THE ULTIMATE FLAVOR TOURNAMENT (ROUND 5): THE FINAL TWO!

Posted by: Turkey Hill Team

The Ultimate Flavor Tournament is designed to determine the best Turkey Hill ice cream flavor as determined by your votes. Each week we’ll narrow down the field until just one flavor is left standing. We’ll also choose 10 comments at random from all the comments left during the six week showdown and each commenter will receive a one month supply of Turkey Hill ice cream and we’ll choose one lucky comment to receive a ONE YEAR supply of ice cream.

And then there were two. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup put up a good fight early last week, before fading to finish eight percentage points behind Vanilla Bean. Meanwhile, Light Recipe Moose Tracks continued its amazing run to the final round with a decisive win over Tastykake Peanut Butter Kandy Kake.

Instead of asking Ernie for his opinion of who will win the Vanilla Bean vs. Light Recipe Moose Tracks battle, we decided to let each flavor plead its case for why it should be named Turkey Hill’s “Ultimate Flavor.”

VANILLA BEAN

“First, I’d like to congratulate my opponent for getting this far. It’s been a long road for both of us and we both deserve to be here. Why should I, Vanilla Bean, win the Ultimate Flavor Tournament? Well, I won it last year, which should count for something, and I go great with just about everything. You can dress me up with tons of different toppings. Go ahead, imagine me drizzled with chocolate and caramel syrup, topped with whipped cream and chopped peanuts. I look good, don’t I? And, I didn’t want to have to mention this, but Vanilla is America’s number one selling ice cream flavor…by a mile. Considering all that, I think the choice is pretty clear.”

LIGHT RECIPE MOOSE TRACKS

“Wow. I, uhh, really don’t know what to say. This whole experience has been pretty overwhelming and I’m so honored to be here representing not only the Light Recipe line-up, but every other Turkey Hill flavor who’s not afraid to mix things up with a little something extra. Why should you vote for me? Because a vote for Light Recipe Moose Tracks is a vote for all the fun that goes along with enjoying ice cream. I’m vanilla with fudge swirls and loaded with peanut butter cups…that’s a pretty exciting combination! I’m a Light Recipe ice cream, but I’ve got all of the flavor (and sometimes more) of just about any other ice cream in the Turkey Hill line-up. Oh, and I was featured on an episode of Unwrapped when the Food Network visited Turkey Hill. You gotta admit, that’s pretty cool! ”

I voted for Vanilla because my “very vanilla” husband loves it and there are so many things you can do with it.


Trevor Bensel wrote:

Moose Tracks ice cream is vulumptuous! (I think that’s a word) :) I love how the peanut butter cups melt in your mouth with the cold feeling. Also, moose tracks lite recipe are amazing because my mom gets it now because it’s lite recipe so she doesn’t go overboard on her diet. How convenient! GO MOOSE TRACKS!


Susan Barger wrote:

My son grabbed the lite recipe moosetracks at the store the other night. I was on my second cup when I realized it was Lite! I was so… excited. In the past when we’ve (mistakenly) grabbed a lite icecream, it ends up going to waste.Up until now I’ve been vanilla bean all the way – I think I have a new favorite. Please don’t make this a “sometime” icecream.

Now – if you would consider packaging in the gallon sizes…

I think Vanilla Bean is the best. It tastes so good and you can mix whatever you want in it like sprinkles. I always look forward to having some.

What can I say Moose Tracks Light-SIMPLY THE BESTco


Robert Ritzer wrote:

First you change your half gallon containers to 1.5 quart containers while still charging the full price, and then you charge the grocery store five cents less for the container. Ridiculous! There are other good ice cream companies in the world, and they charge less than TH. Consider me a former customer.

Nothing wrong with Vanilla Bean but having that delicious mixture of flavor and texture is hard to beat. Keep up the great work at Turkey Hill


Judy wrote:

Vanilla Bean!!! While I love trying flavors of any kind, I always come back to Vanilla Bean…and if I’m in the mood for another flavor, I can turn Vanilla Bean into it!! :)

I really couldn’t decide. I’m a huge vanilla fan but not vanilla bean just plain vanilla. I’m a big fan of the light ice creams so I went with Moose Tracks.

Vanilla should be #1 again- it’s the most versatile ice cream there is- alone or in shakes or thousands of desserts- its flavor can NOT be beat!

Come on folks, vanilla bean is the most versatile of all. Try it with fresh fruit – strawberries, blueberries, peaches or with great toppings – chocolate, caramel, butterscotch, or peanuts and with plenty of whipped cream. Nothing better!

Moose Tracks is the ultimate ice cream…less calories, yet so delicious with those amazing peanut butter cups..it’s the best!!!

As much as I love the ability to dress up the vanilla bean and its rich delicious and creamy flavor, I am sorry I have an addiction to the Light Moose Tracks. Just gotta have my chocolate, and Moose Tracks is soooo delicious.

Being Light really pushes Moose Tracks over the top.

Go Moosetracks!!!!!!! Vanilla Bean is going DOWN!!!!! Finally.


Rashaun wrote:

They are both terrific ice creams, But Vanilla Bean gets my vote. There is just something about the smooth rich taste of vanilla bean that makes it a delicious treat. Moose tracks tastes good but at times it can be so overwelming. all those tastes together. If I want chocolate carmel and peanut butter in my ice cream i can just add it to vanilla bean which if my tastes buds are up for it will make it taste all the better.

