The pensioned flavors are: Caramel Praline Cheesecake (1970), Campfire S'mores
(1975), Apple Pie a La Mode (1976), Superfudge Truffle (2007) and -- believe it or not -- French Vanilla, which has been around since the very beginning (1945). "One can only puzzle why they
would drop a popular flavor such as the classic vanilla which has been a staple for so long," rues Goessl (and we concur), "but this is the decision made."
Old flavors don't just melt away, however. They go into "Deep Freeze" where, perhaps, a concerted effort led by social networkers with virtual pitchforks might some day defrost them.
