Why 200 Lids?

Well, it's a long story. In May of 2002, I saw Jerry Greenfield speak. I told him that I had just enjoyed a B&J flavor named "Raspberry Gone Coconuts" and he told me he's glad I liked it because it was going to be discontinued. A few days later I went to Safeway and bought a few intruguing B&J pints just in case THEY became obsolete. There must have been something not just in trying those flavors but in somehow collecting them or at least chronicling them. I kept the lids and at some point, made it my mission to try EVERY Ben and Jerry's flavor. Since that event more than 21+ years ago I've spent hours trying to track down, sample and get the lids of every commercially available pint including some that happened to be available via kismet where I was such as "Texas Bourbon" when I was in TX and "Phish Ice" when I was in NYC.
