What's in Rocky Road?

I didn't realize that Americans also had Rocky Road, Heavenly Hash or even Moose Tracks. Be that as it may, I think that these flavours are becoming more universal in availability. The local dairy (Kawartha) has a list of their ice creams posted online and a description of each, which I will post below.
A brief story on purchase value:
I made a purchse at Ben & Jerry's in the Beaches (Toronto) last July. I got a small (single scoop) cone of Cherry Garcia. the friggin thing cost $4.31 for a small single scoop which they called the children's size. I almost returned it because it was so ridiculously small. I saw a girl leave the store with a waffle cone, with what I termed a normal sized scoop, and asked her what she paid for it. $8.75. !!!!!!!!!!!
On a weekend trip to the cottage, two weeks later, I stopped at the Kawartha Dairy kiosk (Minden, Ontario) and ordered a small cone of rum & raison. I got as much icecream on that cone as you would find in a tub of Haagen Daz. Cost? $2.89. There was so much ice cream that I skipped dinner. Now that's value.
The Ben & Gerry's store in the Beaches went out of business in July. You see, people aren't stupid.
