The most popular Ben & Jerry's flavor had been "Cherry Garcia" for more than a decade until 2013, when a survey taken{{by whom|date=July 2021}} of the general public found Cookie Dough was the winner with 60%.{{citation needed|date=July 2021}} The company website states (as of December 2020) that the most popular flavor is "Half Baked", with "Cherry Garcia" placing second, and "Chocolate Fudge Brownie" following in third.<ref name="Dec2020List">{{cite web | url=https://www.benjerry.com/whats-new/2020/12/top-flavors-2020 | title=Top 10 Ben & Jerry's Flavors of 2020 | publisher=Ben & Jerry's | date=December 23, 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210501111231/https://www.benjerry.com/whats-new/2020/12/top-flavors-2020 | archive-date = May 1, 2021 | url-status = live|access-date=July 27, 2021}}</ref> It is unclear to what degree the popularity of flavors reflects their availability. In the United Kingdom, "Cherry Garcia" ice cream has disappeared from supermarkets, and those who desire it must obtain it from a Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.benjerry.co.uk/flavours/cherry-garcia-ice-cream |title=Cherry Garcia Ice Cream |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=<!--Not stated--> |website=benjerrys.co.uk|publisher=CSC Corporate Domains, Inc 3rd party data source |access-date=July 26, 2021 |quote=Get This Flavour: Find a Scoop Shop}}</ref>
