This year, we saw Hostess expand out of the baked goods aisle with the introduction of Deep Fried Twinkies in the frozen food section. Next year, we’ll see more Hostess-branded products in the freezer aisle when Hostess Ice Cream hits shelves.

According to Berry on Dairy, Hostess is partnering with Nestle to offer ice cream pints that feature popular Hostess products. The three varieties are Cupcakes, Sno Balls, and, of course, Twinkies.

Twinkies Ice Cream features sweet buttercream-flavored ice cream, sponge cake pieces, and a vanilla frosting swirl. Cupcakes Ice Cream combines chocolate ice cream, cake pieces, and a cream frosting swirl. Sno Balls Ice Cream has a marshmallow-flavored ice cream, chocolate cake pieces, and a whipped coconut swirl.

Wondering about Nestle’s ice cream history? It owns Häagen-Dazs, Dreyer’s/Edy’s, Skinny Cow, and Drumsticks.

The last time I had Dippin’ Dots was, maybe, a decade ago. The last time I had a gumball was, maybe, a decade ago. I don’t see myself have either within the next decade. (Spotted by Caitlin J at Spencer’s.)

Lipton Tea Ornaments

Lipton Tea Ornaments

“Hey Little Timmy, open one of those ornaments. There’s a surprise in it,” said Ruth. “A surprise! Oh boy!” yelled Little Timmy. Timmy opened the ornament and then asked, “What is it?” “Tea,” Ruth replied. “Yay! Tea!” Little Timmy yelled. And that was the first time Little Timmy used sarcasm. (Spotted by Robbie at H-E-B.)

These appear to be replacing Yoplait Greek 100 Yogurt. If they weren’t, it would be confusing to have Yoplait Greek 100 Yogurt, Yoplait Greek 100 Protein, and Yoplait Greek 100 Whips. (Spotted by Caitlin J at ShopRite and Carla at Walmart.)
