Ben & Jerry’s Creates Limited Batch of Tide Pod Flavored Ice Cream

WATERBURY – To commemorate the anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, which occurred on February 11, 1990, ice cream giant Ben & Jerry’s has created a new limited batch flavor called “Fall of A-Pod-Tide.” The flavor is described on the carton as “Vanilla Detergent Ice Cream with Real Tide Pods and a Caramel Detergent Swirl.” The company says the unusual flavor combination is in response to “what the kids are eating these days,” and is “a perfect fit” for their new offering.

Fall of A-Pod-Tide will be available only in scoop shops for the month of February, and then will disappear to the flavor graveyard.
