Ben & Jerry's "30 Rock" Flavor

"30 Rock" ends Thursday, January 31. There's only one way for fans to mourn on this sad day: eat a lot of junk food, Liz Lemon-style.

Thankfully, Ben & Jerry's has made that a lot easier, by revealing that the company's next ice cream flavor will in fact be in honor of "30 Rock". We're so overcome with emotion about this, that we think we might be lizzing.



The details of the flavor will be released by co-founder Jerry Greenfield at a New York City finale party steps away from Rockefeller Center. Some tickets are available to the public.

The flavor will be available at Ben & Jerry's scoop shops starting in February and on grocery shelves shortly after.



While we don't have too many more details to report at this time yet, it is worth noting that a Ben & Jerry's e-mailed press release started with the now-famous Liz Lemon phrase "I want to go to there."

This isn't Ben & Jerry's first foray into the comedy arenas. Last year, the company released Schweddy Balls in honor of the famous "SNL" skit (we're noticing an Alec Baldwin trend here...).

Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon both have their own flavors as well.

Ben & Jerry's has revealed the new flavor honoring "30 Rock": Liz Lemon Greek Frozen Yogurt with a Blueberry Lavender Swirl.

The news was announced by co-founder Jerry Greenfield at a party Ben & Jerry's threw for the series finale of "30 Rock", on January 31. The Huffington Post got an early taste of the new pint and found it to be pretty good -- the lemon wasn't cloying and the blueberries rounded out the floral taste of the lavender.



However, we felt slightly disappointed by the choice in flavor since ingredients like lavender and blueberry don't really represent the spirit of "30 Rock". There was unanimous consensus that to truly honor Liz Lemon and her affection for junk food, Ben & Jerry's would have needed to release an ice cream that felt more gluttonous.

Instead, the Liz Lemon Greek frozen yogurt felt too delicate to name after a woman famous for talking about cheesy blasters.





Ben & Jerry's first introduced Greek frozen yogurt in February 2012 with four different flavors.

Phin & Phebes, a Brooklyn-based ice cream company, has also been inspired by "30 Rock". While its "Lizzing Lemon" flavor may be fictional, we'd like to think that there's no such thing as too many "30 Rock" ice cream possibilities.

Liz Lemon Greek frozen yogurt will be available at Ben & Jerry's scoop shops in the next few weeks and on grocery shelves shortly after.

Lemon and Blueberry? Yellow and Blue; those are the official colors of Leap Day! Leap Day Williams would swim out of the Marianas Trench for this!!!

I love it when a joke works on so many levels.
