Which Ben & Jerry’s Flavor You Should Buy, Depending on Your Mood

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at FSU chapter.

The majority of people often go through a roller coaster of emotions throughout a single day. I understand how overwhelming life can be, but Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is available to console you one pint at a time. Here’s which flavor will pair best with your 11 am happy dance, or your 6 pm mental breakdown.

Angry: Americone Dream

Did your roommate wake you up by slamming the door as she left for her 8 am class? You should decide to get a head start on your day and grab a pint of Americone Dream for breakfast. The waffle cone pieces will make a crunching sound loud enough to wake your other roommates, giving you the opportunity to gripe about the reason you are up so early in the first place.

In Love: Phish Food

Have you finally found the one? Good for you! Celebrate your new found romance by eating several pints of Phish food because you no longer need to worry about the other “phish” in the sea.

Nervous: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 

I imagine you’re looking for an outlet for all your butterfly-related energy. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough will provide you with an abundance of cookie dough that you can spend all night excavating (instead of worrying).

Vengeful: Cherry Garcia   

Dressed in black and ready for a night of revenge, the only color you can see is red. Cherry Garcia will keep the theme of retaliation alive tonight after your plan of vengeance goes down. Maybe even eat a little before the revenge for good luck.

Happy/Content: The Tonight Dough

Your blissful disposition is contagious and has you surrounded by friends every day of the week. Take a night off of your usual fun and dig into a pint of The Tonight Dough and watch the show that inspired it. You deserve a night of delightful relaxation.

Careless: Chocolate Fudge Brownie

Not feeling much of anything these days? The sugar spike you’ll get from a pint of Chocolate Fudge Brownie may increase your heart rate enough to motivate you to get out of your comfort zone for a night. Even if this isn’t the case, a pint of Chocolate Fudge Brownie tastes incredible.  

Adventurous: Salted Caramel Core 

You are no stranger to an adrenaline high or a sugar rush. That being said, the Salted Caramel Core will inspire a night of fun you haven’t experienced before. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can mix Salted Caramel Core with a second flavor.  

Stressed: Half Baked

Let me guess, you put off a lot of work until the last minute and now your prior commitments and lack of interest are making completing the work seem impossible. We’ve all been there. Buy a pint of Half Baked Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to get yourself through the day. Cookie dough can distract you from your responsibilities a little longer.  

Excited: Strawberry Cheesecake

Your excitement is doomed to fade at some point during the day. In order to refuel, make sure to grab a pint of Strawberry Cheesecake that will cover two or three food groups at once. You’ll be back on top and excited again in no time.

Sad: Chunky Monkey   

Sometimes things can go from terrific to terrible faster than you can control. Luckily, Chunky Monkey Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is delicious and could fix any miserable situation. This pick-me-up is best served with great, supportive company.

Live. Laugh. Love.
