July is National Icecream Month, and with that Baskin-Robbins is cleaning house...out with the old and in with the new! The company recently announced that it is retiring five of its 31 signature flavors including the classic staple French Vanilla, which was with the company since it started in 1945, Caramel Praline Cheesecake (1970), Campfire S'mores (1975), Apple Pie a La Mode (1976) and Superfudge Truffle (2007). Tastes change, and Baskin-Robbins claims its putting these classic flavors into the "Deep Freeze Vault" with the other retired flavors to make room for 5 new flavors due out this fall.The last tubs of these 5 flavors have been sent out to Baskin-Robbins stores, and are only available until supplies last, so get it while you can! Some other flavors that have been put into the vault are Astronut (1961),Beatle Nut (1964),Acceptance Peach (1976),Miami Ice (1986),The Mask "Somebody Stop Me" Twist Ice (1996),whYte 2K chocolate overload (2000),and Shrek Swirl (2001).

- About Me: Hey! I'm Gilly... after graduating from college I packed up my bags and moved to Australia. Upon arrival I was prepared for the obligatory shrimp on the barbie and a Fosters beer but there was none in sight. In fact Aussies call shrimp prawns, and Fosters is quite possible the worst beer to hit Australian shores... so my friends put some snags (sausages) on the barbie and handed me a tinny (beer) and introduced me to a world of food I never expected from the land down under. While there I tried authentic some authentic Aussie Bush Tucker including, alligator pie, kangaroo steaks, and camel bolognese...to name a few. My friends and I did road trips up the Australian East Coast, Tasmania, and New Zealand cooking food out the back of our campervan. I hope to share with you some stories and recipes from our travels. Enjoy!

I have no clue. I haven't been in a Baskin and Robbins in years.
i worked at BR for a few months when I was in hs. shrek swirl was gross which is probably why they are retiring it. Can't say I will miss any of those flavors. German chocolate is still one of my favorites.
FRENCH VANILLA? What.
Why french vanilla so many people get that one, and that's my favourite too :(
That looks really good!!!!!! Thanks for the invite!
@Gillian- What a great article. Thanks for sharing it. I hope you don't mind but i re-posted this word-for-word in my "Randomness Rocks!" blog
What?! FRENCH VANILLA?! That's my absolute favourite and SUCH a classic. :( </3
They are getting rid of Apple Pie A la Mode? Sad.
Don't get rid of French Vanilla! That's always a winner!!
UNAMERICAN I TELL YA D X but .........i am lookin forward to the new flava >.>
Hey what ever happen to that spam and cornflake flavor
I enjoyed during the summer of 94. Oh wait that wasn't ice cream. Now I
remember, it was mixed with room temperature mayonnaise.
I can't remember the last time I went to Baskin-Robbins. The only one I know of around here is 10-15 miles away and we have haagen-dazs, Coldstone, Brewster's, and Ben and Jerry's all right around the corner.
Caramel Praline Cheesecake!!!! My husband and I love that ice cream!!!
NO!!!
Back in the 90's, when i was little... I was obsessed with bubble gum ice cream.......... who knows when that retired hahaha.
I'm all about the World Class Chocolate. Never really cared about vanilla.
APPLE PIE A LA MODE IS GONE!?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I remember my favorite combo was a scoop of black licorice and a scoop of pink champagne. I wish they would bring those two flavors back. This was back in the 70's or 80's.
I've never had and icecream from there, so I don't think my life will be affected to much, but some of the retiring flavors sound yummy!
When I saw the picture, i thought mint chip was one of the flavors that was going to be taken off of the menu. It's a bummer that they're taking off the five that's listed though.
Aw. They took the Baskin Robbins away from here when I was a kid. =[
There's one in the next city, but it's not worth it when I could just go to Maggie Moo's or Orange Tree/peachwave.
I had never been to a BR in my life until I was in the middle east this summer! Do they have the flavour "#34 Love Potion" in North America? It's incredible!!
dude. who in thrie right mind retires vanilla for cripessake?!
Why would they take away french vanilla??? =(
NOT FRENCH VANILLA
