Comments on: Superman Ice Cream: “A Michigan Thing” http://themittenblog.com/2009/07/06/superman-ice-cream-a-michigan-thing/ A digital hayride through the varied cultural landscape of Michigan's lower peninsula Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:55:30 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Susie http://themittenblog.com/2009/07/06/superman-ice-cream-a-michigan-thing/#comment-143 Susie Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:17:45 +0000 http://themittenblog.com/?p=143#comment-143 I grew up visiting Torch Lake in the summers. My cousins and I went into town (Alden Mi) every day to get Superman ice cream at Higgin's convenience store. The brand there is Hudsonville (im not sure it always was) and they changed the name to Super Scoop. i just recently moved to MI and found it in the grocery store. It is vanilla, blue moon, and black cherry flavors. they sell it in ohio, indiana, and michigan. The BEST ice cream ever, although it makes your poop green hahaha I grew up visiting Torch Lake in the summers.

They had many requests and decided to start making it! When I went in to ask for it, the guy asked me if I was from Mich :) Also a native of Mich, my family used to stop on the way up north for blue moon and superman and bubble gum at an ice cream place near bay city. or was it pinconning? probably both. glad to report that you can get a version of blue moon in Seattle at Full Tilt Ice Cream.

Had a question for ya. As you know Valentines is coming up and I was hoping to get Superman Ice Cream for my GF. She's a Detroit native as well. The only problem is we live in LA. I've been trying to track down Superman Ice Cream all over the internet and Southern Cali. Think you can help me out before the 14th? Thanks! :) Great video John! Had a question for ya.

Down the street from my house was a place called Ehrlers (not sure of the spelling) and they had Superman Ice Cream. I am pregnant with my 4th child and craving it like mad. I guess I have to go to Michigan! I grew up in Louisville, KY. Down the street from my house was a place called Ehrlers (not sure of the spelling) and they had Superman Ice Cream.

I used to be the only "adult" ordering Superman Ice cream at the Washtenaw Dairy in Ann Arbor...I would get strange looks but knew I had picked the best flavor around and would not be disappointed. Now I live in Oregon and have been on the west coast almost as long as I lived in Michigan and always hold out hope for Superman or Bluemoon ice cream whenever I am on a road trip and stop at a small local ice cream parlor. Glad to know I can still find it when I get wack to Ypsi. Yum…I just googled the flavor as no one here on the west coast knows what I am talking about.

This is truly a ground breaking story. I have always loved Superman. Also, to know that it hits so close to Michigan culture is truly heart warming and brain freezing. Beautiful.

I'm in search of it because my boyfriend grew up in Michigan and talks about that ice cream all the time. I'm looking to book a trip to Michigan (from Florida) for a weekend and take him to the ice cream store that sells it. It would be a surprise, so I can't ask him for help. Is there any way you could help me locate the store? I don't know anything about Michigan, so I'm not even sure where to start. :) Thanks in advance!
