    "Try one of their new flavors such as Mission to Marzipan (sweet cream with almond cookies & a marzipan swirl), Orange & Cream (orange sorbet swirled with vanilla ice cream), or Triple Caramel Chunk (caramel ice cream with a swirl of caramel & fudge covered caramel chunks). Or pick an oldie-but-goodie such as Cherry Garcia or my personal fave, Chunky Monkey.",
