3.3 million fans around Ohio can now enjoy The NutHouse in flavor form
Columbus, O.H. (August 8, 2023) – Hang on Scoop-y! Perry’s Ice Cream has officially announced the launch of their new co-branded flavor with The Ohio State University. To celebrate the die-hard Buckeye fan base, Perry’s has created The NutHouse, a new custom flavor available at retailers across Ohio — just in time for college football season.
Fans can now gear up for game day while enjoying The NutHouse — a creamy sea salt caramel ice cream with brownie batter swirls and peanut butter cookie dough. The scarlet and gray faithful across Ohio can pick up this delicious dessert at retailers including ACME, Buehler’s, Dave’s Fresh Marketplace, Discount Drug Mart, Giant Eagle, Meijer, and other nearby grocery stores. In addition to celebrating school spirit, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this flavor will go to support scholarships and other student activities at Ohio State.
“Working with Perry’s to create this flavor has been so much fun and has really gotten us excited for this sports season,” said Todd Knisley, vice president and general manager of LEARFIELD’s Ohio State Sports Properties, the university’s athletics multimedia rightsholder. “Our fans are loyal and passionate and what better way to celebrate Ohio State than with some ice cream? The contribution to student activities and scholarships also means so much to us, and we are all so appreciative of Perry’s for that.”
“While we were creating The NutHouse, we really wanted our end product to be representative of how dedicated, enthusiastic and passionate Buckeye fans are,” said Nichole Buryta, senior brand manager of Perry’s Ice Cream. “As they say, we all scream for ice cream, and Buckeyes scream for OH-IO. This flavor recognizes Buckeye Nation’s pride across the country.”
For the 3.3 million members of Buckeye Nation in Ohio, tailgates just got the ultimate boost. Fans can pick up The NutHouse at local retailers just in time for game day. And whether you’re watching from home, or making your way to “The Shoe”, Perry’s Ice Cream will keep you cool even during stressful games against your rivals in that state up north.
In addition to the millions of fans in Ohio, half a million Ohio State alumni are scattered across the United States.
For those tuning in from other states, game day also just got a lot sweeter. Buckeye fans outside Ohio can find this brand-new flavor online with shipping across the continental U.S. at shop.perrysicecream.com.
