New York Super Fudge Chunk (Ben & Jerry’s)
Ben & Jerry's (ice cream) wanted to break into the New York City market, and the product called "New York Super Fudge Chunk" certainly helped them to do it.
It's great stuff, but not great for losing weight.

Chocolate ice cream collides with white and dark chocolatey chunks, pecans, walnuts and chocolately-covered almonds.
New York Super Fudge Chunk was first launched in 1985 in New York City, of course. The flavour name was chosen as part of our strategy to enter the intensely competitive New York market in an unforgettable impression on New Yorkers, particularly a food critic who said our flavours were "not thrilling" & contain only "chips & bits" which seemed "rather sparse." Our response to this was to ensure this flavour contained 40% more chunks (by volume & by weight) than any other flavour the company made; the extra expense was totally justifiable because the flavour tasted incredible, it always be popular. It did & it is.
13 March 1985, New York Times, "Food Notes" by Nancy Jenkins, pg. C9:
Ben & Jerry's ice cream, which has become a favorite throughout New England since Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield began making it in an old gas station in Burlington, Vt., seven years ago, is arriving in New York markets -- though not without a certain amount of controversy.

Newly created for the New York market is New York super fudge chunk, a dark rich chocolate with chunks of chocolate and walnuts.
