"studies have shown?" that doesn't seem likely. Citation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.76.9.246 (talk) 15:30, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

The flavor is shown to be made in both Michigan, Jupiter FL, AND Texas, anything to back up any of the claims? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.6.124.81 (talk) 20:46, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Superman ice cream, Traverse City in 1965
Hi

There is an oral tradition that Denny Strong created Superman ice cream at his Traverse City House Of Flavors (c 900 E. Front Street - it no longer exists) during the summer of 1965.

Regarding Stroh's making it during Prohibition, the Superman character did not appear until mid 1938.

 * The name "Superman" seems to have been used before the character existed. Which is why the ice cream has been able to be sold by certain makers as such without license fees. Regardless, we would need reliable sources about this oral tradition before we include such in the article.
 * Also the last sentence doesn't appear to be germane to the discussion at hand. ~Gwennie &#128008; &#xFF5F;💬 📋&#xFF60; 23:08, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
