Who exactly are those people on the Blue Bell ice cream boxes?
If you are a fan of Blue Bell Ice Cream, you have no doubt found yourself wondering just who the people on their snack boxes are. The grinning construction worker, the girl-child in her mother’s makeup, the farmer that looks like John Denver, the Problem Child greedily holding four Pop’N Fudge bars, and the way-too-cheerful mail lady have all greeted us as we open those glass doors in the grocery store’s ice cream aisle.
For someone eating an ice cream sandwich, that postal worker’s teeth were much too clean. Same goes for the construction worker with his Krunch Bar, who has a Jim Croce/Joel Osteen thing going on. Why was that Olivia Munn-looking brunette wearing heavy-duty rain gear holding the Mini Rainbows?
Jim Hayhurst is retiring from Blue Bell after spending the past two decades as the advertising manager from the ice cream company out in Brenham, which means he’s one of the last people who know a lick of anything about these characters.
“Some of those cartons have now been around for over 20 years,” he says. “Twenty years ago we weren’t even sold in all of Texas.”

[font color=green]As the residing DUer where the creamery is located, I will point out that almost every face on the boxes in the slide show indicates that Blue Bell believes that only white people eat frozen confections (the one black girl had an extremely light complexion). That may also explain why nearly all of Blue Bell's political donations go the Republican Party.
FWIW, if you never see another post from me it means that the sheriff's posse sent me packing from town (or worse).[/font]

I can't say for sure these days as I don't eat dairy-based ice creams any more (So Delicious is so much better!) but when I did, Breyer's simply tasted better in every way
