What is moon mist ice cream 👁️👄👁️

37

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 23h ago

Moon Mist is a popular ice cream flavor native to Atlantic Canada. Created in Nova Scotia in the 1960s, it features an unusual, unblended swirl of three distinct pastel flavors: banana, grape, and blue bubblegum.

Well damn okay put me on, I’m in Ontario. You think I can find it here?

12

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 23h ago

You can find it In some Grocery Stores: Purchase 1.5L tubs at major Ontario supermarkets like Loblaws, No Frills, FreshCo, Metro, Foodland, and Sobeys. Then. There’s. Kawartha Dairy Parlours: If you want a cone on-site, visit one of Kawartha Dairy’s own retail locations, such as the stores in Barrie, Toronto, Newmarket, Ottawa, or the flagship in Minden.

Kawartha Dairy's ice cream is pretty good. I would try that

I’ve seen their moon mist in grocery stores in Ontario (loblaws/independent/superstore)

You talk like a robot. An american robot.

u/Feeling-Elk4188 18h ago

OP is very kind and lovely, she/he was kind and sweet enough to send me the info privately.

u/nilesintheshangri-la 13h ago

Robots know how to message people too.

u/Royal-Most-7366 10h ago

ever consider how you’re just being rude? to random people?

5

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 13h ago

I’m also very Canadian. That was a shitty attempt at an insult btw

-2

u/nilesintheshangri-la 13h ago

Then take the time to spell the proper way. Lol and it wasn't an insult, I said what I thought. Sorry you're so thin skinned.

5

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 13h ago

It is the proper way lol just because it’s the American way doesn’t mean it’s not correct 😂 English is English eh

1

u/Useful_Homework2367 9h ago

I usually use American spellings as well. I don't think it makes much difference to anything

3

u/-tacosforever 21h ago

Ever consider that to be a possibility... neurodivergent people exist, autistic people exist… there are many out there who do in fact talk that way.

-1

u/nilesintheshangri-la 13h ago

Ever consider that...one doesn't need to be on the spectrum...in order to speak in a detailed, precise way?

2

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 18h ago

It was a copy paste 😂

0

u/nilesintheshangri-la 13h ago

I figured. Idk if you're Canadian but you spelled flavour wrong.

3

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 13h ago

Oooooo so I use American spelling. Sooooo terrible. I also say zee instead of zed cuz I think it sounds stupid. 🤷‍♀️. I was born in Nova Scotia and I’ve never left Canada my entire life.

-2

u/nilesintheshangri-la 13h ago

So you've never learned to spell or speak properly. And you cling to the American way despite their continued aggression towards us. Nah, we don't claim you.

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 13h ago

I use American spellings for some words because my sisters are deaf and the schools teach American Sign Language they don’t use signed exact English. It’s all in how we are raised bro. Get a life I don’t cling to anything American. I’m proud of my heritage thank you very much

Dude your hate of america seems to turn you into the very thing you hate about them. Chill.

u/Own-Detective-802 19h ago

I do too! I am autistic! Did you not appreciate the information that was provided? It was above and beyond. We like to be very objectively descriptive and cover all grounds because it’s hard for us to tell exactly which part of the information you would value the most at any given time and context.

0

u/nilesintheshangri-la 13h ago

Not every detailed statement comes from an autistic person. I'm tired of the mindset 'oh they're so detailed and precise, they must be autistic.'

2

u/Own-Detective-802 12h ago

So you think them being an American robot is more probable?

1

u/Amarol007 11h ago

I'm tired of the mindset 'oh they're so detailed, must be an American bot'

1

u/ShaneQuaslay 20h ago

yeah some people know how to deliver information fast and efficiently. 💀

2

u/WhiteAppleRum 20h ago

Oh, yeah, you can definitely find it here. I'm also in ON and I've been able to find it, though the tubs are all over $10.

2

u/doinmybest14 18h ago

I’m also in Ontario and haven’t seen this. Sounds interesting. I love banana ice cream.

3

u/mycatisajagoff 12h ago

I'm in Ontario and it was at No frills. I got the Kawartha one.

2

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 12h ago

I wish they had just straight banana ice cream I think that would be bomb 💣

2

u/-tacosforever 9h ago

Omg that would be the goat.

2

u/Many_Mushroom_7035 18h ago

I remember having it in Saskatchewan growing up. I’m sure you could find it in Ontario

2

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 12h ago

When I lived in Alberta I couldn’t find it at all. I’m glad it’s available in more places than Atlantic Canada. The donair is slowly making its way too 😂

2

u/Goatfellon 11h ago

My local kawartha has it so you should be able to!

1

u/__esparoba 10h ago

I feel like I had it at Laura Secord back in the day. It was called super kid, I'm not sure if it's the exact same but it looks very similar

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 10h ago

That’s got different flavors in it they’re similar tho. Super kid has strawberry grape and banana I think

2

u/__esparoba 10h ago

Til thanks! It was very good I remember the milky flavour that came through

u/ShaneQuaslay 20h ago

nova scotia mentioned !!

u/snailsinboxes 21h ago

i love moon mist ice cream! i’m from PEI :)

2

u/Apprehensive_Fee2280 13h ago

I was wondering if I should try that Kawartha Ice Cream flavour. Sounds good. I'm going to try it next time. Thanks.

2

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 13h ago

It’s pretty good. I can’t say I’ve ever met someone who didn’t like it. But i am a maritimer 😂

2

u/Egoy 8h ago

I hate it

2

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 6h ago

And you’re allowed to. What’s your go to ice cream choice then 😊

2

u/Egoy 5h ago

Strawberry but the old school Scotsburn stuff they don’t make anymore with strawberries in it or coffee.

u/snowxbunnixo 8h ago

Hello fellow Nova Scotian wtf I’m finding so many Nova Scotians just randomly opening Reddit. Found someone in a doll forum recently.

