An ice cream graveyard? How deliciously grim. Just as ice cream lovers cannot live forever, neither can the flavors they love. For the flavors that weren’t loved enough, there’s the Ben and Jerry’s Flavor Graveyard in Waterbury, Vermont.
Outside the Ben and Jerry’s factory is a patch of grass dedicated to the memories of the flavors that never quite caught on. Despite the financial failure of the flavors, the people who put their heart and soul into making them still feel that they deserve to be honored…and boy, do they honor them.
