Why Grape Ice Cream Will Never Be a Thing

Though there are many products where grape flavor can be welcome, such as juices, sodas, popsicles, and (of course) the actual fruit, the one place you’ll rarely find a grape is in your ice cream.

Many conspiracy theories have been floating around as to why the lowly grape has yet to make its way to the creamery, but you might find that the real reason is the simplest of all.

Let’s review.

The main idea running rampant around the Internet blames the absence of grape ice cream on the Food and Drug Administration, which banned the flavor because of pet-related hazards.

The legend goes that Ben & Jerry’s created a delectable grape ice cream which was then served to a lucky customer who loved it so much that they fed a bit of it to their beloved dog, who immediately died of anthocyanin poisoning. (Anthocyanin is a chemical found in grape skins, and it’s poisonous to dogs and cats.)

After the incident, the FDA ruled that no ice cream manufacturer may sell grape flavored ice cream.

Put the ice cream on TOP of fruit pies or coblers. And all of that vanilla that people claim is “boring” has purpose

In the south, we love grape juice. Welch’s was consumed since childhood. Southerners pour a bit of the diluted juice into their iced tea making a ‘punch’ for the younger generation. A lady in the neighborhood makes a terrific Bing cherry jelly (delicious with roast pork!)
She also makes a jalapeno jelly that really rocks your boat.

However, like you, the grape candy is not to be trusted. Bubble gum, gum drops, the grape “penny candy” was avoided at all cost.
