Snoop Dogg’s Strawberry Cream Dream Ice Cream Flavor Is Here, and It’s Legit

Have a pint...or three...

Hey, remember when NFTs were a thing? Two or three years ago, brands like Pringles, Starbucks, and Taco Bell were leaning into the concept, and it seemed like every celeb you knew had changed their avatar to a photo…er, sorry, a non-fungible token…of the cartoon ape they’d just spent six-figures to buy. That particular bubble seems to have burst already, which means that we no longer have to pretend to be interested in Bored Ape Yacht Club illustrations or the Ethereum blockchain.

The one exception is Snoop Dogg, who immortalized his NFT avatar — a Bored Ape drawing named Dr. Bombay — with an MTV Video Music Awards performance with Eminem, a Dr. Bombay-themed collab with Skechers shoes, and in his own line of Dr. Bombay ice creams.

Mr. Dogg’s ice cream brand launched last summer under parent company Bosslady Foods, and its initial run included seven different flavors: Bonus Track Brownie, Cocoa Cream Cookie Dream, Iced Out Orange Cream, Rollin’ in the Dough, S’more Vibes, Syrupy Waffle Sundaze, and Tropical Sherbet Swizzle. An eighth ice cream, Birthday Party, was soon added to the lineup too.

“Ice cream is more than just a snack to me; it's a way to chill, relax, and get happy,” Snoop Dogg said at the time. “Fans will also notice that my sidekick, Dr. Bombay is the name, face, and persona of this brand. That's because he's like a son to me and you always want your kids to be more successful than you are.”

Dr. Bombay Ice Cream is still going strong, and it just dropped its first new flavor of 2024. The newest arrival is Strawberry Cream Dream, a combination of strawberry sherbet, vanilla ice cream, strawberry jam swirls, and pieces of golden sandwich cookies. Strawberry Cream Dream is also “presented by” Death Row Records, the Dr. Dre co-founded label that released Snoop’s classic “Doggystyle” and “The Doggfather” records.

According to the company, Strawberry Cream Dream is the first of three new flavors that will drop this calendar year. As of this writing, Dr. Bombay Ice Cream can be found at supermarkets and retailers Albertsons, Kroger, Publix, Ralphs Market, Safeway, and Walmart, among others. It is also available for delivery through Gopuff. (You can find the closest Dr. Bombay retailer — and a list of the flavors it stocks — on the Dr. Bombay website.)

Regardless of where you pick up your first (or next) pint of Dr. Bombay, we’re guessing that nobody’s going to ask you to explain cartoon apes or NFTs in the checkout line. Thank goodness.
