 GK in SO 1 2431681 Rainforest Crunch. Been in the Flavor Graveyard forever, but I miss that one sooooo much....a close second is Wavy Gravy, also dearly departed. For current flavors, probably Caramel Sutra, or Turtle Soup (hmmm...do these choices reflect the fact that I'm nuts about nuts?) Thu Mar 29 08:07:52 -0700 2007 2416643 15132 OrganicGal 2 2431785 I am too, and that's why I love Coconut Almond Fudge and NYSFC. There's another one in the flavor graveyard called Totally Nuts....that sounds great, I wish they would bring that one back along with the ORIGINAL recipe (store recipe, not pint recipe) Wavy Gravy. Thu Mar 29 08:36:23 -0700 2007 2431681 29007 GK in SO 2 2434198 I LOVED Rainforest crunch. Also the seasonal Maine Blueberry, and the Peach one Thu Mar 29 19:46:24 -0700 2007 2431681 10911 LisaN 2 2435751 Well, I for one am glad Cherry Garcia -- another of the links back to B&J's hippy-dippy origins, is alive and well. That stuff is seriously addictive. Fri Mar 30 10:39:10 -0700 2007 2431681 12829 Bob W 1 2434097 I love reading on this board that other people like the oatmeal cookie flavor. I thought I was alone since no one I know has heard of it. YUM...Also love the PB cup becaise it's so much better w/PB ice cream. Most of the flavors are so so good, but those are absolute favorites. the only one I really don't like is Phish food - is that B&J sacrilege? Thu Mar 29 19:09:38 -0700 2007 2416643 49086 amyvc 1 2436269 oatmeal cookie chunk vermonty python the gobfather and I super duper miss Aloha Macademia. does anyone else remember this one? packed full of nuts that no one else ever seems to put in ice cream. macadamias, brazil nuts (my fave). I wonder if it was just too expensive to make... Fri Mar 30 12:44:06 -0700 2007 2416643 72532 rds246 1 2436295 They make my favorite sorbet--Berried Treasure. It's got a delicious lemon sorbet and also a berry sorbet swirl with blueberries and blackberries. It's really wonderful with Mexican wedding cookies for a lighter dessert. Fri Mar 30 12:48:20 -0700 2007 2416643 86449 cafecreme 1 2436344 really like white russian - Fri Mar 30 12:58:12 -0700 2007 2416643 71929 tuxedo 1 2445978 nice to know so many people like Oatmeal Cookie Chunk - guess it'll be around for a while. I thought I was the only one with an unhealthy obsession with it, but the texture of those cookies! jeeeez. Not a big fruit ice cream fan, but Cherry Garcia is damn good. And I'm still waiting to try Americone Dream. Tried the Haagen Dazs version, which sucked. The Cinnamon Bun sounds great too - notice I like ice cream with baked goods in it. Tue Apr 03 09:29:10 -0700 2007 2416643 18288 janethepain 2 2446012 I've had Cinnamon Bun once--it was good, very cinnamony. Tue Apr 03 09:38:44 -0700 2007 2445978 10216 Lucia 2 2461024 i just tried the cinnamon bun ice cream and it was very good - kind of like cinnamon toast crunch plus vanilla ice cream. there were chunks of cinnamon buns "dough" in it and swirls of cinnamon. Sun Apr 08 09:48:05 -0700 2007 2445978 21515 taylor_blair 3 2461112 Funny, I didn't enjoy this flavor, though I really thought I would. I found the dough buns tasted really raw and bizarre.

Tue Apr 03 13:00:49 -0700 2007 2416643 84774 LFeinberg 1 2462336 Chunky Monkey. Before tasting it I wasn't even a big ice cream fan.

