Blue Bell Ice Cream Is Almost Here
Get ready for some possible craziness in the frozen-foods aisle at Publix (or Albertsons or Winn-Dixie) this Monday — Blue Bell, the iconic ice cream from Texas, is arriving in South Florida for the first time, according to the Sun-Sentinel. Publix has been carrying it in Jacksonville and Orlando for a few years, but South Floridians had to go to Outback Steakhouse or Carrabba's Italian Grill to get a sample of the ice cream. Soon, you'll just be able to go to the supermarket.
I've never tried the ice cream, although a former roommate who'd grown up in Oklahoma and Texas swore by the stuff. And according to the article, the company is testing a new flavor in the South Florida market called Tropical Paradise with coconut ice cream, crushed pineapple and macadamia nuts. That definitely sounds like a winner to me.

I would still stick with my Haagen Dazs ice cream since Blue Bell uses corn syrup in theirs. That's a no-no in my book.
