MONTPELIER, Vt. : Ben & Jerry's has done it again: Hoping to honor rocker Elton Johnbefore his first-ever Vermont performance, Vermont's crazy-coolconfectioner has whipped up a flavor just for him — "GoodbyeYellow Brickle Road."
The limited-batch ice cream, made from "an outrageous symphony ofdecadent chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butterbrickle and white chocolate chunks," is a take-off on his 1970salbum and song "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."
It will be available from July 18 to July 25 in the company'sVermont scoop shops, with proceeds going to the Elton John AIDSFoundation, officials said Tuesday.
It'll also be doled out in cups, cones and dishes at John'ssold-out Champlain Valley Expo show Monday.
The Burlington-based ice cream maker — whose rock 'n'roll-themed products have honored late Grateful Dead guitaristJerry Garcia ("Cherry Garcia") and Vermont-bred jam rockers Phish("PhishFood") — wanted to toast John because he was finallygetting around to playing the Green Mountain State.
