Baskin-Robbins is losing 5 of its 31 flavors.  Forgive my selfishness, but I am sooooo happy that my personal favorite, Pralines and Cream, has been spared!  When I visit the store, I am consistent.  I ask for a cup with one scoop of Pralines and Cream and one scoop of strawberry.  There is nothing better.  Just love it.  Yum, yum!

Baskin-Robbins is putting five of its signature 31 flavors in the deep freeze.

The company, which has thousands of outlets around the globe, is replacing some old flavors with new ones to celebrate National Ice Cream Day in the U.S. on Sunday, and Baskin-Robbin’s 65th anniversary.

Caramel Praline Cheesecake, Campfire S’mores, Apple Pie a La Mode and Superfudge Truffle are leaving the list. French Vanilla, a staple since 1945, is out, too.

Srinivas Kumar, chief brand officer at the company, said “over the decades we have retired some of our iconic flavors into our deep freeze — like ‘Miami Ice’ from the 1980s and ‘Beatlenut’ in the 1960s — but never before have five flavors gone into the deep freeze at one time.”

Have you checked the condition of your gutters recently?  Gutters are one of those household parts that people tend to forget about. Consequently, they can become neglected and fill with flowers, dirt, snakes (yes….snakes!) and any other assortment of items and debris.

What happens if gutters are not cleaned?  Well, several things can happen, ranging from a flooded basement to a rotted porch or deck to damaged landscaping to name a few.

UpperCrust Maids will be offering gutter cleaning, commencing in mid August, 2010.  Check out further details by pressing HERE.
