DALLAS — Have you ever had one ice cream flavor you loved, and then one day-- it disappears from the freezer aisle?
For those who have experienced that heartbreak, Blue Bell announced a new tournament to bring back one of 16 of their discontinued flavors.
It's called "The Great Scoop Revival Flavor Tournament", and it puts 16 fan-favorite flavors head-to-head in a bracket, where only one flavor will win out.
