They are retiring Caramel Praline Cheesecake, Campfire S'mores, Apple Pie a La Mode and Superfudge Truffle are leaving the list. French Vanilla, a staple since 1945, is out, too. Here is the article http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/07/15/baskin.robbins.retires.flavors/index.html Are any of these one of your favorites? Mine is French Vanilla. I guess I will have to stop by and get it one more time before it is gone.

Hi, kimber867. I have not heard of this before. I know that many ice cream lovers will not be too happy to heat about this. I don't know what is my favorite flavor. I know that I loved Baskin Robbins ice cream.

Wow, can't decide on a favorite flavor - I know there are a lot of flavors that I have never tried before from them. Thanks for the response.

I remember buying Pralines & Cream ice cream from Baskin Robbins numerous times in the past. That is one of my favorites. I'm surprised to hear that French Vanilla is leaving since that is one of their staples. I guess get rid of the flavors that don't sell enough. My favorites have always been Chocolate Chip, Pralines & Cream, and the Vanilla Fudge Ribbon. I think there probably isn't any flavor that is bad that they make.

Are they just retiring the flavors that are not popular with others? Reading this made me remind me of different flavors that Jelly Bean has which is awesome. Each Jelly Bean has a different taste to them which was very interesting. My favorites are still the original vanilla and chocolate.

I guess they are retiring them because they are no longer big sellers. I bet if Baskin Robbins quarts and 1/2 gallons weren't so expensive that people would buy more to take home. I love Jelly Belly's!!!! Thanks for the response!

You are most welcome Snow. We don't have one in our town, but we are driving to the closest mall tomorrow and we will be passing one, so we are stopping! We usually go on nites that they are having some type of promotional activity. Thanks for the response.

My all-time favorite is Pistachio Almond. But among the 5 I like French Vanilla. At least they say they will introduce 5 new flavors. Isn't it that they say "31 Flavors: 1 for each day of the month"?

Bummer Hatley, I would be using the internet to find out if there is one close to me! We are going by one tomorrow, so I am stopping to get a scoop of French Vanilla. Thanks for the response.

I find it odd that they are retiring flavors. I don't think I have ever had a Baskin Robbins ice cream though so it doesn't really effect me.

I like French Vanilla, too. So what will happen now to their "31 Flavors" tag line? "One flavor for each day of the month." Will they be introducing 5 new flavors?

Good question Jonnifc! I know the last time I went into a Baskin Robbins, I counted and they didn't even have 31 flavors. Now this was a location that was combined with a Dunkin Donuts. I haven't been to a location that is just ice cream in a long time. I always thought the Hot Fudge Sundae's were best when they were made with French Vanilla. Thanks for the response.
