Another reviewer said this ice cream flavor might be better than an actual Dr Pepper float. Talk 103.9 Radio tried the ice cream and said, “So let’s get to the taste test. It is indeed amazing. Just to get it out of the way, the vanilla is of course smooth, creamy, and fantastic (Blue Bell rules all things vanilla). The Dr. Pepper swirl though ... holy cow. The Dr Pepper taste is 100% on point. ... It also blew my mind that it’s actually a sherbet that somehow is smooth and creamy. I would also go on record to say that this ice cream is better than an actual Dr Pepper float (give both a try and get back to me).”
