"The Best Ice Cream in the Country"

Yep, That's right... Blue Bell, the best ice cream in the country.... That's their little jingle for their commercials.  For any non- Texans, Blue Bell is an ice cream only made in Texas and sold here and only in a few other states in the South.  I grew up on it and so I'm completely bias, but I really think it's the best ice cream.  We took the kids to Brenham where the Blue Bell Ice Cream Factory is and went on the tour and watched how they make their famous ice cream.  I think I enjoyed it the most.  I remember going when I was little, but I think I appreciated it even more now.  Brenham is a cute litttle cow town outside of Houston on your way to College Station and the factory only uses the cream from the local farmers to make the ice cream.  Their slogan is, 'we eat all we can and sell the rest.'  Even on the tour there were windows into their break room and they have big coolers in the back of the break room full of whatever ice cream the employees want.  Hey, that's where I want to work!  


Good thing I have a gym membership now because I've been eating Blue Bell quite a bit... it's so worth it... every minute on the treadmill!
