Remember when ordering \u201cSuperman\u201d ice cream meant that you were:<\/p>\n
1) Between the ages of four and ten years old.
\n2) Going to get a scoop of generic red\/blue\/yellow ice cream that tasted like tooty-fruity vanilla? <\/p>\n
Those days are long over! Since America\u2019s officially comic book crazy right now, you can get your hands on superhero-themed anything — shirts, binders, socks, gummies. Just name it! Up until now, though, there hasn\u2019t been an officially licensed superhero-themed ice cream.<\/p>\n
Rising to duty\u2019s call, Edy\u2019s\/Dreyer\u2019s has partnered with DC Comics to come up with not one, not two, but THREE official DC-inspired ice creams, just in time to save civilians everywhere from the sweltering summer heat!<\/p>\n
Edy\u2019s\/Dreyer\u2019s decided to represent DC Comics\u2019s three most iconic superheroes with their light ice cream offerings: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Aquaman, being the least popular of the Super Friends, wasn\u2019t good enough to make the cut, I suppose. In any case, I decided to try all three flavors.<\/p>\n
![\"Dreyer](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Dreyers-Edys-DC-Comics-Ice-Cream-Krypton-2.jpg?resize=599%2C455&ssl=1\" "\\"Dreyer's-Edy's")
<\/p>\n
After removing the lid from this Superman-inspired ice cream, I realized that this is a far cry from the Superman ice cream that I remember eating as a kid. Instead of using an eye-catching rainbow swirl, Edy\u2019s\/Dreyer\u2019s went in the exact opposite direction by making this quart a single boring shade of vanilla, with a few pale chunks to break up the monotony. <\/p>\n
What\u2019s the deal with everyone being so scared of color? It seems like everything that I\u2019ve bought lately has just had the color bleached out of it. Would putting a little more dye into the mix-ins really cost Edy\u2019s\/Dreyer\u2019s that much more money?<\/p>\n
The taste of this stuff is about as plain as it looks. Unlike its tooty-fruity step-brother, this Superman ice cream is the kind of vanilla that only works well as a canvas for crazy swirls and jam-packed mix-ins. The problem is, this flavor doesn\u2019t have either of those things. The blue sprinkles don\u2019t taste any different from the ice cream\u2019s base, and the red and yellow cookie dough pieces are so sparse that I only found three of them in my entire bowl. <\/p>\n
Rating:<\/strong> 4 out of 10 I gotta say that this Batman-inspired flavor surprised me. Upon first glance, it may not be the prettiest ice cream ever, but it more than makes up for its lack of visual appeal in taste. <\/p>\n Digging in, it\u2019s got that soft, whipped texture that pretty much all light ice creams have, and it actually works pretty well here. It keeps the chocolate from being too dense and heavy, and the overall effect makes the ice cream feel like a sort of frozen chocolate mousse or something. The downside to that is that the ice cream melts pretty fast, but I found myself not really minding too much. <\/p>\n Edy\u2019s\/Dreyer\u2019s decided to get creative with the chunks in this flavor by shaping them into miniature bats. They\u2019re cute, and they give a nice crunch to the base. There still aren\u2019t nearly enough brownie pieces, but the ones that I could find were pretty yummy, and they reminded me of frozen Cosmic Brownies. The fudge swirl is nearly absent, but I found that the brownie chunks and the chocolate bats were enough to keep my taste buds entertained.<\/p>\n Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10 Last up is an ice cream designed for the ladies! <\/p>\n Honestly, this one doesn\u2019t look too different from Krypton Cookie Dough. The base is a little tanner, and the chunks changed color from blue to gold, but that\u2019s about it. Chowing down, it doesn\u2019t really even taste much different from Krypton Cookie Dough, either. The ice cream is almost identical, using the same plain ol\u2019 vanilla to showcase the mix-ins and swirl.<\/p>\n Most of the caramel flavor comes from the chunks. There\u2019s plenty of chunks to go around here, but I don\u2019t think that they\u2019re enough to carry the caramel flavor by themselves. The graham cracker \u201cswirl\u201d is similarly plentiful and tasty, but I don\u2019t know that I\u2019d really call it a swirl. In my opinion, swirls are supposed to be somewhere in-between gooey and semisolid, and these are definitely solid graham cracker pieces. <\/p>\n I\u2019m a sucker for anything with graham crackers, so this was probably my favorite of the three, and I wouldn\u2019t mind buying this flavor again. Next time, I\u2019ll just make sure to buy extra caramel sauce to put on top.<\/p>\n Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10 Overall, I feel that all three DC-inspired ice creams were pretty standard for something that would come from Edy\u2019s\/Dreyer\u2019s light offerings. No single flavor was spectacular, and all of them had points that they could improve on, but the packaging on them is fun, and any of the flavors would make for a cheap and yummy way to cool off on a hot day. Besides, what kid wouldn\u2019t love getting to eat superhero-themed ice cream? <\/p>\n Now, if only Marvel would team up with Breyer\u2019s to make Avenger-inspired flavors! <\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.00 (on sale) Remember when ordering \u201cSuperman\u201d ice cream meant that you were: 1) Between the ages of four and ten years old. 2) Going to get a scoop of generic red\/blue\/yellow ice cream that tasted like tooty-fruity vanilla?
