Tom & Jerry’s Ice Cream Introduces New Flavor: Cheese

The beloved ice cream brand Tom & Jerry’s, based off the cartoon series by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, recently introduced a series of bold new flavors. Ice cream lovers who enjoyed their classic flavors, including Chocolate Mous(s)e, Marshmeowlow Fudge, and Banana, can now explore new flavors. The launch featured one particularly distinguished flavor: Cheese.

The flavor pays homage to the iconic mouse Jerry, who famously loves eating deliciously shaped yellow blocks of cheese in the animated series. The carton claims Cheese is the perfect ice cream to place in a cartoon mouse trap.

This bold flavor has critics raving. Ice cream critic Jacques Roquefort called Tom & Jerry’s Cheese “a masterpiece.” Others were confused, as what they purchased in-stores was different than advertised. One disappointed customer reportedly had to go to the emergency room after his body swelled and transformed into a giant block of cheese in what doctors called a “freak allergic reaction.”

Tom & Jerry’s declined requests for further comment, despite dozens of others coming forward with cartoonish symptoms. These reports aren’t deterring diehard ice cream fans from trying Cheese, however. After trying the flavor at a Tom & Jerry’s ice cream shop, a customer was heard telling their partner, “Hole-y shit, that’s good!”
