Elton John, Ben & Jerry’s Walk Down “Yellow Brickle Road”

7/15/08, 1:19 pm EST


To celebrate the first time Elton John has ever played the state of Vermont, native ice cream kings Ben & Jerry have concocted a new flavor dedicated to John called “Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road,” with all proceeds benefitting the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The ice cream is described as “an outrageous symphony of decadent chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks.” We assumed “brickle” was just a made-up word to make a punny tie between the ice cream and John’s hit “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” but butter brickle is actually the stuff that Heath Bars are made of. “Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road” will be saying goodbye sooner rather than later, however, as the limited edition flavor will only be available in B&J’s Vermont Scoop Shops from July 18-25. Sir Elton joins Phish, Jerry Garcia and Dave Matthews as musicians who have had a flavor dedicated to them.

Why casn’t it be offered to everyone in US? Not fair to the fans outside Vermont!

This is an outrage!
You forgot John Lennon, you bastard! What about “Imagine World Peace”?!

But seriously, I love Ben & Jerry’s.

Brickle is not a made up word.

WOW! My ice cream sounds delicious! I wish it was being sold all over the world and for more than one week though.

Although I prefer the sounds of Phish and Garcia more, this flavor sounds delicious.
