Most delicious post in this blog’s history, probably!
This also happened in 1987 and I can’t think of a better way to top off this year’s spotlight.
The first ice cream flavour named after a rock legend, Cherry Garcia ice cream was first released in 1987; however, it was first suggested over 3 years before by 2 self-proclaimed fans of Ben & Jerry’s & the Grateful Dead, who thought we ought to make a flavour named Cherry Garcia, in honour of Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia. Their suggestion was written on a postcard with a Portland, Maine, postmark, but no name or return address. After considerable research and development to find the perfect ingredients, the final recipe included fresh bing cherries & specially formulated chocolate flakes in a rich cherry cream. After making similarly considerable efforts to search for & identify the DeadHead who wrote the postcard, we finally found Jane Williamson. To thank her & to officially recognise her as the original creator of the flavour name, we invited Jane to our 1987 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, where Ben & Jerry presented her (& a friend) with a giant Cherry Garcia pint lid, as well as a year’s supply of ice cream. We later upgraded Jane’s ice cream award winning status; to this day she’s still a card-carrying member of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream For Life Club.
