American Idol fans -- or ice cream fans, for that matter -- may want to take note of the new flavors available from Dreyer's that tie in to the popular realty show. Dreyer's/Edy's is the newest partner for American Idol, joining one of the most lucrative media franchises in history, and has five new Idol-themed flavors for fans to choose from. Each is presented on the Dreyer's website with a profile listing its "hometown," "slogan," and other information in the style of the stat given for a real contestant. Tasters can sample the flavors, which will be released to stores on or around Feb. 1, and then vote for their favorite flavor online. Voters will then have a chance to win tickets to the American Idol season finale.
If you're not interested in the show, at least you'll still get to enjoy some new Slow-Churned flavors as long as you can get past the Idol propaganda on the containers: Take The Cake (yellow cake flavor with blue frosting and sprinkles), Choc 'N Roll Caramel (caramel swirls and mini caramel chocolate cups), Hollywood Cheesecake (cheesecake ice cream with graham and strawberry swirls), Soulful Sundae Cone (vanilla, chocolate ice creams with chocolate peanuts and ice cream cone bits) and Triple Talent (triple chocolate).

Well,
I do not think that this is so bad but its not like it's very good. I mean it could be good like hey, have you tried the brand new american idol ice cream? Would you want to say no? I know I wouldn't! But it could also go the other way, like hey, have you tried the brand new american idol ice cream? And if the person would say no, thats stupid the person who asked would be like whatever!

I just bought American Idol ice cream as a pick me up for my daughter who loves the show and has strep throat. I bought Take the Cake. It's yellow cake flavored ice cream. Gotta admit, it was pretty good!

I don't care what name is on the label this ice cream taste incredible especially Taste The Cake. It's also low calorie. Isn't T.V. a marketplace to make money? Why not use The Idol name this way.

That's stupid. Ice cream is ice cream. If it tastes good it tastes good. Why should we care if there's a stupid label that says, "American Idol?"
