Lou,
You are a man of decadent tastes. I too like Cherry Vanilla and the Thrifty Drug/Rite Aid brand beats 31 Flavors and Ben & Jerry's with little problem in my taste tests. It's also a 1/3rd the cost. It features whole marischino cherries mixed in with their delectable vanilla, which is light and airey, and not too milky. (a mis-used combination that kills most Cherry Vanillas) when you get to the O.C., I suggest you drop into any Rite Aid and try it. But don't forget to try Double Malted Crunch!
So, if one were going to go play a Fazio, would it be likely that they would drop into say 31 Flavors; whereas if you were going to Rustic Canyon, you would drop into Rite Aid for a quick scoop? (OR TWO OR THREE)
With summer upon us, I can also highly recommend the 100% Americana/it just doesn't get any more delightful, DQ Dairy Queen Blizzard. It's a hodgepodge of different styles and tastes grouped into a high-torque blender and mixed right in the cup they serve it to you in.
The first taste is gurranteed brain freeze. (hence the name, Blizzard.
