Boy, they really just want us to stay on the couch and eat ice cream forever, huh?

Ben & Jerry’s Boots on the Moooo’n

It’s a THIRD collabo between Ben & Jerry’s and Netflix, ladies and gents.

First there was Netflix & Chilll’d, which… I’m wayyy ahead of you, Ben & Jerry’s. That’s basically what I’ve been doing for all of 2020, except for the part where any girl would ever talk to me, let alone touch me. My game is a lot less “Netflix & chill?” and a lot more “ice cream & you ignore my texts for four months before I finally get the hint.”

Then there was Chip Happens, which… ain’t that the G** damn truth. Have you been alive this entire year? No you haven’t, because all of 2020 is basically a mulligan. Just forget it happened.

And that brings us to the new Ben & Jerry’s Boots on the Moon, a flavor inspired by the new Netflix original series Space Force, which stars Steve Carell and I’m pretty sure is just The Office but in out space. (It’s not.) Here’s the critic’s consensus from Rotten Tomatoes:

An all-star cast and blockbuster-worthy special effects aren’t enough to keep Space Force‘s uneven blend of earnestness and satire from spinning quickly out of comedic orbit.

Are you pumped?!

This new flavor follows the Ben & Jerry’s “core” model, with a “universe of milk chocolate ice cream with fudge cows and toffee meteor clusters orbiting a sugar cookie dough core.

This is a mostly beautiful ice cream, with the milk chocolate base providing a nice dark backdrop to highlight the the sugar cookie dough core and glistening almond toffee clusters.

Here’s what’s fine about the ice cream: everything. The milk chocolate base is smoother and sweeter than their normal one, the almond toffee clusters are sticky, nutty and crunchy, and the sugar cookie dough core is gritty and tasty. The fudge cows are fudge cows.

Now here’s what’s fiiiiiine about the ice cream: nothing.

There’s just nothing about Boots on the Mooo’n that gets my engines purring at all. I really don’t feel like the flavors join forces in any additive way. I found myself mining for toffee clusters, then kinda got bored with them and moved over to the sugar cookie dough, which didn’t blow me away either. I only kept consuming it because I was bored.

Which, coincidentally enough, is exactly what my friends told me about Space Force…

I can’t wait to not watch Space Force on Netflix!

Burning Questions:

1. Why won’t you watch Space Force Because I’m not finished watching The Office a million times yet.
2. If Ben & Jerry’s made a flavor for The Office, what would it be called? That’s What Cream Said.
3. That wasn’t your best. THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID.
