Blue Bell Drops a Dr Pepper Ice Cream Flavor

Why sip on an ice cream float when you can eat it by the half-gallon?

Blue Bell Creameries is collaborating with Dr Pepper in a new Dr Pepper Float ice cream flavor. The flavor swirls vanilla ice cream together with a Dr Pepper-flavored sherbet, creating the balance of creamy and bubbly sensations that a float is known for.

The ice cream company teased the new flavor on Twitter over the past week, dropping clues like images of empty ice cream float glasses, videos of cracking open cans of soda and other Easter eggs. Followers guessed milkshakes and sweet tea flavors but a few were correct in their assumptions.

One user explained their educated guess by noting that the two brands with Texas roots have been combined in the past.

"Dr Pepper!!!!!! Baylor University has been combining Blue Bell and Dr Pepper and serving floats to students at a weekly Dr Pepper Hour since 1953!" they wrote on Twitter.

According to the school's website, students and faculty gather every Tuesday for one hour of free Dr Pepper floats with Blue Bell vanilla ice cream.
