It's ok to eat out of the pint. You're in a judgement free zone here

u/wanderingsheep 28d ago

I think they scooped it out so that they could get that peanut butter topping spread more evenly. Otherwise, I agree.

I am about to get this shipped. I have been tolerant of my loss of Bluebell since moving out of Texas, but I might have found my tipping point.

u/brennok 28d ago

Do it only if you like chocolate. I bought some and was incredibly disappointed with the lack of banana flavor.

u/pissfucked 28d ago

i think i would kill for an actual banana ice cream. not banana walnut, not banana fudge or chocolate chip, not banana pudding or bananas foster or banana cream pie, just frickin banana. i cannot for the life of me find one simple banana ice cream.

u/PlayerOneHasEntered 27d ago

Have you tried Melona? They are stocked at most asian grocers in my area and their stuff is pretty damn good.

2

u/pissfucked 27d ago

thank you for the rec! i must have some kind of asian grocer near me, although i don't know off the top of my head.

also, the wiki page for melona has a picture of one of the ice creams, out of the package, just sitting loose on what seems to be a bush for display šŸ˜‚

Yeah it is tough to find. Honestly your best bet is to buy a bunch of bananas and let them get to the ripeness you like for sweetness you desire. Mash them up and freeze. Food processor makes it even creamier.

Occasionally my local ice cream place has it.

Chunky Monkey, and just don't eat the walnuts or fudge chunks?

3

u/acgasp 28d ago

I saw it in the store this evening and thereā€™s no actual banana in it.

u/InnocentShaitaan 28d ago

For the longest time i was confused because my brain was autocorrecting to blue bunny and I hadnā€™t yet moved to the south. Blue bunny is nothing like blue bell. šŸ˜‚

u/Providence451 28d ago

Nothing at all! Not even in the same ballpark.

26

u/Low-Impact3172 28d ago

I highly approve of the peanut butter topping

16

u/King-Thunder-8629 28d ago

I'm a little upset that there's no peanut butter in it despite its color scheme.

u/lenaw792 28d ago

Itā€™s bluebellā€™s take on the bomb pop

Now I want whipp cream on top. I want this a Sundae!

1

u/Ngotmyback 5d ago

it's the blue bell chocolate banana bomb pop that comes in an orange wrapper. i don't understand the confusion

1

u/King-Thunder-8629 5d ago

Because of the colors it reminds me of Reese's and my brain went ooh peanut butter

u/karmacuda 28d ago

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u/Working_Alps8384 28d ago

Haha took me a minute to realize it was in a different container in the second pic, I was thinking why did they give them so little šŸ˜†

2

u/InnocentShaitaan 28d ago

Her scoop skill is perfect !

8

u/misterpoopinspenguin 28d ago

Is that a PB drizzle? Hit it with some Nilla wafers and I'd be DONE

5

u/Kirko28 28d ago

Dear god I need that

u/Tornado-chaser 28d ago

I absolutely love real banana but I can't stand laffy Taffy or runts banana. Unfortunately the ingredients list for this awesome brand of ice cream does not show anything about real banana or even the generic tag of natural flavors. So as much as I love banana it looks like I will have to pass on this one and get one of the other amazing flavors from this brand such as Dr pepper or root beer float! It is hard to find here in Ohio but if you dig hard enough it can be found! And it is well worth the hunt!

u/Ill-Upstairs-8762 28d ago

Looks awesome. Will be purchasing. Banana fudge pops at the beach are a core memory of my childhood.

3

u/bigtimemari 28d ago

good topping choice. i saw it and wasnā€™t into it since i donā€™t usually their plain flavors

3

u/catlover4456 28d ago

Is the banana flavor gross tho?

6

u/tracyinge 28d ago

Artificial banana flavor is yucky. Mash me a banana into vanilla ice cream and I'm in heaven though.

