Blue Bell Brings Back Mardi Gras King-Cake Ice Cream...Sort Of

It is only available in three southern states -- and Texas ain't one.

Blue Bell Brings Back Mardi Gras King-Cake Ice Cream...Sort Of
Daneshe Tabiat

Blue Bell has answered a lot of their fans' requests and brought back the famous Mardi Gras King Cake flavor...Well, sort of.

The flavor has found its way onto shelves this week, but there's a catch -- the flavor is only going to be available in three southern states, and Blue Bell's home-state, Texas, is not one of them (with the exception of a few locations in the Galveston area).

The fan favorite is a cinnamon-flavored ice cream with pastry pieces, candy sprinkles, and a yummy, cream-cheese icing swirl.

It's no surprise fans patiently await this seasonal flavor each year, and many of them are losing their minds trying to get their hands on a gallon of the delicious treat.

Texans across the state, and other southern Blue Bell fanatics, are practically begging to get their hands on some.

Many took to Twitter, demanding to know where they could find this Mardi Gras King-Cake-inspired ice cream that only a few have been able to find.

Some were tweeting Blue Bell asking if they could place an order for the ice cream, and some were already demanding that they expand the supply and locations serving the ice cream next time.

According to a tweet from Blue Bell, they were surprised at how many people were going to want the flavor to return and promised their followers to release the flavor to more locations next year.

The flavor is now, and only, available in the state of Louisiana, home of Mardi Gras, and in some areas of Alabama (Mobile area) and Mississippi. It is also expected to only be sold during the Month of February, or until their limited stock runs out.

The rare Texas locations that will be serving the flavor this year are Alvin, Brenham (home of Blue Bell), Beaumont, Clear Lake, Friendswood, Galveston, LaMarque, Pearland, and Texas City.

The flavor isn't one that can be ordered or requested, so if you see one on the shelf, grab it while you can -- you may never get the chance again.

Happy hunting!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
