One more item for the "completist" collectors out there. Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream has created a new, presumably limited flavor called "Imagine Whirled Peace". It features John's self-portrait and a brief write-up explanation on the carton. It has fudge peace signs right in the mix, along with caramel and toffee. A delectable offering from them as usual, and as an added bonus, it looks great next to my jar of Genuine Wil-berry Jam! Just a "heads-up" about an inexpensive and delicious addition to any serious Beatle collection.

Warning though, I bought a pint of this, kept it sealed to keep in mint condition and put it on my shelf with other collectibles. After a few hours I checked in and it had created a hell of a mess once melted. Any recommendations on how to avoid this problem?

Move to the North Pole (quickly, global warming could ruin this idea)...... Put glass on the front of a tiny refrigeration unit....... Turn your air conditioning waaaayyy up..... Concentrate on collecting non edibles.......

I was at the grocery store this afternoon and made a point of looking for Ben & Jerry's imagine whirled peace ice cream. Sure enough, they had it but I wasn't all that impressed with the package. At $3.59 a pint, this stuff is a hell of a lot more expensive than a gallon of gasoline and today that's really saying something. Ben & Jerry's is good stuff though.

However, for a truly transcendental experience my friend...have you ever tried Häagen-Dazs banana split ice cream? At $3.79 a pint it's a little more than Ben & Jerry's but worth it. This stuff's so good it'll make you forget your own name. ;D www.haagendazs.com/products/product.aspx?id=308

I was in Hawaii in late 2003 on holiday (vacation). One day I was on Waikiki Beach and I was starving for something to eat. There was a Haagen-Dazs shop close to the beach front, so I wandered over there. I could not make up my mind what to order and then I saw this poster on the wall showing a huge banana split with all the works. I pointed to the poster and said to the woman who was working there, "make me this." She did not understand me at first, I think she was native Hawaiian and I have my Australian accent. Eventually I got what I wanted. The thing was enormous, but I eventually got through it!

Despite the many good ideas expressed above, I am tired of trying to collect, and not eat, the Lennon ice cream so I am going back to non-Beatle flavors.

I'm a big Ben & Jerry's fan. The Kroger near my house had the new Lennon "Whirled Peace" in the freezer, so I picked one up last week. Unfortunatley I have to say this isn't their best flavor. It just seemd to have a strange flavor.

Any recommendations on how to avoid this problem? cryogenics eat the ice cream, save the carton. Or if you mix it with some of the other ice creams loaded with gums and anti-freeze like products, it may last a long time in solid state. The cheaper the ice cream you may have noticed the less likely it is to lose its shape when melted.

You are right about the cheap stuff not melting although it is no longer frozen or even cold! WTF!? That stuff is killing us! By the way RTP, what should Ben & Jerry name an ice cream that would be dedicated to Paul? Monkberry Moon Delight comes to mind although I have no idea what a Monkberry is! ;D

Seeing as Paul was a cold and heartless bastard in both his business and female affairs. As far as what Monkberry means, could be an individual in a Monastery finally having popped his first cherry. Only Paul knows the answer for sure. No offense to the religious ones on board.

JCV My cap is off to you JCV, for you have bested me. Around here during the off-season (Fall-Winter-Spring) you'll find Ben & Jerry's 2/$5.00 but in the summertime they've usually got the petal to the metal on ice cream. On the odd week you might find it on sale...but sometimes ya just gotta have it...money be damned! ;D

Monkberry Moon Delight is a good suggestion for Paul. It has nothing to do with monks. Paul's ice cream could be called Chunky Love Songs.

LOL! Yeah, after I posted I thought that "Chunkberry Moon Delight" would be better. Big 100% fruit chunks mixed into the ice cream: strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc. Man, that would be good!

Only Paul knows the answer for sure. No offense to the religious ones on board. Actually it can be said that all of the Beatles were cold and heartless in their female affairs. John was absolutely fierce to women. Paul really had the best, longest marriage I think - Ringo has it now. Paul's view (according to Many Years From Now) was that he was not married and didn't want to be then. He always said the women were willing participants - fair game and fun to all. As far as business affairs, Paul was smarter (or had better advisors than Alan Klein) than the rest - that does not make him cold and heartless.

Gotta admit though, he was cold and heartless towards Yoko. Wouldn't you say? Now, she qualifies as the ultimate Apple Scruff!!!

He had his chunks and I'll let it go at that. Chunky Love Songs is better.

Now, she qualifies as the ultimate Apple Scruff!!! Paul could have treated Yoko better. The same can be said for the othe two Beatles. Cold yes. Heartless came later when the breakup took place and both sides had reason for greivance. Paul was actually making nice after the first awkward scenes with Yoko. But it was not to be. Yoko wanted the stage with John without the three in-laws and John felt Paul was taking over the Beatles anyway. What better way to stop the train than to say I'm getting off at the next stop. The only thing Paul did that John resented was that Paul jumped off the train before waiting for the stop.

Reminds me of one of the many made-up authors' names used in Mark Shipper's excellent semi-fictional "Paperback Writer" cautionary paperback: "A. Pauling Taist." I did try "Imagine Whirled Peace," though a pint cost me more than a gallon of gasoline (even these daze). Good stuff! Good thing that ice cream flavo(u)r IS that expen$ive and not easily available in mass quantities, or I'd be in serious danger of gaining too much weight. NP: Aerosmith, "My Girl" (NOT the Temptations song), Pump
