Thrifty Chocolate Malted Crunch
Represented by: Ray Prock, Jr., dairy producer, California
Q. Why did you select your flavor?
Crunchy Malt balls, chocolate chips, all swirled into creamy Chocolate ice cream... need I say more?
Q. Why should readers vote for your flavor?
Who can forget going shopping at Thrifty's with mom while out on summer break only to get ice cream? The warm California summer made Thrifty ice cream a welcome treat, and the cylindrical scoop added to the mystique of it all. Oh the joy when mom said yes to a scoop or three when she was finished shopping. Thrifty Ice Cream is a West Coast institution started when the Borun brothers added ice cream to their Thrifty stores in the 1940s. Little did they know the cult sensation that would follow the delicious treat into the next century.

Blue Moon
Represented by: Karen Lee, Progressive Dairyman Midwest Editor and Progressive Dairyman — Canada Editor, Wisconsin
Q. Why did you select your flavor?
Blue Moon is a rare gem. It is not common like chocolate; nor is it nationwide like Rocky Road. Therefore, when I come across this bright blue, fruity treat available mostly in the Upper Midwest, I grab a scoop or two because I never know when I’ll find it again.
Q. Why should readers vote for your flavor?
Cast your vote for Blue Moon if you relish in rare opportunities. If your favorite color is blue, this one’s for you. If you’re from the Midwest, that helps too!
