Best Ice Cream on Earth

[creekster]

I e not seen any in the Houston area, which is bad... And good.

I once had some Braum's in McPherson Kansas. Tasty.

I've never tried those, but I like the Rachel Bilson commercial. Could use some re-branding, though, as it always makes me think of condoms.

Not sure about the availability outside of San Francisco, but I really like Three Twins. Highly recommend trying if you see it at your local Whole Foods (i think it might be playing the organic angle, not sure).

Blue Bell? Seriously? If you´d said Blue Bunny, ok, maybe, but Blue Bell? Come on, doc.

I disavow this post. Blue Bell Christmas Cookie is good merde.

Ha. I was just talking with a guy the other day who went to law school in Ohio, and he was raving about Graeter's Ice Cream. He is originally from Texas, so I asked him how it compared to Blue Bell. He said Blue Bell is good but Graeters is definitely better.

There are lots of excellent ice creams on the market. But nobody makes a better vanilla than Blue Bell.

I know that you guys tend to own the creamery corner, but some of us Utes appreciate ice cream too!

So that will give us Blue Bell on the north side and Hagen Daz to the south. I tend to just stick with Anderson's.

Half of Blue Bell's sales come from their Homemade Vanilla....or so they told me on one of my 3 tours of their factory. While I don't disagree with many that there are probably other ice creams that are better, most of those are specialty ice creams that are either sold in specialty stores or parlors or they are sold by the pint. When it comes to buying a half gallon of ice cream for a party or event, there is nothing as good as Blue Bell. I eat about a half gallon of ice cream every two weeks

As mentioned, I served my mission in Oklahoma. Just about every ward missionary split (4 times a week) ended up at Braum's as a way to kill time and enjoy the end of a hard day. You would think that I'd gain weight, but as a 19 year old who rode a bike 20 miles a day, Braum's was no problem. I'd love to be able to eat ice cream every night again....

This week I came across the Sister Missionaries in our ward walking back from a teaching appointment that didn't go well. We gave them a ride and invited them to Braums with us for ice cream. When we arrived at Braums, their zone leaders were already there.

Graeters is ab-fab. In what could fairly be categorized as one of the gayest moments of my adult life, YOhio and I were in Columbus and grabbed a scoop of graeters ice cream together. I don't regret a minute of it!!!

Blue Bell is very good, but it's not in the top echelon of ice creams. It's a very good choice for a practical, yet affordable, ice cream.

I'm an ice cream addict. I eat a bowl a night so I know my stuff. My favorite of all time is a little ice cream place on the ile de saint louis in Paris France. Anyone who has been there at night in the summer knows exactly what I'm talking about.

I see that EJ's opinion of Blue Bell has improved as he has stayed in Texas. A few more years and he will be putting in the top echelon of ice creams.

Ice cream < > chicken tenders on the gayness scale?

I make a mean pineapple sherbet. Mmmmm.

I just moved to OK, and they are everywhere. So far, I've stuck to my "one a week" indulgence, but it's getting more difficult.

My kids tell me there are a couple places you can actually get Blue Bell in happy valley. One is at Carrabba's (the "John Cole"). The other is some relatively new ice cream joint, Ike's Creamery at the Provo Beach place...
