Ice Cream
Today, Brigham's ice cream products and Élan Frozen Yogurt are sold at grocery stores and supermarkets throughout New England. Brigham's offers its premium ice cream and sherbet in 21 flavors, as well as five seasonal specialty flavors. Élan Frozen Yogurt offers six low fat all natural flavors. They are well known for some of their original flavors including the Big Dig Ice Cream flavor, Raspberry Lime Rickey Sherbet and Irish Coffee. In 2004 Brigham's celebrated its 90th anniversary with the introduction of the new Reverse the Curse Ice Cream Flavor. The next year, after the Boston Red Sox won the World Series, Reverse the Curse, was renamed Curse Reversed by a New England-wide election. Later, it was renamed Dice-Kream, after Daisuke Matsuzaka joined the Red Sox. The new flavor's launch became the most successful in Brigham's history. Nevertheless, Brigham's signature flavor remains Vanilla. Consistently the number one selling ice cream in the Boston area, vanilla remains a Brigham's trademark. Although November and December are traditionally the worst months for ice cream retail sales, these are the months when Brigham's has its highest sales. This is largely attested to the desire for vanilla ice cream during the holidays.

Famous quotes containing the words ice cream, ice and/or cream:
“...there was the annual Fourth of July picketing at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. ...I thought it was ridiculous to have to go there in a skirt. But I did it anyway because it was something that might possibly have an effect. I remember walking around in my little white blouse and skirt and tourists standing there eating their ice cream cones and watching us like the zoo had opened.”
—Martha Shelley, U.S. author and social activist. As quoted in Making History, part 3, by Eric Marcus (1992)
“Every incident connected with the breaking up of the rivers and ponds and the settling of the weather is particularly interesting to us who live in a climate of so great extremes. When the warmer days come, they who dwell near the river hear the ice crack at night with a startling whoop as loud as artillery, as if its icy fetters were rent from end to end, and within a few days see it rapidly going out. So the alligator comes out of the mud with quakings of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“After a few months’ acquaintance with European “coffee,” one’s mind weakens, and his faith with it, and he begins to wonder if the rich beverage of home, with its clotted layer of yellow cream on top of it, is not a mere dream after all, and a thing which never existed.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
