Here Are Our Favorite Would-Be Flavors From Weckerly's #PintOfTheWeek Contest

This may be your only chance to add "ice cream inventor" to your resume.

Weckerly's

The nice folks at Weckerly's want you to be happy, they want you to live your dreams, and they want to put your face on a pint of ice cream. It could all happen if you're the one who dreams up the best new flavor idea for their second annual #PintOfTheWeek contest, but if you want in, you'll have to be quick: The contest ends today, February 3.

To enter, email Weckerly's or direct your idea to any of their social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), and hashtag it #pintoftheweek where appropriate. Here are the prizes and very official rules:

4) International Bragging Rights
