6 Old School Ice Cream Brands That Are No Longer Around - Tasting Table

"With so many ice cream brands and unique ice cream shops throughout the U.S. to choose from, there's no shortage of options to satisfy your sweet tooth. But even with the numerous brands crafting high-quality ice cream in classic and unique flavors, there's something nostalgic about old-school ice cream brands that take us right back to the good old days."

"Originally known as Bresler's 33 Flavors, this ice cream brand was started by William Bresler and his brother in 1929. What began as a simple ice cream cart in Chicago's Lincoln Park led to a wholesale business, a burger franchise called Henry's Hamburgers (which is now out of business except for one location), and eventually the brand's first ice cream parlor in 1962. It wasn't until 1987 when the Bresler chain was sold to Oberweis Dairy that it was rebranded to Bresler's Ice Cream."

There are numerous ice cream brands and shops across the U.S., providing many options and flavors, yet old-school brands evoke strong nostalgia. Some once-popular brands no longer operate, but memories of their classic and inventive flavors remain. Bresler's began as a 1929 ice cream cart in Chicago, expanded into wholesale, a burger franchise called Henry's Hamburgers, and opened its first parlor in 1962. The chain was sold in 1987 and rebranded, and by 2007 all locations had closed. Bresler's was known for bold combinations like Licorice Voodoo and Cherry Cola Sherbet, which continue to inspire fond recollections.
