I am sure that everyone here has had one of the ice cream bars from the WWF days. And we would all probably agree that they were great... The other day, I was thinking about how CM Punk would talk about them and everyone thought the WWE would bring the bars back. I remember that CM Punk even had a shirt with the ice cream bar on it. My question is why did they never bring them back? And I really question it now because of how far the WWE has gone to promote NEW Day centric foods. The Booty-Os were released with eases and were a big success, and now they are talking about "New Day Pops." Why do you think the WWE never went ahead with re-releasing the ice cream bars?

IIRC, I believe the blame fell more on Good Humor (the original maker & distributor of the ice cream bars) than on WWE. Good Humor responded to the crazy high demand by simply stating that the bars would remain discontinued due to multiple business factors or something like that.

You would think they would try a different ice cream company or try to work out a deal with Good Humor. All I know is that, I'd run down the  ing ice-cream man if they still had those things. Good lord were they good. |

i remember eating a bunch of these as a kid....i dont remember them being all that good though. i kept buying them only because they had wwf superstars on them.
i also remember eating this sour blue raspberry chewing gum that included a wwf mini picture similiar to a bazooka joke. dont remember the brand, but it was around the same time the ice cream bars were available.

I think Bruce Prichard covered this on one of his podcasts.
The distributor that they were working with on some dairy farm Wisconsin (Good Humor) was very expensive to get around the US. They weren't widely distributed and only hit a few markets. They lost money on it and at best would break even.
I'm not sure why they just can't go with a different company this time around because those things were amazing.

Ah they were so good. I remember my very first bar had Roddy Piper on it. I still have a few of the trading cards that were on the package. I still even have on of the boxes they came in too. lol

The cynic in me says that it mostly didn't happen, because the idea came from Punk.

At the time CM Punk did the promo, they had only been discontinued by the distributor a year or two prior, which was probably too soon to bring them back. Punk with his long hair was one of the last characters they did. WWE has a lot more options now in terms of sponsors, corporate partners etc than they did five or six years ago, so it's easier now to get new products off the ground.

It's surprising wwe hasn't bought them back. They do chocolate bars and things like that. I remember buying the wwf bars as a kid. Would be really nostalgic to see them again

Wow! I completely forgot about that gum. I used to get those all the time as well, trying to complete that sticker collection! www.imgrum.org/media/1172658041870469558_2025953185 |
