Serendipity Brands and Warner Bros. Consumer Products teamed up to create four new pop culture ice cream pints inspired by four favorite series and movies: friends, The Goonies, CaddyShack and A Christmas Story.
Fans of Friends, which celebrated a milestone anniversary in 2019, will delight in discovering the flavor of Central Perk Almond Fudge, especially as this variety represents a new permanent fixture. The nostalgic treat naturally takes the form of a coffee ice cream that's accented with thick fudge swirls and almonds enrobed in dark chocolate. The other flavors in the lineup are limited releases. This means that there's only a short time for pop culture lovers to try Gopher Traxs, Sloth & Chunk Rocky Rooooaad and the Oh Fudge! Peppermint Cookie Fudge Sundae.
