It all started with two brothers-in-law. The "31 flavors" slogan began in the '50s. The most popular flavor was a homemade recipe. The flavor selection has changed with the times. Those pink spoons are iconic. Baskin Robbins. Arguably, the most off-putting flavor that never made it out of the Baskin-Robbins lab was one that sounds like it never should have been invented in the first place: ketchup-flavored ice cream. Even adding a cutesy name — which they surely would have come up with — can't change the fact that this vinegary, tangy sauce is for burgers, not for ice cream cones!
For Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins, ice cream wasn't just a business: it was life. These two guys loved ice cream more than some people love their spouses, and they had some pretty eccentric ideas about how to incorporate it into their daily lives. Robbins, for example, would have his family sit around the dinner table and taste-test his new product ideas, which seems normal enough.
But what's a little less normal is the fact that he also had an ice cream cone-shaped pool built in his backyard. Thank goodness he stopped short of filling it with Pralines 'n Cream as far as we know! Robbins would also put ice cream on his cereal for breakfast in the mornings, and would go through "a quart of ice cream every two or three days.

It can feel like you can't eat anything "fun," and that you always have to be paying attention to what ingredients are in the foods you do eat, and to how they are put together. Many times, foods from restaurants or shops are not kosher, meaning that they aren't prepared or eaten in a way that fits into the Jewish dietary law, so your options for eating out can be limited. In fact, only about a third of foods found in most grocery stores can be considered kosher.

When Burton Baskin and Irvine Robbins introduced new Baskin-Robbins ice cream flavors to the public, they were usually big hits with fans everywhere.
In one case, though, a new flavor got out of hand, and had to be pulled from stores in a hurry. In theory, the flavor was a fairly innocuous one. Robbins named it Cold Duck Ice, and it was meant to taste like cold duck sparkling wine. Sounds innocent enough, right?
Unfortunately, Baskin-Robbins managers in Japan interpreted the flavor in an entirely different way and decided to promote it by hanging literal cold ducks up in their stores. These dead ducks dangled from the ceiling like some sort of macabre Christmas decorations, and Baskins and Robbins were horrified.
Robbins was quoted as saying that when they found out about it, "We almost collapsed. When you start a new business, especially one which involves as much invention and creation of new flavors and textures as Baskin-Robbins does, you are bound to come across a few problems every now and then. One of the biggest problems that popped up in the Baskin-Robbins lab went by a name that sounds anything but troublesome: Goody Goody Gumdrops.
While honing this new flavor, which includes, as the name implies, chewy gumdrops, Irvine Robbins discovered that once the candies had been frozen in the ice cream, they became extremely hard and difficult to eat. Not wanting to break his customers' teeth thanks for that! This step in ice cream creation revolutionized the ice cream business, and led to an experience that was a lot more enjoyable than the ones at some other ice cream stores, where even to this day you still have to work much too hard to chew up the add-ins.
