Superman ice cream originated in the Midwest. While the details of its beginning are murky, the most come belief is that Stroh’s Brewery in Detroit, Michigan invented it during the Prohibition as a product to diversify away from booze.
It’s original flavors were reportedly lemon, Red Pop (derived or inspired from Faygo’s Red Pop also produced in Detroit), and blue moon. Today, its flavors vary based on who makes it as you will see below. However, its colors are always yellow, red, and blue, to match the superhero’s famous costume colors.
In addition, to this ice cream having different flavors, it is also often called by a different name from “Superman”. For example, Country Fresh calls it “Super Rainbow”. Nevertheless, the ice cream tends to taste similar from brand to brand.
