Despite the proliferation of exotic ice cream flavors which are available in both supermarkets and at fancy ice cream parlors, Michigan’s taste turns out to be pretty predictable.

First, here are some wild choices:

Ben & Jerry’s is famous for christening its flavors with intriguing names, such as “Chunky Monkey,” which is banana ice cream with walnuts and fudge chunks.

Jeni’s has a “Biscuits with the Boss” flavor inspired by the hit TV show Ted Lasso. This variety features shortbread cookie crumble in “buttery sweet cream.”

And Kemps has made a “Unicorn Swirl” that lets loose with “pink fruity ice cream with a sour blueberry swirl, glitter candy pieces and a white frosting topping.” Hmm, that’s all?
