Comments about ‘Snelgrove ice cream brand to melt away’

I typically shop Smith's/Kroger and had not been able to find Snelgrove's for some time. They had a Canadian Chocolate that I was especailly fond of but I believe Smith's stopped carrying Snelgrove's about last summer or fall. With all the changes, I had assumed that the brand was already out of production. I guess I should have looked harder.

I used to live in the Covey on South Temple and used to get cones at the store on S. Temple and 2nd 2 or 3 times a week.

"Research and development workers at Dreyer's will consider whether to continue with the top Snelgrove flavors under the Dreyer's label, he said."

PLEASE, PLEASE, DO THIS! There are a couple of Snelgrove flavors that are VERY good that need to be kept!

Wow! An institution is passing. I have a lot of fond memories of the Snelgroves on 21st South. I hope Dreyer's keeps at least a few of the more popular Snelgrove flavors around.

And if you think Dreyers is good, you should try Breyer's. It's even better.

I have great memories of Dad taking us kids to Snelgroves on South Temple and getting cones. Often when we're visiting family in SLC, we've purchased Snelgrove ice cream. I sorry to see it disappear.

First Postum, now Snelgrove... sigh! :-)

What--No Burnt Almond Fudge??? Snelgrove was a big part of growing up in SLC--Used to love to get shakes and sundaes at the 21st location all the time.

How sad that Snelgrove's Burnt Almond Fudge will no longer be available. It's the best out there.

My husband and I who are now serving a mission will really miss Snelgroves Ice Cream when we return. We loved their Canadian Vanilla and some of their other special flavors. I guess their sales dropped off because we left. :)

I used to work at the Snelgroves on South Temple in 89-90. I will miss them terribly. I have been frustrated for years because I could not find two of my favorites, Caramel Cashew and German Chocolate Cake. Good times for all, and a great date spot. Too bad.

boycott dryers!

Good! This stuff made me fat. I'm gonna start eating fruit instead.

Bart, to each his own. I grew up outside Philly, and Breyer's was the best around. My father-in-law was an ice cream junkie - they always had a freezer full of it. My wife prefers Edy's (the east coast name on Dreyer's), and I tend to agree. There are a few flavors I like better from Breyer's, but in general, Edy's is better (to us).

I enjoyed both brands while living in Utah, but here in Texas, Blue Bell ice cream surpasses anything I've ever tasted before. It's really unbelievable that it's not sold nationwide. People who have never tasted Blue Bell ice cream simply don't know what they're missing out on.

I now live in Virginia, but each time I visit Utah, I make sure to get Snelgrove's Canadian Chocolate and Bear Lake Raspberry.

I'm sad to see it go.

I haven't been in the Snelgrove's Ice Cream Parlor for many many years, but I can vividly remember what it smelled like inside.

Sell Snelgroves to a local "get up and go" guy and watch it soar in the local market. A "good" ice cream product" will develop and service an appreciative market. Have you ever seen a BYU coed pass up an ice cream cone or a twinkie? 'nough said!

Honestly? I buy Dreyer's over Snelgrove because it's cheaper!

I have found memories of the 21st South store and plant. As a child when the family would drive 'up north' from from southeastern Utah, a must stop was to see Uncle Laird and Aunt Edna (Snelgrove) then to the Ice Cream palor on 21st. As I attended the U it was a stop on many occasions.

The passing of Snelgrove Ice Cream, for me is losing a family member. I am so pleased the a scholarship will be named in honor of Uncle Laird at the Y, just before his death he graudate with his degree from there.

I will miss buying the carton of Snelgrove Ice Cream, on my next visit to Utah - it was for me a connection to my family and childhood, it brought Uncle Laird alive as I ate my bowl full of Ice Cream.

If you want good ice cream it's in Logan at the Aggie Ice Cream shop.
