Tuesday, June 7 is officially National Chocolate Ice Cream Day, so the KitchenDaily editors decided to put 14 different brands of chocolate ice cream to the taste test to determine who makes the best. After a round of testing among the KitchenDaily editors, we did another blind taste test with our co-workers here at AOL. More than 20 people showed up to determine which brands were the best and worst. The editors rated each brand on a scale of one to five for texture and chocolate flavor. Then we asked our coworkers to rank their favorite and least favorite brands from one to five. The top pick for each category received five points, the second four points, the third three points and so on. The highest score for each category translated to the worst and best choices. In the end, we came up with one overall winner and loser. Read more: http://www.kitchendaily.com/2011... - CarlC, spelling expert from Bookmarklet

I was surprised by their #1 - CarlC, spelling expert

I'm surprised (and happy) that's is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. Tomorrow, should be vanilla. Thursday, strawberry. :) - Shevonne

I'm up for that, Shevonne :^))) - CarlC, spelling expert

Blue Bell is 4th?!?! NO FREAKING WAY. - Kristin

Their #2 is my #1. Trader Joe's ice cream is basically relabeled Double Rainbow. - Spidra Webster

I'm partial to Turkey Hill, but I like Friendly's too. Ben & Jerry's is better than either, but I have the other two more often. - John (bird whisperer)

Man, Friendly's?! I haven't heard of them since I used to go to their restaurant in Fredericksburg. I think we should all do a virtual taste test of all 14 brands and see if it's true. ;) - Shevonne

Kristin, I haven't tried Blue Bell, but I'm up for the task ;p - CarlC, spelling expert

I thought it would be a premium brand too, Michelle... - CarlC, spelling expert

I'm a fan of Turkey Hill as well, John. Never tried the Friendly's brand (and I haven't seen it at major supermarkets, at least on the east coast)... - CarlC, spelling expert

I'm a big fan of Double Rainbow chocolate sorbet - that stuff rocks. - Corinne L

another one for Blue Bell, eh? I'll have to put it on the shopping list :) ... As for Double Rainbow chocolate sorbet, that does indeed raaaawwwkkkk! - CarlC, spelling expert
