Here’s an alert for all our Indy readers….Blue Bell ice cream is now available in all Meijer stores in Indianapolis, Indiana.
You can read more about it at: http://www.bluebell.com/the_little_creamery/Press_Releases/press_indy.html
Blue Bell is a Texas brand ice cream, and not available here in DC. If you haven’t had a chance to try it, I wholeheartedly recommend it. It is absolutely beloved by all Texans, and the company slogan is “We eat all we can and we sell the rest.”
When I was a kid, I would joke with my mom that I wanted to hijack a Blue Bell ice cream delivery truck. I also used to regularly come up with new ice cream flavors and send the company suggestion letters. Alas, chocolate strawberry chunk and chocolate pecan-oatmeal cookie only existed in my mind until I got my own ice cream maker. (Do you detect a theme?) Maybe someday…sigh…
Now, don’t stop with just a taste of the ice cream. I also recommend next time you are in Austin or Houston that you make a day trip to Brenham and tour the Blue Bell Creamery. It is awesome! The tour includes a free generous-sized sample of any flavor you want, and you get a paper hat. How cool is that?
I understand that there is now a production facility in Sylacauga, Alabama, too. I’ll get my brother and his girlfriend (who is from the Yellowhammer State) to check that out for us and report back.
