We asked for your votes and you delivered! Over 15,000 votes were cast in the first four days of Turkey Hill’s Ultimate Flavor Tournament and eight winners have emerged from the Sweet 16 round. Those favorites will now face off as the “Delicious Eight.” The new polls are up on the right, so be sure to get your votes in to decide who makes it to the “Frosty Four!”
Remember, at the end of the tournament, we’ll give away a free one month supply of ice cream to 10 commenters chosen at random and one lucky reader will receive a ONE YEAR supply of ice cream.
As always, here’s Ernie’s expert feedback and predictions on this week’s match-ups:
Raspberry Duetto vs. Light Recipe Moose Tracks
“These are two very different flavors, except for the fact that both are lower in fat and calories than most ice creams. Both cruised to easy wins over their competition in the first round, so I expect a hard fought battle here. In the end, I predict a narrow win by Moose Tracks over the Duetto rookie.”
All Natural Mint Chocolate Chip vs. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frozen Yogurt
“Mint Chocolate Chip had the biggest margin of victory in the first round and really looks strong in this tournament. It’s got momentum, it’s got flavor and it definitely has fans. It’ll take an upset for frozen yogurt to win this match-up.”
Eagles Touchdown Sundae vs. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup
“I’ll be watching this one closely throughout the week. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup is a favorite in the tournament, but Eagles Touchdown Sundae is coming off a big upset over Phillies Graham Slam in the first round. Anything can happen here.”
Vanilla Bean vs. Black Raspberry
“Does anyone stand a chance against the vanilla powerhouse in this tournament? There are a few flavors that might be able to put up a fight, but I think this might be the end of the line for Black Raspberry. Don’t get me wrong, I love Black Raspberry, but they just look a little overmatched here.”

My daughter had her wisdom teeth out yesterday, so my kids have eaten a whole carton of Vanilla Bean light in peanut-butter-banana-chocolate smoothies in less than 24 hours. I went to the store to get more ice cream, and they had Turkey Hill ice cream samples. This was my first time for the Root Beer Duetto. Yum!
For the tournament, I’m hoping one of my favorites — the mint chocolate chip — wins it all.
I think the chocoholics missed the voting on this one! Since theres’ no Extreme Cookies and Creme or Chocolate Marshmallow, I’ll have to go with the Mint Chocolate Chip.
Van. and Mint Choc. are going to be the last 2 standing.
My dream job is to taste test new ice cream flavors. I’ve been told God will give us the desires of our hearts in Heaven, so I can’t tell you how many times I’ve prayed that endless delicious bowls of Turkey Hill await me in eternity!
I totally love your chocolate peanut butter cup.
I missed the vote for this one!
I can’t believe that chocolate peanut butter cup (ugh!) is winning over raspberry duetto, and vanilla bean is ahead of mint chocolate chip. Wake up America!!!
