Because I’ve never shied away from dealing with the big issues.
Hood has a flavor of ice cream they have named Cow Chow. They describe the flavor as “corn cereal”.
Obviously Hood didn’t want to pay for licensing rights . But what is the corn cereal that this ice cream supposedly tastes like? Kellogg’s Corn Flakes? Corn Chex? Kwix? Cap’n Crunch? Quisp?
I’ll admit I’m not a cereal fan and I don’t see the appeal of an ice cream with a cereal flavor.
From their site:

They’re probably going for taste of the milk left in your cereal bowl after you finish eating it.

Let’s talk about the ice cream base. While it doesn’t taste like vanilla it also doesn’t have a distinctive cereal taste. The flavor that most strongly stands out to me is the sweet milk left behind at the bottom of the cereal bowl after you’ve had sugary cereal. I liked it, but it didn’t make me think of corn cereal.
It may be worth noting that ‘cereal milk’, while not common, isn’t unheard of flavor for this kind of thing:
Liquid Death even makes cereal flavored water.
I keep seeing this title as “Chow Chow ice cream” and that is NOT something I want to try.
Personally if I had been in charge of developing an ice cream called Cow Chow, I would have made it grass flavored.
Which might indicate why no ice cream company has put me in charge of developing new flavors.
Hot Pot flavor.

The inability to transport your ice cream across state lines is going to hurt national sales.
