Baskin-Robbins is making a few changes. The ice cream retailer, famous for its 31 flavors, has announced that five of the flavors are going into what it calls "deep freeze." Think of it as the ice cream equivalent of forced retirement.

The five flavors on the cusp of retirement include Campfire S'mores, Apple Pie a La Mode, Caramel Praline Cheesecake, Superfudge Truffle, and, in a sign that no flavor is safe, French Vanilla. French Vanilla! No word yet on the new flavors.

This isn't the first time the ice cream outlet has put flavors in deep freeze. In the past, they have retired such flavors as "Lunar Cheesecake" (released in 1969, after the United States put a man on the moon), and in 1996, "Saxy Candidate" (in honor of Bill Clinton, then known more for his love of jazz music than of ladies).

Those flavors were pretty famous, as far as ice cream goes. Some lesser-known varieties have also disappeared from Baskin-Robbins over the years. For example, according to the company's official site, "Condorman Crunch" — named after the flop 1981 movie "Condorman" — was around for a while. Equally bizarre: the "Temptation Island" flavor, named after the trashy reality TV show of the same name.


Temptation Island had a very salty taste .... :(

Temptation Island was a piece of fucking burrito ass suck. If they had named that flavor Love Cruise, it would still be going strong.

They just had an add saying that they make the sundae's in the little baseball helmets. I used to love getting those things at the DQ. I have damn near the entire league, and what are now some sweet throwbacks.

I saw those at The Cell a couple of weeks ago. I used to have a ton of the DQ ones, but for some strange reason, I never got either Chicago team.
