I have tried all the usual spots, Their stands, Metro, Shoppers Drugmart, Loblaws, Food Basics, No Frills, Sobey's, Price Chopper and Wal-Mart and nothing.
I have been looking for 3 different ones they are: If I had 1,000,000 flavors (new Barenaked Ladies spin), Steven Colbert's Americone Dream and Brownie Batter or Cake Batter.
Any advice/tips/places will be greatly appreciated

The ones (Shoppers) near me are well crap Queen and Carlaw and Pape and Danforth. Which ones did you see it at?
The Metro at Gould and Chruch didn't have it either :(

If I had a 1,000,000 flavours is available at Longos, and my local convenience stores in Markham. Good luck finding Americone Dream, Brownie Batter or Cake Batter ice cream. I don't think those are even released outside the States.

Did the Ben and Jerry's on Queen St. W. close down for good? I know they used to only be open during the summer, but now they arn't even listed on the Ben and Jerry's website.

As far as I know, Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream is not available in Canada. There was a campaign for them to ship some here (if I recall correctly) but nothing came of it. >:( Too bad Canadians can't taste the 360 degrees of flavoUr.

Cake Batter and Americone Dream are U.S. flavours. You'd have to go to Buffalo to get them. The good news is, Ben and Jerrys costs half as much in the U.S. as it does here.

Wow, any customs charges or anything like that? Wanted to try those but after looking at the fat content per 1/4 I am going to hold off on it. It's 53% per 1/4 :-0 guess that's where all the taste is

Nope, I think you can take something like $20 of dairy products per person across the border duty free. I always do a lot of grocery shopping whenever I'm in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area since there are no duties/taxes on most food products. Last time I was there, Wal-Mart had Ben and Jerry's for $2.50 at regular price.

Also, it's Stephen, not Steven.
And I saw BNL's B&J ice cream at the Metro in College Park. It was ridic expensive though, like $6.29 or something. Apparently it's delicious so I considered spending it.
I'm hoping Loblaws carries it because there's a sale this week on B&J!
