You may cherish July as the first full month of summer and a time to celebrate America's independence, but for Ben and Jerry's, it's a month to celebrate their pride and joy: ice cream.

"Way back in 1984, Ben & Jerry's took a fan suggestion and were the first to drop big chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough into a batch of creamy vanilla. The rest is ice cream history."

The Most Popular Ben & Jerry's Pints in America
Coffee Toffee Bar Crunch
In efforts to source only non-GMO and fair trade-certified, Ben & Jerry's swapped Hershey's Heath bars for fudge-covered toffee chunks.
New York Super Fudge Chunk
After receiving less-than-stellar feedback from a critical New Yorker, the ice cream duo decided to concoct a flavor jam-packed with intense chocolate chunks, almonds, pecans, and walnuts. The result? A tub that boasts 40 percent more chunks than any other flavor ever made.
Strawberry Cheesecake
Leave it to Ben and Jerry to create a scoopable cheesecake that requires zero assistance from a fork. This fruity blend is adorned with cream-cheese-infused ice cream and a rich graham-cracker swirl.
Americone Dream
Stephen Colbert donates his share of the famous pint's proceeds to a charity of his choice. That totally alleviates the act of spooning into nearly 300 calories and 28 grams of sugar.
Phish Food
Inspired by a "real spiritual connection" with Phish, the ice cream moguls partnered up with the rock band to create a one-of-a-kind flavor. For the first time ever, the duo acquiesced to external demands (band insisted on caramel), and Phish Food was born.
The Tonight Dough
Shoo away the sleepies with a heaping serving of this cookie dough- and peanut butter-packed treat so you can finally stay awake through Jimmy Fallon's late-night monologue jokes. Totally worth it.
Chocolate Fudge Brownie
How can you go wrong with rich chocolate ice cream studded with freshly-baked fudge brownie chunks? Trick question—you can't.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
As the world's first-ever chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, it's no wonder why this glorious pint remains one of the top-selling flavors.
Cherry Garcia
Believe it or not, fans suggested this stellar combo of cherry ice cream with cherry pieces and fudgy flakes. Leave it to Ben and Jerry to name the tub after Grateful Dead's legendary singer and guitarist.
Half Baked
Whether you're craving salmonella-free cookie dough or coddling the eponymous state of mind, Half Baked is America's go-to for five consecutive years.
