Create your own Baskin Robbins flavor - good or bad - and win!

Baskins Robbins is hosting a "Create Baskin's Next Favorite Flavor" contest! One lucky winner who submits a new flavor combination on BR's website will get a free trip to Boston and their concoction will be sold in BR stores everywhere. So, that's fun.

But the real question: What absurd, revolting, and/or funny combinations can you come up with?

We're suckers for a "pick things and combine them" game - kind of like putting all the options into your fantasy car on the manufacturers website. You can make all the normal, fun, tasty combinations (Dulce de Leche with fudge and brownie pieces, anyone?) or, in the less appetizing area, how about bubblegum ice cream with Nutter Butter icing and pieces of pie crust on top? Even better, can you come up with a name for your concoction? Ours will be called the "Depressed Valley Girl." You don't have to actually give away personal information to play, which is the best part.

If you make a good one, you'll win from BR. If you make a bad one, you'll win from us. Best combination in the comments gets our undying respect and affection. In addition, you will get a cookbook from our selection of review copies - we'll even give you a list to chose from.

Puddle of melted mint ice cream, swirl of hardened chocolate fudge, haphazard sprinkling of peanuts topped with deflated whipped cream served with a sidecar of Excedrin. This looked much more appetizing at the bar two hours ago. Meet the new flavor, "Walk of Shame"!

Puddle of mint ice cream, smudge of fudge, haphazard sprinkling of peanuts and deflated whipped cream served with a sidecar of Excedrin. This looked a lot better at the bar two hours ago... Meet the new flavor "Walk of Shame".

Alright, this reminds me of a time I told my friends that I liked every flavor of ice cream ever made and said, "Why don't they just make one called Doggie Doo out of chocolate with chocolate chunks. I'd still eat it!"

I call mine the "Kickback." A pure vanilla on the outside, something green like Irish mint on the inside. Always placed on a waffle cone and served under the table.

Peppermint Peanutbutter Pudding - Peppermint Ice Cream with nutter butter swirls covered with maple bread pudding. Yum

Jamoca ice cream, dark fudge, popping candy: "The Hipster". One part caffeinated, one part rich, one part obnoxiously bright. Add a few PBRs to it and you probably wouldn't want it at your party either.
