'Stranger Things' ice cream is coming to Baskin-Robbins in June

#StrangersThings #IceCream

#Baskin-Robbins is launching several “Stranger Things”-inspired ice cream flavors and sweet treats in June.

Season 3 of the Netflix show will be released on July 4.

The two new flavors the Canton, Massachusetts-based chain is unveiling are Eleven’s Heaven, waffle cone-flavored ice cream with chocolate-coated sugar cone pieces and a chocolate-icing-flavored ribbon, and Upside Down Pralines, chocolate ice cream with praline pecans and a chocolate-caramel flavored ribbon.

For those unfamiliar, Eleven is the name of one of the key characters on "Stranger Things," and the Upside Down is an alternate dimension.

Baskin-Robbins and Netflix are also partnering to create a Scoops Ahoy ice-cream truck, a reference to the ice cream parlor that's on the show. It will serve fans on the West Coast in June.

Baskin-Robbins' other "Stranger Things" tie-ins include:

Upside Down Sundae — a sundae made with Upside Down Pralines, but built upside down with the toppings on the bottom

Demogorgon Sundae — a waffle bowl sundae that looks like a Demogorgon monster

Byers’ House Lights Polar Pizza Ice Cream Treat — a chocolate chip Polar Pizza crust with Snickers ice cream, topped with strings of fudge and M&Ms Christmas lights, a reference to the lights hung up in the Byers' home on the show

Elevenade Freeze — a drink made with vanilla ice cream and Minute Maid lemonade

"When Netflix originally approached us about a partnership, we immediately recognized a number of fantastic synergies between Baskin-Robbins and 'Stranger Things,' including the fact that Steve Harrington was going to have a summer job at an ice cream shop," Dave Nagel, senior director of consumer engagement at Baskin-Robbins, said, referring one of the show protagonists.

The ice-cream chain also will sell exclusive "Stranger Things" merchandise, like a Steve Funko figure, 1980s-inspired magnets and sticker sets and Stranger Things t-shirts. And fresh-packed ice cream will be sold in four limited-edition take-home containers with show-related designs.

The company said it's teamed with TV shows in the past, including "Seinfeld," "The Price is Right" and "The Steve Allen Show."

Baskin-Robbins isn't the only brand to join forces with the popular Netflix series. Last week, Coca-Cola announced that it was bringing New Coke back as a tie-in with “Stranger Things" and earlier this month, Lego unveiled an Upside Down-inspired Lego set.

Celebremos el Mes de la Herencia Latina -Celebrate Latino Heritage Month

#Latina,#HispanicHeritageMonth,#Latino,#Latinx,#Latino Every year between September 15 and October 15 , Americans across the United States celebrate National Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month in honor of the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central, and/or South America. Originally designated as “Hispanic Heritage Week” by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968, the 30-day period that is celebrated today was signed into U.S. law as a joint resolution by President Ronald Reagan and Congress in 1988. So why does the celebration kick off in the middle of September? Well, September 15 was selected as the first day in symbolic recognition of the Independence Days for the Latin American countries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, as well as Mexico (September 16) and Chile (September 18). Over the next month, many public schools throu...
