Ice cream flavors

Posted on Written by

Sophia informs me: “My favorite ice cream flavors are chocolate and Tweety.”

Took me a little while to remember that the ice cream truck at the park sells “Tweety” ice creams.

  2. I live in the Detroit area and we can get it at any grocery store. I found a link on the Melody Farms web page that takes you to The Sanders web page. you can order some online. You gotta love the internet

  3. Thanks, Lisa.

    I’ll call the number Monday.

    Anyone ever had Vernor’s ice cream? It tastes like Vernors soda. Is it still made?

  4. I hate this site, it doesn’t give me any information on which tastes better, chocolate or sherbert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hate this website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Yes, Ray, I have had Vernors ice cream. My mother would take me to Saunders at the mall when I was a little girl and I would get it. It came in a sugar cone. I don’t know if they still make it but if they do, I would really love to have some. Its been 30+ years since I have had it.

  6. URGENT:
    Has anyone ever heard of “Piece o’ Cake” ice cream? I have had it once at some little rinky-dink ice cream shop years ago and haven’t seen it since. I can’t find anyone that makes it, I can’t even rememeber if that is the name of it. It is basically vanilla ice cream with chunks of yellow cake in it. I would like to know where I can find some, as I am looking to get some as a special treat for my girlfriend for valentine’s day (it’s her favorite flavor). Any place that would ship it to me? I am located in NY.

  12. I love cinnamon ice cream. I found out that strohs makes it but I can’t find it anywhere. I live in Lansing MI. Does anyone know where I can go to get cinnamon ice cream?

  15. BLUE MOON ICE CREAM IS NOT ALMOND FLAVORED! AND IT IS MADE BY MOONEY’S. ANYTHING ELSE IS JUST A COPY! GOOD LUCK FINDING IT EVERYONE! I GREW UP IN OSCODA MICHIGAN AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE!

  16. Bruce’s post (reproduced below) is correct. I grew up with Joe Mooney (of the Mooney’s Dairy family) in Saginaw, MI. He confirmed this with me in a conversation we had about 30 years ago! The “Moon” in Blue Moon is a reference to his dad, who devised the flavor. I’m not sure about the other posters here claiming lots of other sources of Blue Moon ice cream — but can only guess that they were knock-offs or possibly licensed through Mooney’s…

    The original Blue Moon Ice Cream was made by Mooney’s Dairy in Saginaw Mi. Stroh’s bought out Mooney’s some time ago but they still make Blue Moon with the same recipe as did the Mooneys. There are many other flavors that are the Mooney’s recipes and there are some new ones too. Stroh’s ice cream is totally different and not as creamy and good as Mooney’s. The original Blue Moon does contain pineapple tidbits and the flaver is considered to be pineapple. The blue color was added to make it not so pale and to be different from vanilla. You can still buy it at Mooney’s Ice Cream Store on State St. in Saginaw. We just came from there and yes they had Blue Moon in the 3 gallon tubs just like they always have had it.

  18. Found Blue Moon at the Meijers grocery store in Richmond, Indiana. Tasted exactly like the Blue Moon of Kilwins, Petoskey, MI; Mackinac Island; Spanky’s of Alanson, Michigan; Yummy’s in Harbor Springs, MI.

  19. Okay I have a friend in New York that has never had Superman ice cream or Blue Moon and I was not aware till now that its a Michigan thing. Anyone have any idea where in upstate NY you could find it???

  20. I like Superman Ice Cream. I get it in a restauraunt at the mall. I try to look for it somewhere else. It’s not even in a grocery store.
    I’m even surprised Wal Mart doesn’t even have it.
    It’s my favorite.

  23. My boyfriend and I have been in search of a icecream I do not believe exists. Please help me find or end this argument of whether there is a vanilla swiss almond flovor icecream. Not chocolate but vanilla swiss almond. Thank You.

  24. Although I don’t know if it’s been mentioned or not before, I’ve found several places in Illinois over the years serving the elusive Superman ice cream that I so covet. For starters, I believe the best of the bunch is at a Breyer’s stand, most notably the one in Gurnee Mills, Gurnee. Sadly, I think take home was a little pricey, but more than worth it. I’m in Bloomington, IL right now, and I know the Kroger stores have a gallon for $4 (of which I am sucking on right now) that is good, albeit not as good at some others. In Carol Stream, there used to be a TCBY that had just the most wonderful Rainbow/Superman ice cream, but it’s not there any longer. If you can find a TCBY near you, it’s great.

    However, concerning the flavors, everyone has a different theory of what it is. I don’t taste anything really fruity about it, or much of a variation between colors, personally. I always thought it might have a slight hint of bubblegum, but I think it tastes far better. Still, not really sure. Hershey’s says it’s banana, strawberry, and blueberry, but I hate all those flavors, myself. O_o Oh well.

    I’d like to try some of that Blue Moon, though. I’ve never heard of it before!

  25. I was searching for ice cream online & happened to come across these posts accidentally. I have lived all my life in Michigan and while I have finally learned that Meijers aren’t nationwide, and that Grand Rapids has an extraordinary amount of churches compared to other area I never had a clue we had limited ice cream!!! I’m now afraid to move away from home, LOL. Growing up, after the sunday night service, half of our church would head over to an ice cream shop in Dorr called the Dairy Ranch- common practice!

    Anyhoo- onto important matters– camping last year I tried an *awesome* flavor called Chocolate Monster it had been bought in a large tub/bucket. I cannot find it anywhere!! Its chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirls & chocolate covered peanuts. I’ve been searching ice cream sites but have yet to find anything. Does anybody know who makes it or where I could find it??

