I just bought two half gallons of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla.
Vanity | 8/31/15 | Me

I just bought two half gallons of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla in Central Texas.

There was a line big enough to buy out the entire stock

I have Blue Bell in my freezer. Neener. Neener.

Blue Bell executives and managers did such a lousy job running their manufacturing plants they ended up having to close them. Not a food product I want.

We’re sorry. Perhaps they can improve Braums.

I’m coming for lunch. Won’t even dirty a bowl and will bring my own spoon.

Our local Kroger’s sold out in about 30 minutes. Manager said it was the only thing most people were buying. We’re going tomorrow morning.

Understand first batches are coming out of Alabama. Don’t believe Oklahoma and Texas plants are running yet. Soon.....

They won’t do it, but Blue Bell could make up the months of financial loss in a day with scarcity pricing. I know I’d pay $15 per half gallon....

I was exiled in Oklahoma City for three years and could only get Braums. Blue Bell is far superior to Braums

Roger that.
I spent 2 years and 4 months in Tulsucks.
Some of the local tribe (literally, I worked in an Indian Hospital) were pining for Braums one day so I joined them. Could not understand what the excitement was about. Of course they never had Blue Bell.
Not a fanatic for it but the Homemade Vanilla is the real deal.

This discussion about Braums and Bluebell ice cream is getting to be like comparing the Chevy Silverado with the Ford F-150.

Made me look... Blue Bell began in 1907. Blue Bunny, owned by Wells Creamery, had it’s name chosen in 1935 in a “name our ice cream” contest.
