In Texas, there are brands that more than just known in our great state. They are known all across the nation. It brings us a sense of state pride to know these individual brands are enjoyed by thousands of people every day.

Now, with being so well-known, it also means people sometimes wonder when a new flavor of something they truly enjoy comes out. As they say, variety is the spice of life after all! While some may not be as excited for the new flavors, some can't wait.

And wouldn't you know it, not one, but two Texas brands are revealing new flavors that are sure to please both Texans, and Texans in other states too of course. Those two brands? Blue Bell and Dr. Pepper.

Double Trouble With Dr. Pepper And Blue Bell

First, we'll examine Dr. Pepper's new flavor. The company announced recently that the new flavor, Strawberries and Cream, will be a new permanent flavor. Now to be completely honest, we'll withhold our judgements until we try it, but how will strawberry mesh with the 23 flavors?

The other brand we also know very well, Blue Bell, will release a new flavor centered around...breakfast? Yes, you read that right. An ice cream flavor based on cereal.

Seems like a bit of a contradiction doesn't it? Ice cream and cereal don't mix, but much like the previously mentioned Dr. Pepper flavor, we'll withhold judgement until we try it.

However there's one more thing we must ask...could these two mix in some type of ice cream float and actually taste good? Let us know what you think by sending us a free message using the chat feature on our FREE station app!
