bluebell still months away from returning

[Russ81]

Blue Bell will be back, I seriously doubt a Texas Icon will be replaced with this **** they call ice cream. If they go down I will start making my own ice cream, I'll never buy a pint of Dreyers, B&J or blue bunny!

I'm really not happy about this, my day feels so incomplete without a bowl after dinner.........

So the FDA says cleaning was inadequate in 2013 and nothing happened till 2015. Listeria can't be that bad. If it was they would have done something sooner.

No joke, just from the quick reads I have had I'd question the EPA as much as I question BB.

Prayers for their recovery. Lot's of families in the Blue Bell family.

Lucky, wife ate quite a bit of it while preggo with our 2 kids in the 2013-2014 range. Avoided sandwich meats and other things, but ice cream wasn't on any list given to us as high risk.

As for me. All is not right with the world. It's Springtime and that's cobbler time and cobbler is no good without a giant scoop of ice cream to try to induce a sugar coma.

After a company has a hit such as this, it's very hard to come back from. Ever since HEB has come out with creamy creations, blue bell has been on the decline.

How'd you come up with this piece of information. I know many, many people that work at HEB from department managers all the way to unit directors and HEB despises BB because no matter what they did display/ promotion wise BB always moved out of the freezer way better than that crap HEB calls ice cream. As a matter of fact one told me just last night that there locations ice cream sales as a total are down since BB was pulled. He also told me that HEB and Dreyers are gonna start running more promos as an attempt to try and get people to put that crap in there baskets because it's still not moving with BB gone and they are just baffled at the marketing level.

so as for Me, Since I finished my last 1/2G of Dutch Chocolate I have yet to purchase another brand. BB will be back and I will bet that demand will be so high they wont be able to supply enough in the 1st few days. If I had to wager the #s on how much BB is worth and the $ backing there return Id bet on there return. JM2cents

And this is why........

I mean I like ice cream okay, but I find it so funny how crazy it is over ice cream. I think from a business perspective it's horrible that a local company is struggling, and I hope they come back because they are good for texas. I just don't like ice cream enough to miss it I guess. I do love me some of their ice cream sandwiches as it sit here and think about it though...

HEB cream creations isn't bad but eating feels a little bit like cheating on my wife.

I had to fess up to the Mrs that I tried the HEB frozen milk. I will eat almost anything sweet, but that stuff tasted strange, the 1905 vanilla didn't taste like vanilla, tasted like frozen milk.
I think it's about time to make some real homemade ice cream.

It's getting rough without BB.

[mjhaverkamp]

I don't buy much ice cream but when I do it is only Blue Bell, hopefully they come back as strong as ever.

[Slew]

We made vanilla last night to go with brownies for Mother's Day! It's gonna be like finding 22 shells when they come back!!

[Russ81]

I laugh and tell everyone that jade Helm might be true...

If you want a revolt take away Dr. Pepper, Copenhagen and Blue Bell and the Marines won't be able to quell Texas!

[skeeter]

By the time all of the lawsuits are finished , I doubt there will be a bluebell company left, but they may re-brand and try a comeback

won't BB's insurance cover the lawsuits? can't wait for BB to make a comeback. luvs me some pralines n cream!

[brrdnk]

Whish I had a bowl right now of cookies-n-cream.
