• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Hi Ben, how are you pretty good? Yeah?
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: This is delicious ice cream, local ice cream local.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's ice cream for breakfast. So I'm sorry
• 0:21
  if that wrecks any of your diets.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: But it's historical ice cream.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: It's historical for sure. So this is something that may
• 0:29
  really excite the older crowd and confuse the younger crowd
• 0:33
  because snell Groves is back. If you've remember the snow
• 0:38
  Groves ice cream name, sure, then you're at least over
• 0:41
  twenty because it hasn't been around since about two thousand
• 0:45
  and eight.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: It's been that long. Oh gosh.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: So yeah, So there's a lot of history. I mean,
• 0:50
  this goes back to nineteen twenty nine when they first started.
• 0:53
  It was started with the mission, right, you know, as
• 0:56
  the Great Depression was happening, to gather people to get happiness,
• 1:00
  you know, to give a sweet treat. And you can
• 1:02
  tell that that's the mission of the family too. I've
• 1:05
  talked to a lot of the snow Groves, and I
• 1:07
  just feel as though that's like the sentiment of the company.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Okay, they really do have a rich history. Says here
• 1:15
  in some notes that you gave us. Served in nineteen
• 1:18
  thirty five, they served a snow Groves ice cream at
• 1:21
  Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Thanksgiving dinner. And then the sign in Sugarhouse,
• 1:28
  the giant Cone, the double Cone. Nineteen sixty two is
• 1:33
  when that was built.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was one of the first three d for
• 1:37
  yes Co. You know, a Utah staple as well. And
• 1:41
  then there's the Ronald Reagan. They shipped a bunch of
• 1:44
  ice cream out to him. He wanted jellybean ice cream,
• 1:46
  and the founder, you know, one of the snow Groves,
• 1:48
  made it and shipped it out.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: So rich history. So they're starting it up again. Who's
• 1:56
  doing this?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So her name's Lindsay, she's a snow Grove. But you know,
• 2:02
  it kind of went away Dryers you bought it in
• 2:04
  the nineties and then they discontinued the brand in two
• 2:07
  thousand and eight. So a lot of us haven't had
• 2:10
  it for years. I mean, we all haven't.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Had it for years.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And she decided these family recipes were just too good
• 2:17
  to not share and she wanted to bring that same happiness,
• 2:21
  that same mission to people, and so she started first
• 2:24
  in Saint George. So around the pandemic time she started
• 2:27
  her first location down there. And it was a shock
• 2:30
  to me. I thought, this amazing, cool brand from the past,
• 2:34
  just little old Saint George, and it really was just
• 2:37
  this bud and it's now flowering, you know. So for
• 2:40
  a couple of years now people have been able to
• 2:42
  go and enjoy that burn Alman fudge, that really classic flavor.
• 2:46
  But the people of Salt Lake, people up here that
• 2:48
  don't get down there, haven't been able to try it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Now, can we get this now?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: So you can. There are a few places you can
• 2:55
  get pints. They've contracted with the store to their pints
• 3:01
  in their Myers Market and then Bowman's Market up in
• 3:04
  Davis County, but a lot of people still don't know
• 3:07
  about it. It's not really highly publicized. But the locations
• 3:11
  that they are announcing now are going to be huge.
• 3:15
  So now in Salt Lake, in Utah Counties, and I
• 3:18
  guess in Davis County as well, there are going to
• 3:20
  be locations where they're scooping. So it's not just a
• 3:22
  pint in the grocery store. They're going to be scooping again.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: We got a texture here. I was very excited to
• 3:29
  find snell Groves malted milk ice cream at the store.
• 3:32
  I love to try.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: That's actually my favorite flavor now, I.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Really like this is it? Is it gingerbread or something?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: That one's the Biscof, So yeah, Biscof is taken over
• 3:43
  the world right now. Yeah, yes, no, it's It's truly amazing.
• 3:49
  And that is the flavor one of their newer flavors.
• 3:52
  Obviously they have their classic Canadian vanilla, their burn almond fudge,
• 3:55
  and a lot of those other flavors, but you know,
• 3:57
  they're obviously working to get those new ones. And then
• 4:00
  you'll notice on your plate as well. I gave you
• 4:03
  a blue a raspberry raspberry. Yeah, and that is a
• 4:06
  bear Lake raspberry.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I was going to ask if it's local. It's very good.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: It's very bold, like, yes, raspberry is very pro well,
• 4:13
  and honestly, that's what people want with the shakes when
• 4:15
  they go up to bear Lake. But a lot of
• 4:17
  times it's just ice cream and the raspberries aren't bold.
