This New Ice Cream Is Going To Be A Nightmare

In my never ending quest to get out from under the rock I live in, I've tried a new ice cream flavor, so you don't have to.

I seriously don't know what it is lately.  But it seems like everything I enjoy these days (in perishable products these days, that is)...is a limited edition.

And not the kind of limited edition where it's super expensive and fancy and all that... just... they aren't going to make it for too long, so if you like it, TOUGH.  That's kind of how I feel about this Blue Bell ice cream I tried.

Now keep in mind, I am not a person who has Pop Tarts or Toaster Pastries or any other brand of... whatever they're called on hand.  I used to keep some, but never strawberry flavor.  SOMEONE didn't like it and preferred the brown sugar ones.

But, I thought to myself, 'Behk, if you don't try this, then you'll never know.  And after all, don't the Gentle Readers out there deserve all the information!?"

See what I'll do to justify it?  It's for work, guys.  For work.  So anyway, let's look at this stuff.  No obvious smell, which is fine. No little plastic on the top of the ice cream, but I buy ice cream so rarely these days that I don't remember if Blue Bell does that on the regular or not.

Guys.  This... is insane.  If you can't see the picture below I'll transcribe.  It says it's a vanilla flavored ice cream with strawberry pastry pieces, colorful confetti sprinkles, and swirls of strawberry sauce with white icing.

Guys.  This is... so sweet.  But so, so delicious.  The strawberry swirls aren't too thick but present enough, the sprinkles haven't gotten soggy, the pastry pieces aren't too big, and the icing is familiar.

That's just it, ya'll. Simple, but killer.  I will tell you - If you're looking for strawberry POP TART, this is not the flavor for you.  Because this is not Pop Tart.  This is Toaster Pastry.  Like, the generic, cheaper version you knew as a kid.  The kind with the little almost crispy bits of sugar on the sides.  This is the ice cream of that thing.

And my problem is, it's delicious.  BUT IT'S LIMITED EDITION.

I'm sorry, J-Hope. You shouldn't have had to see that.

I googled the flavor, and it was always meant to be temporary, and for most stores, it's already well and gone.  I managed to snag up the last one in the case at the food library that sounds an awful lot like another word for a forest.  So they may or may not have any more, but I wouldn't count on it.

Which is too bad, really.  Cos this is dang tasty.  Like, I went into this thinking I would hate it, and that I would write a funny little article about  how lame it is and how I can't believe this happened and blah blah blah.   Proper name, backstory stuff.  The complete opposite happened.  And now.... we may never see each other again.

Blue Bell, you may make delicious ice cream from Texas to distribute to the Midwest, but you and I are officially FIGHTING.

We are at odds until this is a regular, all year round flavor.

Enjoy our one sided feud. My annoyance may or may not manifest in a hot letter later.

Pastrily Yours,
