Cookies and cream is a beloved ice cream flavor that remains popular across shops and supermarkets. The debate over its invention involves multiple claimants, but a significant argument supports Shirley Seas from South Dakota State University. In the late 1970s, Seas created an ice cream with crushed Oreos upon experimenting with cookie crumbles. A legal consultation prevented him from naming it 'Oreo ice cream,' leading to the alternative name 'Cookies 'N Cream.' However, the university never secured a patent, allowing other claims to emerge.
Seas wanted to name his new flavor 'Oreo ice cream,' but a lawyer advised him against it due to copyright infringement. Instead, he went with 'Cookies 'N Cream.'
The bewildered students nearly cleared the shelves of the beloved cookie, which, at Seas' request, they crushed into a fruit feeder and mixed into vanilla ice cream.
Many uncommon ice cream flavors come and go, but one classic that doesn't fall out of favor is cookies and cream.
The strongest argument comes from South Dakota State University's Department of Dairy and Food Science, which has made commercially produced ice cream since 1910.
