Gee, thanks for the helpful info superjonbot.

Sounds like someone needs to get a life if all they have to offer is crass comments at 2 in the morning to a post which they have nothing useful to add. :roll:

Uh, thanks DR - I'll let u know if I come across any dark alleys.

Don't mean to be crabby, but its a bad time to make sarcastic jokes when someone's fave ice cream flavor is possibly in jeapordy!

Luckily I was able to contact the business owner to find out he still makes the ice cream, but only sells it to businesses as he has yet to embark on a direct-to-consumer business. Apparently the subcontractors who were making the ice cream for them were doing a bad job so they are going to be doing that themselves now, which has postponed their delivery to the small deli's I used to buy the ice cream from.

I got this popcorn at my local deli yesterday and could not stop eating it, and eventually finished the whole bag within a few minutes. Funny that they advertise it after a city in Indiana even though its made in new jersey.

I am glad that you enjoyed our ice cream and soon enough we will have a website up for you to blog and write us but for now if you have any questions you may email me at [email protected]

Again thank you for enjoying and now you may ask anything you need

She having difficulty figuring out why you guys don't have your act together and get us some damn icecream. This is important stuff here!!! There's obviously a demand, just google it and the first page is filled with people looking for this stuff.

Cabaki, try this website. Not sure how much shipping is.

They have a guarantee too:

Frozen Delivery Commitment

If a package is damaged in transit or arrives melted we will reship the package on the next available shipping day.

Ha ha - thanks Ashley and Mamacita. I actually spoke with Richard, the owner of the company and he explained everything to me when i first called several weeks ago.

I will be helping them out with their consumer website initiative as a result of my initial phone call, and my suggestions to them in regards to offering their ice cream directly to consumers, as they only previously sold it to other businesses.

We hope to have something up soon for all you Mr. Green Tea fanatics!

Oh, and i just want to clarify that the Ciao Bello's green tea ice cream has white chocolate bits in it, and is not to be confused with the original Mr. Green Tea ice cream, which Richard's father originally invented many years ago. Mr Green tea tastes much better, and is the original!!!