• 4:20
  And I love how they bring out that raspberry flavor
• 4:22
  in this ice cream.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Well it's it's delicious stuff.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: And the oh and then there was the one on
• 4:28
  four South.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, then Groves that small, you know.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And the funny thing is is, I've had so many
• 4:35
  people say we need to get a petition to have
• 4:37
  snow Groves take that back. Yes, because they just yeah,
• 4:41
  they just painted the ice cream cones black, which was
• 4:44
  like nice to have at least a remembrance that they
• 4:46
  were still there. But now that snow Groves is back.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Yes, and you know those those those cones used to
• 4:53
  twirl as well.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, And I for.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: One think it's a crime if a business has a
• 4:58
  sign the twirls and and then they just let it
• 5:01
  fall and let it doesn't twirl anything like Zion's Bank
• 5:04
  on fourth South and seventh East. They're sign used to twirrel.
• 5:09
  Doesn't squirrel anymore. Bill makes me angry.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I think Bill is gonna be
• 5:13
  the first one to sign the petition to have that
• 5:15
  building taken over.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I mean that's how real estate works, is petitions. Yes,
• 5:20
  they work for TV shows, sure casting movies.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: You know, I wonder who owns that building? I don't
• 5:27
  know if Jimmy Johns owns it or not.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, if anybody listening knows the owner of that building,
• 5:33
  we're gonna we're gonna make this happen. But locations are
• 5:36
  going up in Lehigh, Sandy, and Centerville, so each county
• 5:42
  gets one. And I'm really glad that they went up
• 5:44
  to Davis County because I get so many messages from
• 5:47
  Davis County people. Salt Lake, Utah County, they always get everything.
• 5:51
  We never get anything.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: But guess what you've got snow growths.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, now you guys got snow growth. But it's gonna
• 5:57
  be amazing. It's gonna be delicious. Honestly, this super premium
• 6:00
  ice cream is something that's really needed in the market.
• 6:03
  I know we have a lot of ice cream, but
• 6:05
  there's a lot of you know, economy and basic stuff
• 6:08
  that we're getting, and we really like that super premium stuff.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: If you're gonna have ice cream, why not get the
• 6:13
  really good stuff, get the local.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: I think Snow Girls had a downtown location to like
• 6:20
  a parlor, ice cream parlor where you could go in.
• 6:23
  I seem to remember going in there with my wife
• 6:26
  and check on split.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my remembrance is always on twenty one hundred and
• 6:32
  seeing that signage and just thinking, is all the ice
• 6:35
  cream made their kind of thing? And then all of
• 6:37
  a sudden it was kind of gone, but they still
• 6:39
  sold it. And so now I think you'll start seeing
• 6:42
  these locations pop up.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I think they'd better double up on their production
• 6:47
  of the malted milk ice cream because people are texting
• 6:50
  in about that. Boy, it sounds wonderful one of their favorites.
• 6:53
  What it's back? Oh my goodness, you know, I mean.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: And I can confirm I had that down in Saint George,
• 6:58
  and yes, one of my favorite flavors. But this is
• 7:00
  Burnalman fudge. I mean I have. That's the one that
• 7:03
  people talk to me all the time. And you know,
• 7:06
  older people in my family are always like reminiscing and
• 7:09
  thinking saying, oh the burn Olmen fudge at this store.
• 7:11
  This store isn't as good as snow Groves. But guess
• 7:13
  what with it back, we can do a one to
• 7:16
  one comparison.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: And now is the is the snow Groves. It's this
• 7:22
  sign in Sugarhouse still there.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: It's still there, It is still there. Yeah, it was
• 7:25
  marked as a historical place.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I haven't been to Sugar House since they started tearing
• 7:30
  it up.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we're going to sign that petition for for South.
• 7:33
  I'm there, bring it all.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Right, The Doughnut Critic. You can find all stuff Ben
• 7:38
  Lee related on Instagram. Just look for the Donut Critic
• 7:41
