When I found out there was such a thing as Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day, it immediately made me think of one of my favorite poems from childhood: Bleezer’s Ice Cream by Jack Prelutzsky. I found this poem in fifth grade when I was searching for a poem to recite in front of the class. Of course, it was required to have a visual aide. So, I ended up drawing out all these different funky flavors on a poster. (Talk about commitment. I had a lot more patience and energy then….) The poem features a ridiculous combination of some of your favorite (cookie) and least favorite (chop suey) flavors to be put in ice cream.
Besides being a fun, ridiculous, whimsical fantasy poem, it definitely brings back the nostalgia of childhood and ice cream shops! So, it’s only appropriate that on Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day, I do an ode to Ebeneezer Bleezer and his ice cream store. I made a fun little ice cream flavor name quiz so that you can find out what your weird flavor would be AND I have a cute free download of the poem itself.
Discover Your Creative Ice Cream Flavor
To determine the ice cream flavor you will get from Bleezer’s Ice Cream Store, you look for the first letter of your first name, first letter of your last name, and then day of your birthday. The items on this list are pulled from the original poem (with a few extras). For the record, my ice cream flavor is Sukiyaki Pizza Pickle……ew. You think I could’ve given myself a better flavor since I made it up. Lol. Comment below with your ice cream flavor.
