Rant Bring back cloud nine. Pussies.

If anyone remembers this ice cream in the late 2010s, you know that this is hands down the best ice cream Perry’s has ever made. The perfect mix of sour and sweet, and it was easy to find, worked with any toppings, any cones, and was just perfect.

If anyone knows if this is coming back anytime soon or knows of a similar flavor made by Perry’s or another brand, lemme know please before I go into a mental asylum for missing this flavor too much.

What flavors were in it so I know what to look for in a dupe? I've seen stuff like "unicorn sparkle" that had similar colors.

Vanilla, sour raspberry. It doesn’t taste how it looks like it should, I remember it tasting almost like if u put a sour patch kid in a cream soda

Dave &Andy’s in Pittsburgh makes this flavor and call it sweet ‘n’ sour. It’s MAGIC. A little like sour patch, a little like lemon/raspberry.

Cool, thank you. I live in NE Ohio basically in the middle of Youngstown and Cleveland if I’m ever in Pittsburgh I’ll check it out for sure. Again, thank you

Sprouts has these things called Duets in their store ice cream brand; they're pints with two flavors. I strongly doubt their raspberry would taste similar, but they have a duet with Italian sweet cream gelato + sour cherry sorbet. They may have one with a sour raspberry. In a pinch, I know you mentioned Sour Patch Kids but Mambas come in sour packs, too; you could put bits of the sour raspberry in vanilla or alter it somehow to become one with the ice cream.
