Lactose Free Vanilla: we bet if you let your friends and family try this vanilla without telling them it is lactose free, they wouldn’t be able to guess! It was a favorite of many Perry’s team members at our annual company meeting, and you simply have to try it! It makes sense for us to be so confident you’ll like it, since the only difference between our regular premium vanilla and our premium lactose free vanilla is the absence of lactose.

You may not have noticed, but at Perry’s we’ve tried to make finding your favorite product easier. How did we do this? We’ve color-coded the package! Below is a simple guide to help you decode the different offerings.

Perry’s signature premium ice cream is in a black package. For seasonal or special offerings, sometimes we add some extra details (like pumpkins on Pumpkin Pie) but the background is black.

Extra tidbit: Perry’s was the first to use a black carton in the ice cream category!

The only exception is for our specialty flavor with the Buffalo Sabres, Top Shelf Sundae. It is blue and gold, of course!

Perry’s all-natural premium ice cream is our newest package, with a light brown textured background.

Perfectly Churned™ light ice cream has a yellow gold background with a churned swirl.

Light no sugar added ice cream is in a deep blue package. A scroll on the package also calls out the vitamins, sugar content, and fat content in the product!

Perry’s frozen yogurt has a deep magenta package. Like the light no sugar added ice cream, this package has a handy scroll that lists all the vitamins in the product!

Last but, not least, sherbet is in a white package with light blue accents.

Hopefully this guide will help you find your favorite product the next time you visit the ice cream aisle. And if you accidentally grab the wrong item, we guarantee it will still taste great!

This year we decided to make holidays come sooner for 3 lucky winners of our Taste of The Holidays Sweepstakes. While everybody is enjoying Apple Pie and Pumpkin Pie at their Thanksgiving dinner, our winners would be able to serve up Peppermint Stick and White Christmas.

These flavors aren’t in stores just yet, so we are shipping them right to the winners door (on dry ice). This means Perry’s Ice Cream fans in Florida, South Carolina and even California – anywhere in the US, actually, – have just as good of a chance to see those two at their doorstep as anybody else who enters. So, enter via THIS LINK, and spread the word!

The sweepstakes entries are taken in the week of November 5th, and the winners are to be announced November 12th in this post and on Perry’s Ice Cream Facebook page tab. See the sweepstakes’ rules for complete details.

Good luck!
