With summer bearing down on the Lone Star State, Texans are in a weird spot when it comes to ice cream.
Ben & Jerry's, a Vermont-based corporation, is hoping to seize on the Texas heat and its ice cream-loving residents with a four city tour that will give out free tastes of two new "Texas-churned" flavors Bar-B-Que Peach and Bourbon Pecan Pie.
The "Texas Truck Tour" will hit Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio from May 9 to August 14 and ask residents to "tweet the truck, taste the flavors" and pick their favorite flavor, which will end up in pints on grocery store shelves by the end of the year, according to a news release.
The tour will be in San Antonio from July 23 to August 14. San Antonians can tweet @BenJerrysTexas to invite the truck to their community, workplace or event. The truck will provide free samples of both flavors and ask tasters to vote on their favorite flavors.

(111,893 posts)it is something to consider the next time we make a selection at the freezer. I think that B&J is also a better quality ice cream than Blue Bell.
