I tried all 31+ flavors of ice cream at Baskin-Robbins and ranked them from worst to best
Did you ever dream of walking into an ice-cream shop as a kid and asking for one of everything?
As one of the top ice-cream franchises in the US, Baskin-Robbins has been serving scoops since 1945. The chain was originally known for its 31 flavors of ice cream, but between seasonal rotations and menu updates, it’s offered more than 1,000 flavors over the years.
I got to live out my 7-year-old fantasy for the ultimate taste-testing adventure: Trying every flavor at my local Baskin-Robbins.
I entered the chain at 11:02 a.m. on a Wednesday, and Ginnette was the only worker there. She single-handedly scooped, packed, and labeled all 33 flavors — the standard 31 plus two bonus flavors — in less than 32 minutes.
In the most important journalistic investigation I’ve ever undertaken, I ranked every flavor from worst to best.
