I was supposed to stop in the town in Iowa where they are from when
I was on my trip to Montana last fall. Unfortunately I was able to
get there. I have seen it around here - Walmart carries it - but
I haven't tried it yet. Not sure if I'm ever going to. I doesn't
sound like the sort of ice cream I like - which is stuff like Haagen
Daz, and (once upon a time) Fruzen Gladje (sp?), Ben & Jerry's, etc.
Of course I don't eat those so much anymore because I can't afford
them these days. I have had to lower my standards and eat Breyers
when it's on sale. But maybe I should try BB - maybe it's better
than Breyers.
