We tried Blue Bell's new Dr. Pepper Float ice cream. Here's what we thought.

Last week, Blue Bell Ice Cream announced a Texas-sized collaboration with local favorite Dr Pepper, promising “another refreshing way" to enjoy the soda. Given the likely appeal for sweet-toothed San Antonians, we tried the Brenham-based creamery's new limited-edition Dr Pepper Float flavored ice cream to see what the fuss is all about. Blue Bell describes the new flavor as “creamy vanilla ice cream swirled together with a Dr Pepper flavored sherbet.” The creamy vanilla description is absolutely correct, but we couldn’t tell you whether the sugary cola notes were Dr Pepper if we didn’t already know that was the goal.
