Thirty-one Ice Cream, as Baskin Robbins is called in Japan, just revealed four new “flavors of love” to be released in time for Valentines Day 2014. You might think that love tastes different depending on who you talk to, but the popular ice cream chain suggests it actually tastes like armaretto chocolate, berries, cheesecake and chocolate raspberries.
Their featured Valentines flavor is armaretto chocolate with pale pink heart chocolates that are meant to represent “faint love.” It’s a bitter Valentine flavor representing a stage of “more than friends less than lovers.”
Their next flavor “packed with deep red hearts” is Love in Berry, made with raspberry and blueberry ice cream with raspberry chocolate hearts. The Lovestruck Cheesecake flavor, meant to represent “falling in love with a wonderful boy” is made with strawberry cheesecake ice cream with strawberry and cheesecake bits and a fudge ribbon. Their final Valentine flavor is Love Potion 31 made with raspberry and white chocolate ice cream with a raspberry ribbon and chocolate hearts. Maybe your crush will fall in love with you if they eat this “love potion” ice cream.

Baskin Robbins will also release special sundaes in honor of the second most romantic day of the year in Japan (Christmas being the first).

So be sure to remember to go to Baskin Robbins Japan on Valentines Day (or any day in February) and pick up some Love Potion 31 just in case you need a little help wooing that man or woman of your dreams.
