Dr. Pepper and Blue Bell team up to create brand-new ice cream flavor
Texas brands Dr Pepper and Blue Bell announced a new float-inspired ice cream
More restaurants are turning to robot servers in response to the national shortage of food industry workers. This goes back to employees leaving the workforce during the pandemic.
Dr. Pepper and Blue Bell have joined forces to introduce a new ice cream flavor to the market.
Blue Bell announced the new product, called Dr Pepper Float, on Twitter Thursday.
"Two iconic brands, Blue Bell® and Dr Pepper®, have teamed up to create one delicious ice cream flavor, Dr Pepper Float - our creamy vanilla ice cream swirled together w/Dr Pepper flavored sherbet", the company said in a tweet.
"Find it in the half gallon and pint sizes beginning today!" the company added.

"The best ice cream floats are made with Dr Pepper poured over a few scoops of Blue Bell," Blue Bell vice president of sales and marketing Jimmy Lawhorn said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.
Blue Bell noted that it could take several days to stock all locations with the new product, but every store that sells Blue Bell ice cream will have the flavor eventually.

"In less than 23 hours [wink emoji] we will introduce our biggest new flavor collaboration ever with one of our favorite brands! Are you ready?" the company said.
