Nobody said Cookie Dough...

I don't even remember who made them, but the little single serve cups of chocolate ice cream with the wooden spoon

SUPERMAN!

Back in my home country we had this "cream" flavor that was like a mild yellow colored vanilla buttercream. I've never been able to find the exact equivalent in the US. Closest are panna cotta or butter (ie: butter pecan)

After eight.
As a kid in Italy. A grown up taste but I loved it.
Reminds me of that holiday.

Chocolate chip, without mint, in baskin robbins.

Not technically ice cream, but rainbow sherbet. I try to have some from time to time.

Pumpkin or peach ice cream has the strongest childhood association for me—a place by the highway sold it fresh & seasonally. These aren’t common flavors either.

Young coconut ice cream. It's one of those flavors we can easily get from those ice cream carts that stop by the neighborhood usually in the middle of the afternoon. There's also mango and avocado completing the usual three flavors the cart would have, and I would always buy all three flavors available (unless I really hate the flavor).

Some of the adults would opt to have the ice cream served in a bread bun (usually just repurposed hamburger buns, without the sesame seeds), but I always opted for the sugar cones.

Raspberry ripple!

Orange sherbet in a cone. My grandfather used to get it for me after taking me to the park to play when I was around 4-6 or so. He passed away almost a decade ago and every time I have some, I think of him. He was the best.

Bryers vanilla would if it was the same as it used to be. That was my go to add a kid. It sucks now.

Neapolitan. We always seemed to have it around when I was very young.

Boysenberry

Plain old vanilla. We used to get those big gallon buckets of ice cream cause they were cheap.

Strawberry.

chip'n'mint

Honeycomb, from the northern Irish ice cream shop that was Queen Elizabeth's favourite. The only shop they ever made outside of NI was in Windsor as the queen liked it.

Tutti Frutti. I mean, I hated it then and probably wouldn't like it as an adult but it seemed to be everywhere when I was a kid.

None, the closest thing would be cheap chocolate spread with some medicine (we didn't have a lot of sweets at home)

Oh, and Snickers ice cream. It conjures up images of vacationing in Holland or Denmark and trying to fish for crabs with a cord and a cracked open clam. For some reason I feel like the clam tastes like the caramel from the Snickers.

Lemon in an absolutely tasteless cone. I don't have a specific image in my head except for the ice in one of those factory made cones.

Plus the song Gelato Al Limon by Paolo Conte. My parents had it on cassette and we would hear it in the car all the time.

Whisky & Ginger, from the front at Whitby Harbour.

Hoodsie cups in the northeast.

Two come to mind.

1. Classic cookies n’ cream
2. The 1-gallon vanilla-fudge swirl that they used(?) to sell at walmart. I think it was called the party bucket or something like that.

Those two flavors usually take me back

Vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles (or jimmies for certain nor-easterners). I even have one tattooed on my arm as part of a boardwalk sleeve.

Not gonna lie, I don't know all I remember about it was that I grew up in London UK and it was yellow. It was like standard ice cream growing up but I have no idea what it is.

Plain vanilla dyed blue; they used to call it delfino I think

Crappy 4L bucket tiger ice cream
