Rest in Peace, Ice Cream: Interesting tale of Ben & Jerry’s Flavor Graveyard

Located in Vermont, USA, Ben & Jerry’s Flavor Graveyard is a unique and quirky attraction that you will be talking about for a long time. This place has the potential to make you laugh and feel bad at the same time.

If you are an ice cream enthusiast, you must visit this quirky site. If the name is not clear enough, Ben & Jerry’s Flavor Graveyard in Waterbury, Vermont, is a whimsical ‘resting place’ for all discontinued flavours of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.



Looking at the number of ‘graves’ here, it looks like the ice-cream brand had quite a number of flavours that failed to pull heartstrings. Whichever flavour didn’t work for the brand found a place here. They say, this is the place where flavours come to retire (or die).


This graveyard is the result of Ben & Jerry’s love for all things whimsical. They take their sense of humour seriously, and this site is a beloved spot for residents as well as visitors.



Ben & Jerry's, founded in 1978, has a rich history of creating innovative and often eccentric ice cream flavours. Over the years, some flavours not only became famous, but they also gained a cult following. However, there were some that didn’t quite work. In 1997, to honour these discontinued flavours, the Flavor Graveyard was established.

The epitaphs here are quirky and a pleasure to read.

Aloha Macadamia (2001 - 2002): The epitaph reads,
We won't blame the macadamia
But we were kinda in denial
The Marketplace had spoken:
Mac got aloha'ed off the aisle.



Chocolate Macademia (2010 - 2011): The epitaph reads,
Nuts about chocolate
Chocolate about nuts
Swirled vanilla with chocolate
Maybe too much?


Dastardly Mash (1979 - 1991): The epitaph reads,
Here the brazen
DASTARDLY lies.
Some say that raisin,
Caused its demise.


These are just some of the fun graves that are there in the Flavour Graveyard. There are many others.
