Terre Hautians Beware!

I popped into Baesler's this afternoon to pick up a couple of things and almost missed the sample table as I went in (because it was swarming with octogenarians)--where they were handing out BLUE BELL ICE CREAM!

If you know what Blue Bell Ice Cream is, you probably already stopped reading this and are on the way to Baesler's right now. I don't know what flavors they have or anything. I just know they were handing out samples.

If you don't know what Blue Bell Ice Cream is, then I hesitate to tell you. Honestly, you are just better off living in ignorance and enjoying your Edy's or whatever it is you buy and can probably find anywhere you go in the USA. Blue Bell was originally a Texas creamery and they have very limited distribution because they have very strong feeling about freshness, ingredients and how far they are willing to ship their delicious, creamy, amazing ice cream in so many wonderful flavors. It is only available in 19 (mostly Southern) states and you can't get it at every grocery store there. I had heard there were some stores in Southern Indiana that were stocking it, but now it has come to Terre Haute.

And I warn you, Hautian, stay away. What if Bob stops selling it? What will do then? What if you move somewhere it isn't available? You'll just pine for the Homemade Vanilla or any of the other wonderful flavors and seriously consider ordering it in the mail, which is not cheap--$119 for four half-gallons.

No, you just shouldn't have any. You should just keep enjoying what you're enjoying, living in ignorance. It's better that way.