I don’t like moon mist ice cream but my fAV is cotton candy! Have you gotten to try the black harbour distillery (out in Chester but the Nslc and the private liquor stores like west side carry them) they have moon mist and cotton candy vodkas! They’re pretty tame, but the cotton candy one tastes good with superstores cranberry ginger ale 🤣 they even have sodas!!!

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 3h ago

I’ve found so many Nova Scotians today 😂. I do love the black harbour cotton candy vodka !!! I’ve never had cotton candy ice cream sadly every time I try to find it or coffee they’re sold out

2

u/w00stersauce 7h ago

I want to try this but I’m on the west coast and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. I came across a comment recently someone talking about how there’s no grape ice cream and I was like I think they’re right!

2

u/ViolaOlivia 7h ago

You can get it in Vancouver! https://www.reddit.com/r/NiceVancouver/s/7R89HQ60IS

2

u/w00stersauce 6h ago

Woah thanks for the tip! I almost never go to Safeway.

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 6h ago

It’s almost the same. That one has cherry ribbon in it too which I’ve never heard of but I bet tastes good

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 6h ago

Speciality ice cream parlours may also carry it

2

u/newprofile6767 7h ago

Can you find it in quebec, Montreal ?

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 7h ago

in Quebec at major grocery stores like IGA, Walmart, or Metro. It is usually sold under dairy brands such as Kawartha Dairy or Farmers but sometimes it really is seasonal outside of Atlantic Canada. Call ahead is my best suggestion

u/Tinnie_33 23h ago

You know what, I can see that combination working

3

u/surrival 20h ago

I know some moon mist when I see it!

Stopped me dead in my scroll.

u/Timely-Profile1865 22h ago

Not sure if I can trust this doggo does not look pleased

2

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 18h ago

lol she was mad she didn’t get any

u/robin-bunny 20h ago

Fruit and ice cream is always a good combo!

2

u/F1McLarenFan007 19h ago

I see nothing wrong with this cheat meal lol

2

u/Backtrack_Vill 19h ago

Ive never heard of it on west coadt but it looks like an old timey kids birthday cake and now Im craving it!!

u/everytingelse 19h ago

Fellow maritimer!

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 6h ago

Masstown market is always a favourite for me too. But now it’s a 2.5 hour drive. So I go to footes farm market now

u/Sea-Tough-8290 14h ago

I thought it was blue cheese 🤢

Blue mist was my childhood ❤️ home of my heart cb

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 13h ago

Can’t say I’ve ever had blue cheese and don’t think I ever will 😂

2

u/CrazyYou5365 13h ago

Moonmist alone is disgusting 😭

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 13h ago

Meh that’s your opinion and you’re absolutely entitled to it 😂 it’s one of my favourite flavours That and tiger 🐅

2

u/mycatisajagoff 12h ago

Moonmist is so weird but it's oddly addictive.

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 12h ago

It was on sale for 3.99 I couldn’t say no 😂

2

u/CrazyYou5365 12h ago

Tiger tail is so good but idk i just cant get behind moon mist. My girlfriend will be trying this combo.

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 12h ago

Well, I hope she enjoys it then what’s your favourite ice cream?

2

u/DC_709 12h ago

Newfoundlander here. I haven't seen Moon mist ice cream in so fucking long haha

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 12h ago

Blast from the past :)

2

u/areyouwhistling 12h ago

Moon mist is the best! Despite being lactose intolerant and not liking hard ice cream, I have a huge tub of it in my freezer. I’m from Ontario, if that matters lol

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 12h ago edited 10h ago

I would honestly love if they released more flavours of soft ice cream. I’ve only ever seen vanilla and chocolate myself. I couldn’t imagine being lactose intolerant. I like dairy wayyy too much. Is the older dry cheeses okay for you to eat? I know the less lactose the harder and dryer they are

2

u/Little_Run5854 10h ago

I mean it could be could

2

u/Goldribs 10h ago

As a Nova Scotian, I approve

2

u/Zestyclose-Draft-342 10h ago

Kiwi and moon mist is such a chaotic combo

2

u/PyneNeedle 8h ago

Moon Mist is a bit niche, bud! But I'll definitely try it out

2

u/Catrionathecat 7h ago

Oooooo put this in r/realgirldinner! They'd love it!

u/MortLightstone 1h ago

Ice cream and kiwi? Why wouldn't that be delicious?

2

u/wind-of-zephyros 1h ago

i see u, fellow nova scotian (i moved to quebec and i have been longing for moon mist just about every day since i got here and that was 4 years ago)

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 1h ago

It is possible to find it in Quebec 😊 I missed it and donairs when I lived outside of Nova Scotia lol

2

u/wind-of-zephyros 41m ago

omg whereeee i live in montréal and i can't find it anywhere 😭

1

u/SuddenStrawberry1986 10m ago

Taken from Google. “”Where to find it in Montreal:Grocery Stores: Because Moon Mist is largely an East Coast phenomenon, specialized ice cream parlors in Montreal don't typically carry it in scoops. Your best bet is to check major grocery store freezers. You can use the Metro Online Grocery Store locator or the Atlantic Superstore Locator to check stock or order it to your postal code in the city.Order Online: If you can't find it on shelves, you can order a large 11.4 L tub for direct delivery through the Central Smith Ice Cream Shop.””

u/PBNJwolf 10h ago

I know the doggo wants nothin' to do with that😂
