Will the REAL Superman please stand up?
No, not that Superman.
I'm talking Superman ice cream.
Well, it used to be called Superman.
But the silk-suited lawyers from Marvel Comics put the screws to the small ice cream dairy and made them change the name to "SuperScoop".
Yet, in every scoop shop I have been, it's still called "Superman".
OK, I admit it, I like Superman ice cream.
No, I like Hudsonville Superman Ice Cream.
Maybe I need to join SA - "Superman Anonymous"
Hi, my name is Schmoe, and I have a Superman Addiction

And I know the difference when some seedy scoop shop tries to slide an inferior Superman-like product on me.
It happened a few years ago at a scoop shop in Grand Haven.
I have not been back since and they won't get dime one from me, again.
It happened again this past Memorial Day.
The waffle cone double dip had just hit my hand, I took a lick and thought, "Mmmm, it's a little off".
When I looked in the ice cream freezer case at the 3 gallon container, my taste buds had not let me down again.
It did not say 'Hudsonville".
I was duped with a scoop again.
It JUST was not creamy like my regular Hudsonville.
I let it slide.
Not one to cause a scene.
I did the next best thing.
I turned them in to the Hudsonville Ice Cream cops at the corporate office.
If your advertising Hudsonville with the old-style red sign, you'd better be dipping only Hudsonville.
I have driven in, and out of scoop shops when they do not serve Hudsonviile ice cream.
Scoop shops have been put on alert.
Schmoe is on Patrol.
Another thing I have learned with Superman ice cream, it's best in a cone.
Not in a bowl.
Cause when it melts, not so good.
Best hand-dipped on a waffle cone and enjoyed to the fullest extent.
You don't mess with a man's ice cream.
Having just turned 40, maybe I'm just edgy.

Seriously, need to get over it!!
Schmoe its all good dude, I love the stuff! It is one of the only flavors I love that doesnt have chocolate in it. Its like...Bluemoon with a twist. By the way, love the page!
Thank you for saying what millions of us are thinking, you are a courageous man! I don't have the privilege of Hudsonville in my neck of the woods and so I resort to other brands. If you are going to call it Superman and color it as such, why on earth is it vanilla flavored??!! I can't even find it in half gallon size...only the massive bucket with a handle. It takes a confident person to approach the check out lane with a 5 lb. tub of heaven underneath your cart. Stand tall and be proud...for you are Schmoe, Superman-lover! (ice cream that is)
