A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on June 29, 2016.

The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the House of Flavors' signature ice cream is the secret formula "Blue Moon" flavor (pictured) that they have been making available to their customers since 1935?

Current status: Delisted good article

Can someone tone this down and make it read like an encyclopedic article rather than an advertising piece, it currently reads as if it's a feature in a magazine rather than something Wikipedia should be hosting. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:05, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Puuuj (talk) 19:14, 21 August 2016 (UTC)Most of the article looks good, though the last section still seems to be written like an advertisement.[reply]

5 or 4 flavors?

It says "that came in five flavors - vanilla, French vanilla, chocolate, and blue moon.", but that only lists 4. Is one missing, or were there really only 4? T-bonham (talk) 04:43, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

For the infobox, I suggest using "plainlist" instead of <br />.

The lead also needs to be expanded to better summarize the article.
