The Cleveland-based ice cream shop debuted a RNC menu with four special limited-edition flavors for those in Cleveland for the convention to enjoy. For Donald Trump it crafted the 'You're Fired' sorbet, which is a [passion fruit sorbet with fresh jalapenos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyline-spice-ice-cream). The shop satirically describes this flavor as "a little hard to swallow." The 'Big Tent' flavor is Elephant Tracks and pays tribute to the [Republican Party's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusemints-election-collection) mascot. The 'Gipper' is in honor of Ronald Reagan and is vanilla ice cream with a red raspberry topping and a side of jelly beans. The most comical politically inspired ice cream is Mitchell's 'The Primary,' which featured [16 scoops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/16-handles-summer-menu) topped with a scoop of 'You're Fired' and was crafted in honor of the 17 original Republican primary candidates. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Political](https://www.trendhunter.com/political) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Politically Inspired Ice Creams:** Crafting unique ice cream flavors inspired by political events and figures presents an opportunity for novelty and creativity in the ice cream industry. - **Limited-edition Flavor Menus:** Introducing special limited-edition flavor menus for specific events or occasions allows ice cream shops to generate excitement and attract customers. - **Satirical and Comical Flavors:** Creating satirical and comical ice cream flavors based on political figures and events adds a fun and entertaining element to the ice cream experience. ### Where This Applies - **Ice Cream:** The ice cream industry can embrace politically inspired flavors as a way to differentiate themselves and tap into current events, attracting novelty-seeking customers. - **Event Catering:** Event catering companies can incorporate politically inspired ice cream flavors into their menus, providing a unique and memorable experience for attendees. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Hotels, restaurants, and tourist destinations can collaborate with local ice cream shops to offer politically inspired flavors to visitors, enhancing the overall visitor experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Voter Activation Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churn-out-the-vote.md) - [Protest-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watermelon-ice-cream.md) - [Patriotic Frozen Custard Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freedom-berry-jackhammer.md) - [CPG-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ice-cream-project-anya-hindmarch.md) - [Cosmic Cartoon-Themed Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiverse-collection.md) - [Reality TV-Themed Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-slc-scoop.md) - [Chocolatier-Approved Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcconnells-fine-ice-creams-sees-candies.md) - [Nostalgic Summer Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-fun-times.md) - [Unconventional Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ice-cream-project.md)