  29. In the late 70’s early 80’s my grandmother would take me to an ice cream parlor that served grape ice cream. It was absolutly wonderful but I can not find it anymore. Does anyone know about this ice cream and where I might could find it?

  31. Hey everyone!!!

    I think Superman icecream is definately the best! I always walk up to Stroh’s with my friends and we get icecream there. Does anyone know where you can actually buy a tub or box of superman icecream?ｿ?ｿ? I want to eat it when I’m at home, or if we have a party u know?

    ~Thanks alot~

  32. HEYY

    If you go to icecream.com you can find many flavors at a place near you! You have to click on the flavor finder (I think thats what its called) Sorry, they dont have superman listed lol

    I also found out what is in Superman ice cream. Strawberry, Bananna, and yes, Blue Moon. 🙂

    I just went to 5 places looking for superman ice cream and stumbled upon your site while doing a search for this yummy delicious treat that is SUPERMAN ICE CREAM. Even baskin Robins didnt� have it, and after they told me that they don稚 carry it i walked out. WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO� where a man can稚 walk into ANY store and get some SUPERMAN ICE CREAM. I once ate 5 gallon bucket of icecream at a party my freshman year of college. WOOHOO FOR SUPERMAN ICE CREAM

  36. I just made a bet. The bet is that I think Superman ice cream is three flavors. I’m not sure what flavors they are but they are sure good. The other side of the bet is that Superman ice cream is just colored Vanilla ice cream. Please someone help me clear this up. Thank you.

  37. I need to find out where I can get choclate malt crunch. Apparently its hard to fin, and I have this girl telling me she will do anything for it. thanks!

  38. Ilove strohs lemon custard Ice cream.I live in Fort wayne,IN and would like to know if there is anywhere close to here that I can purchase it from or if it can be ordered?

  39. For those of you in the Cleveland, Ohio area, Olympia Gourmet Treats has Blue Moon (no chunks), Superman, Bubble Gum, Happy Birthday Cake, etc. 11606 Pearl Road, Strongsville, Ohio. Olympiacandy.com.

  40. Hi Tera I was just on a website Bruster’s.com and they have grape ice cream. there is also a map and if you click on your state it will give you the address and phone number to the one nearest to you.

  41. Hello everyone, I have a question, What is in Sleeping Bear Dunes Bear Hug, made by Hudsonville Ice Cream. I sell Ice cream at a tractor show every year in West Michigan, I need another chocolate flavor. I’ve tried Chocolate Monster but didn’t think it was that great of a seller. I am getting French silk, but what other flavor should I add that has chocolate ice cream. Any suggestions? thanks

  42. BLUE MOON – is also made in Scottsdale, Az. by a small shop that was featured in SUNSET magazine. They ship upon request. The store is called AUNTIE EM’S. The owner says it’s a very popular flavor with roots originating in the midwest. Now mostly a “blue moon” flavoring; however, originally — spoke with the lead chemmist at the flavoring company that supplies Hershey’s and other proprietary frozen confection businesses — it was a mish-mash of flavors. Old ice creams melted down, combined, and then refrozen. Yes, some pineapple used to be involved, rarely now however, along with a little pistachio (probably where you get your nutmeg tones), and some marshmallow. I believe Food Coloring was added to turn it a more desireable colour. Now it’s simply a blue ice cream that isn’t made, but flavored. Afterwards some people put various bits in there, one being pineapple. Some people use it as their base flavor for SUPERMAN ice cream as well.

    Oh yea, I’m the owner of Auntie Em’s! Have a background in chemsitry and went to grad school for bio-physics. I looove ice cream. nice little posts. have a great day.

  44. Just opened up a soda fountain/fudge store, we carry Blue Moon and Superman ice cream, made by Hudsonville in Michigan. Stop by to taste them, we’re located in Three Oaks, MI, store name is Oakers Fudge Factory.

  45. Blue Moon, Superman, and Bubble Gum ice creams were all favorites growing up with a summerhome in Sister’s Lake, Michigan. We had the Cone Dock on Round Lake that carried Sherman Dairy Icecream with all those flavors. If we were up for a 30 minute drive we would head up to South Haven, Michigan to the original Sherman Dairy or the Tin Roof (I think it was called) in the middle of nowhere, Michigan. We now currently have a summerhome in South Haven. It is great to be able to find Sherman Dairy at any of the local Icecream Shops, Beach Concession Stands, Local Grocery Stores, and especially the original Sherman Dairy on Pheonix Rd. There was an icecream shop in Chicago on Diversery and East of Clark St. that carried Sherman Dairy Ice Cream, but it closed. Where can I find it in Chicago?

  46. Does anyone know what title I would look up to find “Ice Cream Truck” Service? I live in Sarasota Fl. and only saw one truck in 2 years come through. I have a 3 year old son and wish he could experience the “ice-cream truck” experience like I did when I was a kid. I just don’t know where to begin to find a service to call to ask to come through our Neighborhood!

    Thanks, Ashley

  47. Blue Moon tastes like:

    Marshmallow, but not
    Orange, but not
    Mint, but not

    It’s indescribable. Cedar Crest makes it, but refuses to ship it. Bastards!

    I just had a sugar cone of it today @ the Milwaukee County Zoo. It’s hard to find in the grocery store during the winter. But in the summer it’s a tradition.

    Someone was asking about Cinnamon Ice Cream, Cedar Crest makes that as well.

  49. The Windmill on Lake Nokomis outside of Tomahawk, Wisconsin serves Blue Moon ice cream.

  50. Hi does anybody know who makes just a regular grape ice-cream ,search everywhere and cannot find it.I live in Canada and it was a very popular
    and know nowhere to be found,please help