Go Moosetracks. Delicious and a more healthy choice in comfort food!

Moose tracks is the best by far. I had a heart attack and now light ice cream is all I eat and we especially like MOOSE TRACKS. Yum Yum are the peanut butter cups. It is such an enjoyable taste with each spoonful we either get creamy fudge or else a mini PB cup. Vanilla bean is good but Moose Tracks rule the world. Go Moose Tracks!!!!!!

There is no way to allow for some people’s tastes. No matter what the results are, I still prefer Skinny Minty light and urge everyone who has not tried it, to do so. I think you will agree more with my choice than the results of the voting.

My Mom recently passed away and now, each time I have a bowl without her, I know she is smiling down on me and enjoying the moment as much as I am. I know she has her ice cream in Heaven, and it would have to be TURKEY HILL MOOSE TRACKS!!! Go MOOSETRACKS!!!

MOOSE TRACKS!! Reminds me of woods: walking on a winding dirt path (those thick, delicious ribbons of dark chocolate) “littered” with droppings (peanut butter cups) on a breezy day with blue sky and white puffy clouds (vanilla “lite”). Those are each great things; but the sum is greater than the parts! And ESPECIALLY Turkey Hill’s Moose Tracks Lite!!! Other brands’ comparable flavors don’t even come close. [I'd sure hope I win a year's worth....]

I am so happy to see Moose Tracks ahead and I hope it stays there. It is delicious and you wouldn’t think it’s light if you didn’t know.


Jess wrote:

Mmmmm, I love Vanilla Bean. Almost every time my husband and I buy ice cream, we buy Vanilla Bean first, and then add one or two other of our favorite Turkey Hill flavors. It just goes so great with everything. We particularly love combining it with homemade apple pie, and also using it in delicious smoothies. Go Vanilla Bean! :-)


kare wrote:

Yes I agree. Vanilla ice cream and hot apple pie go hand and hand. An american tradition that must live on.

I was always a fan of Vanilla fudge or Mint chocolate chip but Moose Tracks has become my new favorite. The combination of vanilla fudge ice cream with caramel and peanut butter cups makes ever bowl of ice cream a sundae!

Having a great tasting Moose Tracks ice cream in a “Light Recipe” allows me to enjoy a bowl whenever I want without feeling guilty.

Have to say that when it comes to ice cream, you need Vanilla Bean so you can go in ANY direction with that bowl. Add to it, put in in something, on something, eat it “bare” – you just don’t have that versatility when you have a combination ice cream – even one as GREAT as Moose Tracks – so VB gets my vote.

I just voted for Moose Tracks — not only because it is delicious, but also because it represents a line-up of light flavors that I hope will continue to expand — instead of my waistline! Thanks for giving us more taste and less guilt.

I feel like a traitor to old faithful vanilla though. On a hot day nothing beats a frosty mug of root beer with a BIG scoop of vanilla ice cream. And I love the pairing of HOT fudge with COLD vanilla.

Got to have Vanilla. Vanilla goes with everything but can stand on its own. What other flavor can say that?!

The kicker is that Moose Tracks tastes great—and is less filling, too! Nothing against vanilla–it’s one of my faves, too, but the fact that I can include MT as part of my mindful diet kicks it right over the old edge for me. Go Moose!

A sucker for the underdog, I had to vote for the Light Recipe Moose Tracks. And I do specifically remember that episode of Unwrapped — love it!

Everyone loves Vanilla, especially Turkey Hill but MOOSE TRACKS hits the spot with those awesome additional flavors which please the senses. Truly the winner and it is even “Light” which is just an extra bonus to the Turkey Hill experience.

It’s a race between the plain and a mixture. Everyone has their own taste. If you like vanilla you can vote for either flavor. If you like to mix it up you can vote for light recipe moose tracks. Are we ready for a new winner this year? Possibly. I favor the vanilla with fudge swirls and peanut butter cups.

There’s just so much you can do with vanilla to get different tastes, such as, if I want a peanut butter taste I put a couple spoonfuls of peanut butter on it and some chocolate syrup! With pie or cake ala mode I don’t think you can beat plain ‘ole vanilla!!

Whoa! We weren’t sure what to expect when we checked the polls this morning, but we definitely weren’t expecting to see Moose Tracks leading by such a significant margin.

It’s good to see so many Tracks fans rallying around their favorite flavor. But it’s still early, and the polls don’t close until Monday morning. Where are all the Vanilla fans?

I am glad to see I am not the only one who thinks vanilla is boooring. Vanilla is a good base but requires nuts, chocolate fudge, whipped cream to make it tasty while moose tracks or a fruit or nut flavor stimulates your taste buds

Why buy plain ole vanilla and then have to ADD stuff to make it taste better??? Just buy Moose tracks to begin with, no doctoring up necessary–it’s already all in there. And it’s light, to boot. It doesnt’ get any better than that…

My two favorites fell out after last week. :-( So, I will have to fall back to tradition and root for good old vanilla bean.

I love reading this blog; it’s just so much fun. My vote is for Vanilla. There’s a reason it is the number 1 ice cream flavor sold in America.
