I hate that. They tried to keep paying their employees. It's just gone on so long, I'm sure they probably are going to be facing bankruptcy.

The good news is they will probably sell out when the product returns.

Man, this stuff must have been awful good.

Can't imagine the business will be worth much at that point.

Greg, I certainly don't think it's the best ice cream ever (good home made is the best ever followed closely by Baskin Robbins - that's my opinion) but it is a brand that belonged to our state like no other so had a very faithful following.

It's great stuff.
If you get a chance try their Luscious Listeria flavor.

I disagree. Blue Bell is better than Baskin-Robbins (I like B-R, too). Personal taste.

Personal taste.

You are right about that. I like a very creamy ice cream which comes, I think, from adding guar gum to commercial products.
