Funny you should mention Blue Bunny, the ice cream that wanted to be named "Blue Belly Ice Cream" so that they could try and capitalize even more on the confusion of name and use of animals. I would almost bet you weren't aware of that, since I just made the "belly " part of the story up.
Even the name Blue Bunny does cause confusion in markets where Blue Bell isn't sold because Blue Bell is well known brand, It did suffer some damage to the reputation not that long ago when they had an issue with listeria that happened more than once.
With all the names available in the world, it is safe to say Blue Bunny is trying to ride on the name strength of Blue Bell.
It is a good thing the people who own Buc --Ee's don't own Blue Bell or this would be a big court battle too, and if the suit were filed in Texas we are pretty sure that we know the how that outcome would be since everyone knows and loves Blue Bell in Texas.
Did not know that about Spokane and the WF, I love learning little tid bits of information like that, thanks.
The Fireman's park never held the WF but the county fairs in Texas are a pretty big deal so the Washington County fair probably rivals the WF in attendance and at a lot less ticket price.
Hot pie with ice cream is the ticket for a great after meal treat, you won't get an argument from me on that, even mediocre pie can be transformed with one scoop into pie that tastes like a slice of heaven.
The old merry go rounds are harder and harder to come by and they aren't even making that many new ones anymore from what I see, not of the permanent type.
