Ben & Jerry'sThe iconic Ben & Jerry's flavor known as Cherry Garcia was actually made because of an anonymous customer suggestion about making a flavor in honor of Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia. The flavor debuted in 1987 and is one of the brand's top three most popular flavors. Jane Williamson was eventually credited for the original anonymous suggestion and the mix of cherry ice cream, whole cherries, and fudge flakes is available in grocery stores everywhere. As our editorial director put it: "It was a revelation."
