A few thoughts on the 2005 rankings:
- Vanilla has historically been our most popular flavor because it's used in so many of the sundaes and frappes that we make.
- Interesting that the popularity of our award winning Double Dark Chocolate has made the Chocolate our number one seller when you combine it with our standard milk chocolate.
- I resisted making Mocha Chip for the longest time, as I thought it was too similar to our Coffee Chip. Team Leader Janelle pestered me to make it, and when I finally did, look at how popular it became. (Of course, that might just be due to the amount Janelle ate herself!)
- Several of the flavors (e.g., Brownie Blast, Black Raspberry Oreo) might have ended up higher on the list if we had offered them as part of our regular lineup from the start.
- A bunch of the lower ranked flavors were done as tests as part of our "flavor of the week" offerings.
