Two Texas-based companies have teamed up to create a delicious new flavor of ice cream. Dr Pepper and Blue Bell Creameries have unveiled their latest creation, the Dr Pepper Float.
The new flavor is a combination of Blue Bell’s vanilla ice cream swirled together with a Dr Pepper sherbert.
“Our Texas heritage is so important to us at Dr Pepper, and we are excited to team up with fellow Texas-born brand, Blue Bell, to create this new delicious treat,” a rep from Dr Pepper Brand Marketing, said. “We can’t wait to provide our fans with another refreshing way to enjoy Dr Pepper.”
The new ice cream will be available in 23 states at stores where Blue Bell ice cream is sold.
“The best ice cream floats are made with Dr Pepper poured over a few scoops of Blue Bell,” said a Blue Bell Vice President.
In a lineup that includes Juan Soto and Aaron Judge and on an afternoon that Gerrit Cole was on the mound, it was new leadoff hitter Ben Rice who would not let his team lose a fifth straight game.
It was Rice — who debuted just two and a half weeks ago — who opened the scoring with a homer, all but ended the game with another and launched himself into Yankees history with a third.
It was Rice, a 25-year-old who came up through the system without much pedigree as a 12th-rounder from Dartmouth and really without a position, who became the first Yankees rookie ever to blast three home runs in one game.
Proof of his rawness could be found in his circuitous trip through the dugout after his final shot of the afternoon, trying to find the right spot for his first curtain call as teammates jostled him.
By the time Rice’s work was done, the Yankees had pounded the Red Sox, 14-4, in front of 45,504 fans in The Bronx.
