    I used to like Shiner but it gives me the worst farts in life.

    The thing that bothered me the most about BB is their proce. Even with listeria that bull**** ice cream was 6.99. I was willing to die but you didn't care to give a discount

    Agreed. They were $5.99 at a nearby Kroger. I'll wait until Thanksgiving or until there is a 2/$5.00 or 2/$6.00 special.

    There is no price too great for freedom.

    The bacteria flavor is usually much cheaper gaiz.

    I would think that a scientician of your caliper would...would...I believe the verbiage is "drop more knowledge"

    I've tried BB a few times just because of people raving here in the past. I just don't get it, and I really wanted to. Marginally different IMHO.

    I think each brand might have a few standout flavors, but I can't say one brand is overwhelmingly better than the rest.

    For leveraging and exploiting Texas nationalism, yes, I agree with those.

    Somewhat. I have a Texan allegiance to Dr. Pepper. But, I wouldn't take a blow to Dr. Pepper as an affront to Texas the way people have with Blue Bell. I think they're perhaps too big.

    Love Shipley's. I associate it more with Houston than with Texas though. Maybe that still counts. But, would people in Brenham engage in a social media campaign to save Shipley's? Probably not.

    More of an embarrassment to the state than anything.

    I'd pay $5.99, but $6.99 is a little steep, considering.

    Shiner is the closest thing to Blue Bell, IMO.

    I like Klondike Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches and Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream.

    Anyone have their supermarkets sell out of BB on 8/31?

    I don't get the fascination. Pre-listeria BB was always fully stocked at the market - almost like everyone bought non-BB ice cream. All of a sudden, it comes back and every flavor is sold out? :/

    Blue Bell be like "we kill you fools with Listeria".

    People be like "we line up for your product like fools after you tried to kill us".

    I've lived in Texas for 30+ years.

    Blue Bell ice cream is horrible.
