My guess is that retailers are choosing not to stock it in favor of the other flavors.Sallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-21975917239192253202011-10-06T09:41:33.035-07:002011-10-06T09:41:33.035-07:00Chacha, B&J used to have a straight vanilla an...Chacha, B&J used to have a straight vanilla and a favorite flavor of mine called "Deep Dark Chocolate"--I haven't seen either in years, sadly. I like how you are literally voting with your feet in your response. :)<br /><br />Barbara: it's funny but I had a random conversation with a stranger in the grocery store the other day on Schweddy Balls. One side of me finds that name hilarious... but yeah, by the same token, I'm not exactly tempted by that "flavor" myself and I don't see myself ever buying it or trying it. <br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-25300635656322138102011-10-05T17:13:15.829-07:002011-10-05T17:13:15.829-07:00If that is stealth practice than it's everywhe...If that is stealth practice than it's everywhere. I don't know if I feel it's so stealth anyhow. I know what they are doing; I do check the price per unit and most often those little containers are too pricey no matter what.<br /><br />I will say...I am not impressed with their new product named after a skit on Saturday Night Live; Schweddy Balls. OK, they're cool and irreverent and I'm not a prude but it's just such a gross name that I would prefer they swing a little price increase by me and not make me think of balls when I just want a scoop of frozen milk product. :)Barbara | Creative Culinaryhttp://www.creative-culinary.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-8418320107566881802011-10-04T10:28:52.752-07:002011-10-04T10:28:52.752-07:00I wish Ben & Jerry's made plain flavors. ...I wish Ben & Jerry's made plain flavors.

And agreed, otherwise, you'd need a calculator (or you'd need to be a savant at math) to compare prices of different unit sizes. :)<br /><br />One final thought: I don't consider Haagen-Dazs to be less than honest. They have a right to sell whatever unit size they want to at <em>whatever price they want to.</em> <br /><br />However, we as consumers also have to exercise our right to either buy or not buy. <br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-82682851930166783862011-10-04T07:39:41.679-07:002011-10-04T07:39:41.679-07:00I wish US grocery stores would label products on t...I wish US grocery stores would label products on their shelves the way they do in the UK and Holland...showing the price per unit for every item (usually as the price per kg). It makes it so much easier to compare REAL prices between packages of similar items that may be of slightly varying sizes.<br /><br />Then again, I suppose there are some less-than-honest food manufacturers that may grumble about that (ahem, Haagen-Dazs).The DutchMac Tribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01108463221404795234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-49465332106818402662011-10-04T07:38:39.037-07:002011-10-04T07:38:39.037-07:00Ha ha!
