Hi Blue Bell! We love your ice cream! We all think Cookies and Cream is the best ice cream on the planet! Last week we had an ice cream party and we had the flavor the Great Divide. It’s a good flavor for parties because we can add a lot of unique toppings to it. But, we began to talk about the name and we think some people might misunderstand the name and think the name the Great Divide is about people and the division that exists in our world because of different skin colors.

Isak and Kaleb have lighter skin and Jayden has darker skin. But Isak and Kaleb also have a brother and sister adopted from foster care who have dark skin as well. We are all our own color and own flavor and there is no divide between us. We think we are all delicious in our own ways. So, we have a suggestion for a new name for your chocolate and vanilla ice cream flavor:

BETTER TOGETHER!!

Thank you for taking the time to listen to our ideas. We love your ice cream. We think having a big bucket of Better Together chocolate and vanilla on dinner tables across the country will make our families and communities stronger than ever!

Still doesn’t make up for the fact that it is mediocre ice cream that literally killed people due to shoddy sanitation practices.

I never understood how people look at things like the name of an ice-cream flavor and automatically think "Yeah, this is about race."

Unfortunately, lots of fast food restaurants and sit downs have had issues that killed people as well.

Just look at how many people were sick and were scared to eat a salad just a month ago.

I like their ice cream, but I didn't eat it as soon as it was back on the market.

If they would change this, it would just be another company giving in to a society that is looking waaay deeper into something than it needed to. It`s just freakin ICE CREAM!! It doesn't care what color you are when you eat it.

I'd rather they name it "I'm better with your tax money" ice cream.
