Vintage ice cream flavors: Sweet old-fashioned treats

Here are some of the coolest vintage ice cream flavors (and a few sherbets) introduced during the 1950s. Many of these flavors are long gone, and it was clear that fruit — especially cherry and pineapple — were especially popular.

1. Cherry-Coconut ice cream (Borden’s – 1951)

It’s the creamiest of ice creams… and just filled with juicy red cherries and snow-white coconut aplenty. Wait till you taste it!

2. Burgundy Cherry vintage ice cream flavor (Borden’s – 1951)

Invite delight tonight! Serve this beautiful-looking, luscious-tasting dessert. Big, juicy Burgundy cherries peeking out of smoother-than-smooth Lady Borden ice cream.

3. Strawberry ice cream (Meadow Gold – 1951)
