I’m from Texas, and never been to Michigan (or anywhere near) and I remember getting super man ice cream when I was younger. I can’t remember where (too young), but I do remember being enticed by the three colours and name of a super hero.
However, no one else can remember it. (I’ve moved to a town about four hours south of where I wad a young girl). I tried explaining it, but just couldn’t. I guess it was a Dallas thing (as well as Michigan.)

I love this blog, I was researching Mooney’s Bubblegum ice cream. I am willing to pay to have it shipped (like I do with seafoam candy) all the way to Texas. Anybody have any info?

Hey there. Found your blog while google searching for Superman Ice Cream. I have a weird question for you. I live in Oregon and have a friend from Muskegon who loves Superman Ice Cream and of course we can’t get it here. I want to do something nice for her birthday, so I’m wondering if anyone knows of a place online that I can buy some sort of mix to make Superman Ice Cream at home. I know it is probably difficult with the three different flavors that you can’t describe, but it’s worth a shot. I tried calling Stroh’s Ice Cream Parlour in Bloomfield Hills but they didn’t know. If anyone has any idea if there is a way for me to do this, please let me know.

Hello,

I think Superman ice cream debuted about the same time as the original Superman movie came out. I remember first having it in Mackinaw City around 1976. I remember that because it was the Bicentennial — here you can Had a derivative of Superman ice cream called Uncle Sam which was red white and blue. Also want to use worked at an ice cream shop in northern lower Michigan in 1976 and 1977and my brother and I used to order milkshakes made with the Superman ice cream, back then.

When I was a kid I would eat Superman ice cream with my cousin at my grandparents house in Garden City. We would mix it up and it would turn into an very unappetizing shade of gray. At this point would would pretend it was the horrible dish from Ernest Goes to Camp, eggs eronious.

Love the ice cream! I am from Michigan…live currently in Arizona. I found it a supermarket one day and totally got the huge plastic tub. I keep asking people if they have ever had it. Sadly, they haven’t had the pleasure, but I’m promoting it! Go Green!

I found this site in a desperate search for rainbow flavored stroh’s icecream, which I believe was the original name of this concoction. I would love to know if its that simple that the superman is the predecessor. I would give my right leg for a taste of that rainbow icecream!!!

I live in Michigan, and you and everyone else are right. It really is a Michigan thing. My fiance used to live in Michigan and now lives in Virginia, and he is crazy about superman Ice Cream. Hes searched in every ice cream shop there, and asked people there if they’ve ever heard of the ice cream and its astonishing that no one has ever heard of it. So every time he comes to visit me, he has to have Superman Ice Cream.

Cassandra, I hope this is not too late.It has been almost a year since your post about superman ice cream. My son has been in love with superman ice cream since birth. He is now 21, and it’s the only flavor he will eat. I would love to know the recipe, as i have recently acquired a ice cream maker. I can’t think of a better gift to give him. If I am not too late, could you please send me the recipe? Thanks in advance, Pam
