Sally, I love Cool Britanica and I agree that it has been discontinued. I haven't seen it in ages.

I would be perfectly happy with a pint of that while watching Blues Brothers (I forgot that was a favorite movie, too).

**mommax3** · 10-09-2004, 08:28 AM

Nellie,

Your post inspired me to go to the Ben & Jerry's website and request that Cool Brittania be resurrected from their flavor graveyard! We'll see what happens.