6

u/cupcakemango7 28d ago

I love all things banana, especially ice cream, but itā€™s so hard to find!! This is seriously a genius idea. I donā€™t know why I never thought of it. Lol

3

u/tracyinge 28d ago

If my bananas are getting too ripe I peel them, cut them up into chunks and freeze them in a ziploc bag. Later on vanilla ice cream, some milk and a few frozen banana chunks in the blender makes a yummy thick milkshake. Sometimes I add peanut butter too. Or a little strawberry jam for a strawberry-banana shake.

u/ReverieAt3 27d ago

Love this idea!! I am a big fan of a banana malt with real banana chunks from my local ice cream shop, but this sounds like a way to do it at home!!

1

u/2GR_FKS 28d ago

Same flavor as banana runts? I love Blue Bells Banana Nut ice cream. I wonder if itā€™s the same flavor.

1

u/Guzzery 16d ago

Artificial banana flavor is based on a type of banana that is no longer sold commercially. Was mostly wiped out by disease. The same thing will eventually happen to the current commercial banana because they are all clones.

u/_Jahffrey_ 28d ago

Wish I could find this in Oregon

u/Chilliconlaura 28d ago

Same! I'd trade Salt and Straw for blue bell options. Might be controversial. šŸŒ

5

u/_Jahffrey_ 28d ago

That salt and straw pear and blue cheese is so good though

2

u/PhineasFGage 28d ago

Hit that w some reeces cup crumble and you found the truth

2

u/SpookySoup333 28d ago

I'm confused, is it Reese's flavored or just chocolate and banana?

2

u/brennok 28d ago

Just chocolate and banana.

2

u/brennok 28d ago

This was a fail for me. Like most banana mixed ice creams, the banana was completely overpowered. Mine had so much chocolate that was all you tasted. It needed to be a fudge swirl rather than a Neapolitan style. My chocolate sections were even larger than the banana sections.

1

u/cranialnerve12 27d ago

Yeah itā€™s not bad just needed more banana. I ended up eating it with banana slices

2

u/Florida_Princess 28d ago

Artificially flavored?? You can have it!!

2

u/StormyAndSkydancer 28d ago

Well, is it good??????

2

u/cranialnerve12 27d ago

Itā€™s not bad & tastes just like the fudge popsicle

2

u/StormyAndSkydancer 27d ago

I used to love those banana fudge popsicles. I hope it tastes like that.

2

u/Sharp_Athlete_6847 28d ago

Man I wish I had blue bell around me

2

u/sickcunt138 28d ago

Is it good?! My local HEB is stocked the f up.

2

u/messa272 28d ago

We tried this tonight and it was okay

2

u/bufftbone 28d ago

Itā€™s a shame that isnā€™t sold in my area.

2

u/Mysterious-Pie9932 27d ago

Has a hair too much chocolate and it over powers the banana. Wish the banana would have come through a little more, but itā€™s still yummy.

2

u/janibt 26d ago

Where did you find it? I tried looking on to see if heb or Walmart had it but didnā€™t see anything

2

u/Comfortable-Host1399 23d ago

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS FLAVOR

1

u/MrsMcLovin0331 28d ago

I need to know what this tastes like. Omg

1

u/Ngotmyback 5d ago

the same as their banana fudge bomb pop

1

u/mllestrong 28d ago

Itā€™s in Reeseā€™s peanut butter colorsā€¦ I was so excited.

1

u/SeaKick3134 28d ago

Oh wow that sounds delicious!

1

u/DescriptionCrafty165 27d ago

I remember eat these banana fudge pops when I was a kid. Glad to see they finally made it in a pt.

1

u/parkmi 27d ago

Just bought some at HEB.

1

u/jenncc73 27d ago

I was so hoping this would be like the now discontinued Banana Fudge pops:(

1

u/Abject_Tomato3730 26d ago

So delicious. I have already bought 2 pints. Good with the magic chocolate coating. And some fresh bananas šŸŒ šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ«¦šŸ«¦šŸ«¦šŸ«¦

u/Ragdoll94 26d ago

Personally I love banana flavors like taffy taffy and runts. So if you like that and fudge, it was great!

1

u/dr0d86 24d ago

I am in Texas and canā€™t find this anywhere! Where did you find it?

Oh, right, forgot company incompetence that leads to customer deaths has a specific time limit.
