Carvel, a Georgia-based firm, is a cherished company.
Many people have memories of birthdays marked with their signature ice cream cakes or an ice cream sandwich eaten in the car every Saturday morning after a soccer practice.
Any changes to a product that is known and loved by a person or company can be difficult to pass to those who are adamant to the idea.
Dennoch, the producer of America's Freshest Ice Cream is attempting to expand on a classic.
What's the Strawberry Crunchie's?
Carvel, which is owned by Focus Brands and Roark Capital Group, has announced that it is adding a strawberry flavor to its Crunchies offering.
Typical Carvel's cakes, cones, and ice cream sandwiches are used to crispy cookie pieces.
The Crunchies topping, which is now available only in chocolate and vanilla, has been established in many individuals' associations about how a wonderful ice cream cake should look.
In 2021, Carvel experimented with sweetened Crunchies and Cookie Butter, but both were limited-edition items meant to test the market.
Strawberry Crunchies will be available on various foods including the Cake Cone, Strawberry Crunchies Cake, and Strawberry Dasher ice cream sundae.
"We heard our fans who asked us for even more incredible opportunities to indulge their favorite tastes through our new offerings," Jessica Osborne, vice president of marketing at Carvel, said in a statement.

Foods that are nostalgia and snack go hand in hand.
Many fast-food establishments have relied on the nostalgia factor for developing new items in the last few years.
Krispy Kreme, an iconic donut business, has recently launched a Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal inspired by General Mills.
White Castle, which has been around since 1921, recently expanded into its early streetcar days and announced a takeout-only location in Orlando.
Those who watched "Mulan" were particularly pleased to see McDonald's () - temporarily the elusive Szechuan sauce that it eroused for the film in 1998 and quickly became a hit.
This emphasis on nostalgia of childhood eating experiences (or, for even older brands, fast food history) may be a crutch and a powerful way to keep a loyal customer base.
Despite the fact that restaurants like McDonald's thrive because of a menu that changes very little over the years, other companies keep customers coming back for products that remain stable and disobey.
Yum! Brands - Taco Bell, a company, will occasionally tease fans with the return of something like the one or the only to remove them after a couple of weeks.
What Strawberry Crunchies will do for Carvel will be announced in the future.
"Strawberry is one of our most popular flavors, and we knew that putting a familiar twist on Crunchies, a classic that has been part of Carvel's history, would be perfect for making new memories during all kinds of festivities," Osborne said.