April 17th - free cone day this year. Mon Apr 09 16:56:38 -0700 2007 2416643 12823 Junie D 1 2465809 My current favorite is Marsha Marsha Marshmallow, followed closely by Vermonty Python. The graham cracker/oreo crust swirl is their best invention in years!!! I keep hoping for a key lime flavor with a graham cracker crust swirl...mmmm. Old standby faves: NY Super Fudge Chunk, Mint Chocolate Cookie, Coffee Heath Bar Crunch, Everything but the... and Chubby Hubby Flavors I miss: Makin' Whoopie Pie, Orange and Cream, Totally Nuts and White Russian The Creme Brulee has a delicious flavor but yes, it's very sweet. Mint Chocolate Chunk was good--I prefer the non-green look, personally--but the chunks were bizarrely large which made it hard to have the mint and chocolate taste together. The banana rum flavor was sooo good--just which they carried it in stores. I'm dying to try Willie's Peach Cobbler and Cinnamon Buns. In my opinion, they come out with too many flavors with a caramel swirl. I'm not even that fond of the fudge swirl. That's why I like that they're coming up with new swirl ideas like the burnt sugar and graham cracker crust. I would love more marshmallow swirls, but I might be alone in that wish! Mon Apr 09 23:14:26 -0700 2007 2416643 82634 sarahvagaca 2 2466070 Ditto on the prayers for key lime pie flavor....I have been wanting this for years!! I hope someone with influence reads these boards :) Tue Apr 10 05:32:33 -0700 2007 2465809 89161 ericalee 1 2469605 Jamaican Me Crazy, which is pineapple sorbet w/passionfruit swirl, is amazing. I agree about the "fudge" it is so fake-tasting that it wrecks any flavor it is in. I want to like those cute fish in Phish food, or the cows in that cow-related flavor, but they just taste totally artificial. I like pieces of actual chocolate or white chocolate--like what they have in New York Super Fudge Chunk. Wed Apr 11 02:41:17 -0700 2007 2416643 11392 gnosh 1 2473204 i tried the new cinnamon bun. the bits were unexciting (cinnamon roll dought?!?) and didnt taste much like cinnamon rolls, more like dried out sugar cookie bits, BUT the base flavor was mildly addictive. i really really liked it for some reason. Therefore this makes it a repeat purchase. now if another has a better mixin with the same base...im game i find the much lauded chunky monkey abit boring...sacriledge to some, i know, but it didnt do much for me...i think that its popularity would have inspired others to more banana inspired confections but the only one ive really seen is blue bells banana pudding ice cream (now THAT is something yummy...i love the whip cream swirl and chewy nilla wafer bits...not something hard that you break your teeth on. Maybe if the chunky monkey had a whip cream swirl i would be on board. or maybe im just a sugar fiend cherry garcia, others swear by and i admit, it IS good, not to die for but solid lol but i love the pistachio. finally, a pistachio ice cream that ISNT green! plus, the base is pistachio AND studded with pistachio nuts. No almonds to muddy up the mix here! if you like pistachios, this is your man, er carton. i can never go back to the oddly florescent shaded green cartons again...im ruined wavy gravy is a flavor i wish i could try, as is rainforest crunch...i love nuts chubby hubby has too much stuff in it for me, its a little overboard the vanilla health bar i feel is a bit boring especially considering the price oatmeal cookie crunch is sooo good...it was the one responsible for my current BJs addiction. i really like the cinnamon ice cream and the mix sans raisins(!) all the chocolate ones...im not a good judge because i am not a chocolate fan to begin with. i dont really like anything with big fudge hunks (so goodbye phish foods and bovine divinity) but the peanut butter gets thumbs up for using peanut butter ice cream along with a swirl AND chunks! Wed Apr 11 23:55:53 -0700 2007 2416643 44450 asiansensation007 2 2473246 same reaction here to the odd texture of the cinnamon buns... they tasted like raw overly flavored yet flavorless dough balls. but yes, the general ice cream flavor was good. and to defend chubby hubby, i love the sogginess of the choco pb pretzels. Thu Apr 12 00:59:52 -0700 2007 2473204 15572 Emme 1 2473931 did anyone ever try concession obsession? i miss it... =( Thu Apr 12 08:54:36 -0700 2007 2416643 70009 abbefaith 2 2474072 is that the flavor with the popcorn in it??? i'm curious as to how frozen popcorn holds up in ice cream...is is soggy or just really chewy?? personally this kind of turns me off to the whole pint but if someone were to offer it, i would definately try it Thu Apr 12 09:29:15 -0700 2007 2473931 44450 asiansensation007 3 2474268 no i don't think it had popcorn. here's the description i found from a google search. Concession Obsession replicates filmgoer's favorite munchies: indulgent vanilla bean ice cream studded with nonpareils, chocolate-laden peanuts, crispy candy bars and caramel swirls. Thu Apr 12 10:16:23 -0700 2007 2474072 70009 abbefaith 4 2476806 looking at the product list, i just saw the one i was thinking of..."peanuts! popcorn!" hmm sounds gross and wrong...

Thu Apr 12 10:22:27 -0700 2007 2474272 11128 pamd 1 2474550 Has anyone tried Willie Nelson's Country Peach Cobbler? The description sounds interesting. Thu Apr 12 11:15:14 -0700 2007 2416643 82243 ArikaDawn 2 2474704 about halfway about the page someone described it... it sounds pretty good!
