BEN and Jerry’s fans have been begging the ice cream chain to bring back an iconic flavor, but luckily there’s still a way to bring the sweet summer dessert back to life.
Shoppers know and love Ben & Jerry’s for its wild ice cream flavors, but that doesn’t mean customers haven’t critisized the brand for some of its lineup choices throughout the years.
Fans were horrified when the brand discarded its popular Banana Split flavor.
The treat was a delicious banana and strawberry combo ice crean filled with walnuts, fudge chunks and a fudge swirl.
Despite its mass appeal, the item was discontinued and quietly disappeared from stores.
At the time, shoppers demanded the product return to shelves.

“I was so mad when Ben & Jerry’s discontinued the Banana Split flavor,” said one Twitter user. “I’ve craved it since then.”
Luckily, there’s an alternative if you just can’t bear a freezer without the iconic banana-y ice cream treat, and it’s located in most grocery stores.
The Oatly Banana Split ice cream offers a similar taste without any of the dairy.
The frozen treat similarly combines both banana and strawberry with a chocolate fudge swirl.

Fans of the original Ben and Jerry’s Banana Split flavor have been praising the dessert for its taste as well.
The original Twitter user who complained about Ben & Jerry’s loss wrote: “Saw Oatly had a Banana Split flavor and was like omg! It’s actually aight enough to satisfy that craving.”
OTHER DISCONTINUED TREATS
Sweets lovers have also been floored to learn some of their other favorite treats are missing in action at the grocery store.
This includes the Hershey’s S’mores bar, which offered the perfect chocolate treat for the summertime.
It debuted in 2003 and found great success before disappearing from stores altogether.
The dessert bar featured a delicious layer of marshmallow cream sitting atop a graham cracker crust that was drenched in chocolate.
Hershey’s Kissables also drew noteworthy attention when they launched several years ago.
Each Hershey Kiss was coated in colorful, crunchy sugar shells, giving them an M&M look with the Hershey chocolate inside.
In 2021, Hershey fans started a Change.org petition to try and get Kissables back in stores.
It gained thousands of signatures as shoppers shared their fondest memories with the Kissables.
"They remind me of when things were better and happier and I want a piece of that," wrote one person.
Another discontinued sweet treat is the pistachio-flavored Oreo Thins.
Oreo confirmed the cookies were unavailable in 2020 after shoppers said they were “impossible to find" on store shelves.
Many shoppers called out the cookie brand in hopes it would reintroduce the snack in stores.
One Twitter user said: “Please bring back pistachio Oreo thins. They disappeared with the pandemic. It’s time.”
