\"Blue<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

The Blue Bell website describes this new Oatmeal Cream Pie flavor in great detail, and since I assume many meetings and memos produced the synopsis, I\u2019m just going to copy it: \u201cA delicious oatmeal flavored ice cream with hints of brown sugar mixed with soft oatmeal cookies and a vanilla icing swirl.\u201d<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

Is this delicious, as the Blue Bell website promised? Well, almost. Let\u2019s start with the \u201coatmeal flavored ice cream.\u201d I\u2019m not even sure oatmeal has a flavor, and that\u2019s why you add cinnamon, sugar, fruit, or if you have the imagination of a 5-year-old like I do, gummy bears to your oatmeal. If I did a blind tasting of this ice cream, I\u2019m not sure I would have pegged it as oatmeal flavored, and even with the power of suggestion, I didn\u2019t really get an oatmeal vibe. The \u201chints of brown sugar\u201d was also a bit of a miss, as it took my complete concentration to just sorta, kinda maybe think I tasted a little bit of brown sugar.<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

Things do improve substantially for the second half of the description. The oatmeal cookies are indeed soft, as well as pleasantly chewy, and generously mixed throughout the ice cream. There are some good-sized chunks in here. The vanilla icing brings a nice sweetness to the mix with a bit of a different texture that I did like. While this flavor as a complete package doesn\u2019t quite live up to its billing, it\u2019s still pretty tasty.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

Doing these reviews has allowed me to compile plenty of knowledge that, while interesting, is totally useless for any other purpose except for filling space in said reviews. Since the Little Debbie brand is synonymous with oatmeal creme (not cream) pies, it got me wondering if Little Debbie is a real person. It turns out she is, and Debbie McKee-Fowler is no longer little and is now the executive vice president of McKee Foods, which owns Little Debbie. If I ever get on Jeopardy! then maybe that knowledge will pay off, but if not, I\u2019ve just cluttered up my brain – and now yours – with information none of us will ever need.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

This flavor to me is like a band that I wouldn\u2019t pay full price to see because I only like some of their songs. If a friend has a free ticket or I see a discounted Groupon deal, then I\u2019ll probably go, but I wouldn\u2019t have the urge to go out and find tickets myself. I\u2019m going to finish this pint and enjoy it, but next time I\u2019m at the store, I\u2019ll probably buy a different flavor.<\/p>\n
