"Texas frozen sweets company Blue Bell Creameries’s mint chocolate chip ice cream. The longtime company is broadly appealing and a sweet staple for many Texans, whose grocery shopping carts often include a carton or two with gold-trimmed lids and silhouettes of people walking cows." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Collaborating with Chip and Joanna Gaines, Blue Bell Creameries is launching a Magnolia ice cream collection that will include Wacotown Vanilla, Jo’s Lemon Pie, S’mores at the Silos, Magnolia Press Chocolate Cake, and Chip’s Salted Caramel Truffle, with the collection debuting at the Spring at the Silos festival." - Adele Chapin
"A new 14,000-square-foot distribution center opening in Henderson next spring will serve Clark and Nye counties, putting the creamery’s rich, creamy ice cream into Nevada homes. The company behind the product is headquartered in Brenham, Texas, produces goods at three manufacturing facilities in Texas, Oklahoma, and Alabama, and — after 114 years and a devoted fan base while selling in 22 states — this expansion will make Nevada its 23rd state." - Susan Stapleton
"A Texas ice cream company that was held criminally accountable for a 2015 listeria outbreak and fined $17.25 million in penalties related to that incident." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Blue Bell, where Texas's favorite ice cream comes to life, is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. You can tour the facility, learn about the brand's history going back to 1907, and get an up-close-and-personal look at production from the observation deck. There's also a country store (stock up on half-gallon gift certificates and become the office hero) and an ice cream parlor where you can get any scoop for a song—$1, to be precise." - Diana Oates
