Blue Moon and Superman ice cream

This article says that Blue Moon ice cream tastes a lot like Superman ice cream, yet Superman ice cream is said to generally be a combination of three flavours, one of which is Blue Moon. This should be clarified. Many people can not determine the exact taste of the ice cream but very sweet in taste.Foxi tails (talk) 22:19, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

When was it created?

I am endlessly fascinated by articles like this one on local foods and local cuisines. I must wonder, though--how long have they been making this flavor of ice cream? Who created it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.61.156.96 (talk) 22:10, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

The latest revision is totally false. Blue Moon ice cream was created in Erie in the early 1950's at Dari Creem at 715 Parade St. ,Erie, Pa. The flavor is more of a blueberry than anything else. All other versions of Blue Moon ice cream are imitations of the original. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.1.90.106 (talk) 17:54, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

As stated in the article, multiple sources make claims to being the original. Given that none of the registered a trademark with the USPTO, and third party sources disagree on these statements, it's unlikely anyone can prove one version over the others. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:20, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Blue Moon was invented in 1953 by “John and Lola Klemm” at their family owned and operated Dari Creem ice cream stand in Erie at 715 Parade Street. The family business was passed down, in 1979, to the Klemms' grandson, Jay Sadlier and his wife Sophie, who owned and operated the stand until 2008 when the store was permanently closed due to the owner's health problems. After a national news story about the flavor, copies of it have become available more recently at other ice cream stands in the north east and upper mid-western part of the United States. It is now found even in Michigan; Minnesota; Wisconsin; Indiana; Iowa; Illinois; Ohio; and has reportedly been available (either in the past or currently) in California; Colorado; Missouri; western Pennsylvania; upstate New York; Houston, Texas; Nebraska; Wyoming; Arizona; Seattle, Washington; and as far south as Bradenton, Florida. A possibly similar, possibly identical flavor has also been sold in Italy under the name "Puffo", which is Italian for "Smurf".https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.527253497314981.118534.268770283163305&type=3 Jmwkoff (talk) 11:39, 1 April 2014 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmwkoff (talk • contribs) 11:10, 1 April 2014 (UTC) Jmwkoff (talk) 11:14, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

An excerpt from an Erie Times article titled "Re-enactors remember Erie hero" that mentions Blue Moon ice cream: Hooray to Jay and Sophie Sadlier, for carrying on a 55-year family tradition at the Dari Creem, 715 Parade St. Their ice cream stand, started by Jay Sadlier's grandparents, John and Lola Klemm, is a symbol of simpler times, when mom-and-pop eateries dappled Erie with a special flavor. Naturally, Dari Creem has its own special flavor -- blue moon ice cream. But on Aug. 31, the sun will set on Dari Creem, when the business shutters its awning due to the owners' health problems. "I learned from my grandparents and I learned from my parents. I love what I can do with ice cream," said Jay Sadlier. Before summer slips away, stop by Dari Creem to order a cone or a shake. Tell the Sadliers what a treat it's been to have them satisfy our sweet tooth for so long.http://www.goerie.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008807050330Jmwkoff (talk) 11:31, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

An excerpt from an Erie Times article titled "Just one sweet summer remains" that mentions Blue Moon ice cream: Jay Sadlier keeps his flavor ingredients in glass jars on a back shelf, well out of sight of customers. The shelf looks like an old-fashioned pharmacy, except that instead of medicine, the bottles contain brightly colored syrups meant to be mixed into ice cream. There's banana, black walnut and black raspberry. There's strawberry, cherry and, of course, blue moon.http://www.goerie.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080628/NEWS02/806280340Jmwkoff (talk) 11:39, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Neither facebook nor an opinion/editorial article meet Wikipedia's threshold for being reliable sources - and the existing news story refs mention adverts for Blue Moon that pre-date the claimed invention date on the Facebook page. Many other communities make similar claims with similar sources, none can be proven above others, so no point in listing any in this article. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:33, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

I've been going through newspaper archives, and have been finding mentions of it in the 1930s. The Charleston Gazette, November 1 1936, has the Blossom Dairy announcing a new ice cream called Blue Moon, with a "fruit mixture with a delightful flavor and color." It's much older than 1950. --~ neko-chan :3 (talk) 04:21, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Crema del cielo?

Hi! In Argentina —I don't know if in other Spanish-speaking countries— we have crema del cielo, an ice cream flavor that looks a lot like this Blue Moon. It tastes, indeed, like marshmallow. Can it be the same flavour? --Canopus⁴⁹ - Replies here 03:57, 18 March 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ProgramadorCCCP (talk • contribs)
