Tag Team's multi-platinum single Whoomp! (There It Is) was reworked for a Geico ad, Scoop, There It Is, and now fans can enjoy a special Geico x Tag Team ice cream inspired by the commercial. The American auto insurance company reached out to New York's Mikey Likes It Ice Cream to create a special flavor with a base of vanilla with cookie dough, swirls of peanut butter and chocolate-covered marshmallows.
Those who want to taste a pint of Scoop! There It Is for themselves have the chance to dance for it. Geico is hosting a social media contest and winners will need to film themselves on TikTok or Instagram dancing to the catchy tune. The unlikely #GEICOIceCream promises to create a viral sensation because people will be eager to experience the unforgettable flavor.
