If you’re reading this, you must have heard about our Chicken Wing ice cream (or maybe you’resimplytrying to find who is crazy enough to make such a thing). Well, you’ve come to the right place!
Sorry to disappoint (or not), but this flavor wasactually justan April Fool’s Day prank a few years back. When we posted about this flavor to our Facebook page in 2013, we never anticipated how much attention and interest we wouldget about this flavor, not only then but for many years to come.

The generalresponsefrom our followers when we postedour prankwas a resounding “ew, gross”(with a couple of requests for usto make Beef on Weck flavored ice cream next),but there were a fewpeople with adventurous appetites eager to get their hands on this flavor.
The above comment is a notable mention: Matthew, we love you, Buffalo loves you, butcelery and carrotsprinkles… you took it too far.
Our Chicken Wing ice cream prank certainly got everyone talking though (good, bad and ugly), and some of you are still talking about it today,8 years later. Seriously, type “Perry’s Ice Cream chicken wing” in the search bar on Facebook and this is the results page (these photos are dated anywhere from 2013 to 2020):
Andevery once in a while(ok honestly it happens a lot), we see the prank carton photo floating around on Twitter or popping up in our mentions:
