Blue Moon

Further Info: This article is about Blue Moon ice cream and not the Belgian-style witbier brewed by MillerCoors. For information on the beer, see here.

Blue Moon is a famous, yet mysterious flavor of ice cream. Over the decades since it's release, several companies, writers, and food bloggers have tried to explain both the taste and the ingredients to this perplexing product.

However, all of them are dumb and stupid. Blue Moon is a food that will never be fully understood.

Appearance

Blue Moon looks a lot like frozen Smurf sperm.

Flavor

The United States of America

Raspberry flavoring, lemon oil, and vanilla provide the base of flavor. Blue gel food coloring gives the ice cream its signature vivid blue color.

Or so it is said...

Other eaters of this icy confection note hints of:

• cotton candy
• fruits besides raspberry or lemon such as blueberries, strawberries,
• marshmallows
• almonds or almond extract
• LOVE - the only serious description.

Other Places Not As Cool

A bunch jealous dipshits talking about something they don't know about. Mostly because they are the authority on all things American due to the fact that they saw it on a television show, or read about it on the internet. HUR DUR fatty American scum with their fatty ice creams and McDonald's!!! Look, fucko, i don't see you starving either and if you take a look, half of your country are a pack of fatasses too.

• Italy

Someone very smart decided that adding some blue food colouring ^{[ A misspelling because europoors don't know how to spell the word "coloring." ]} to a basic vanilla ice cream, would make for a great marketing idea and that’s how this ice cream was born.

But that isn't the truth, fucko. Stick to making pasta.

• Germany

This is how retarded Germay is:

• France

First off, you must read this French idiot. And then go on to read the comments on this link saying that Blue Moon tastes like bananas. wtf?

The rest of the world is pretty much the same...

Descriptions of Blue Moon stolen from the other wiki:

• A similar flavor has been sold in both Italy and Malta under the name "puffo", which is Italian for "Smurf", as well as in Germany under the names "Schlumpf" and "Engelblau", which translate to "Smurf" and "angel blue", respectively

• In France, it is called "schtroumpf" ("Smurf"), in Slovenia under the name "modro nebo" ("blue sky"), and in Argentina as "crema del cielo" ("sky cream").

• In Poland, this variety of ice cream is called "smerfowe" ("Smurf-like") and is usually bubble-gum flavored.

Alternate Flavoring

Total garbage

Some people have taken to adding other items to Blue Moon which is a huge mistake as Blue Moon needs no supplementary "help" from other garbage ice creams.

The following shitty flavors have been sold at various grocery stores and ice cream parlors:

• Superman ice cream is a "floor-sweepin's" flavor of ice cream where the producer jams a bunch of shit into an ice cream carton because he can't figure out what to do with the dregs. Even worse, some ice cream producers make Blue Moon and market it solely as "Superman" flavor.

• Bubble Gum Blue Moon is a travesty and will not be discussed further.

• Blue Moon cookie dough - because you need a double helping of diabetes.

History

If you hang around on the internet a bit and actually search for the history of Blue Moon, you will begin to see a pattern of lies. Some say that Blue Moon was invented in Milwaukee in the 1950's, but who trusts anybody from Wisconsin?

There is a story about the conception of the idea about the blue moon flavour. Bill Sidon is the one who did invent the secret formula. He afterwards became the chief flavour chemist in the 1950s at Milwaukee Petran Products. The original blue moon recipe is patented under the name of Petran.

Quotes

Ask six different people what the flavor of Blue Moon ice cream is and you’ll get six different answers, at least.

By the way, it is pretty tough to get this flavour in India, but you can always try asking Google Baba! You might find buckets on e-commerce & grocery sites.
