Actually I agree that Godiva ice cream is generally disappointing. They have one good kind -- only. The other chocolate flavours are disappointing (and there are a dozen). Only the Belgian Dark ice cream is any good. Baskin Robins also has a dozen chocolate flavours, and only 1 is noteworthy (the chocolate mousse royale); and it isn't one of their regular flavours. As for real chocolate, Godiva in the US is very different from Godiva in other countries. Godiva in Belgium is quite good, while in the US it is average (and not worth the price). This was discussed in detail a few years ago, so not really worth bringing up again.

Double Rainbow is good ice cream for US style. I think their coffee blast is their best flavour, but the chocolate is worth seeking out (a lot better than anything Ben&Jerry makes, as a point of comparison). But limited distribution, so not available to most of the US population. While Godiva seems to be everywhere. Sometimes availability makes up for an inferior product. And it is still far better than "conventional" ice cream.
