You Can Now Get ‘Stranger Things’ Ice Cream in New England

Talk about a pop-culture bonanza that even someone like me, who's so not into science fiction, is obsessed with.  Stranger Things' unprecedented popularity kickstarted almost immediately when it debuted in the summer of 2016.  And let's be honest, it's been so frustrating that it's taken seven years to have four seasons.  Of course, it's not the show's fault. We did have the pandemic and now the writer's strike, which has halted the production of the fifth and final season.

According to Radio Times, while we may have to wait until 2024 or 2025 to see the final battle in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, we can at least chill out with ice cream flavors from Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream Parlor.

As any fan knows, that's the ice cream shop in the now-destroyed mall where the character Robin Buckley (played by Maya Hawke) worked.  The character of Steve Harrington, played by Massachusetts' own Joe Keery, also worked there.

There are "regular world" flavors of U.S.S. Butterscotch, Triple Decker Extravaganza, Cinnamon Bun Bytes, and Chocolate Pudding, then there's the "Upside Down World" with The Void, Mint Flair, and Pineapple Upside Down.   According to Netflix, you can find Scoops Ahoy at most Walmart stores across New England including New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts locations, or simply click here if online ordering is your thing.
