Ben and Jerry's is famous for quirky names for its ice cream flavors. Some of the quirkiest have paid homage to well-known people, such as Cherry Garcia, Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream, and Imagine Whirled Peace, a John Lennon tribute flavor.

A topical Ben and Jerry's flavor, apparently retired too soon, was Economic Crunch, released in 1987.

Here in Bellingham, Ben Scholtz at Mallard Ice Cream has created special flavors for a few local institutions: Kulshan Cherry Liqueur Treat for the Kulshan Community Land Trust; a blueberry swirl with the school colors for Western Washington University; and Slam Dunk (vanilla ice cream with chocolate and Butterfingers) for the Bellingham Slam basketball team.
