Q. Is Star Spangled Ice Cream for real, or is this
website just a practical joke?
A. Star Spangled
Ice Cream is for real even though some people may think our flavor
names are over the top. And not only real, but really, really delicious.
Star Spangled is a private label brand made under the supervision of
an experienced, Baltimore-based producer of high-end gourmet ice cream.
Q. $76 for 4 quarts of
ice cream?! Are you kidding me?
A. As with
other perishable gourmet gift products like steaks, seafood, etc.,
the costs of dry ice packaging and UPS 2-day shipping make ordering
by mail more expensive than buying the same items in a supermarket. However,
Star Spangled's prices and quality actually match or surpass most other
high-end mail order gourmet gift ice creams (including Ben & Jerry's)
- plus our labels are funnier!
Q. Is Star Spangled available
in stores?
A. If you live
in the Baltimore area, you can now buy Star Spangled at Sweet Annie's,
1421 York Road, Lutherville, Maryland. Discussions are underway with
distributors and retailers in other US locations as well -- so keep
visiting our website and join our e-mail list for updates. If
you think of it, put in a good word for us with your local retailer. And
if you know anyone in the food distribution business who might be interested,
please have them contact us!
Q. What are your ingredients?
A. Click here for
a complete listing of our ingredients.
Q. Is Star Spangled kosher
certified? Do you make fat free ice cream?
A. For now,
the answer to both questions is "no" - but we appreciate
the tremendous interest that our Jewish and health-conscious friends
have expressed, and will certainly keep people's dietary needs in mind
as we expand our product line.
Q. Can I send Star Spangled
outside of the US, or to our troops in Iraq?
A. No. The
law requires that we ship within the US only. Of course, you can send
Star Spangled to military bases inside the US.
Q. You say that you proudly
donate 10% of your profits to charitable organizations that support
the men and women of the US Armed Forces, as well as US veterans. Which
charitable organizations specifically?
A. We donate
to the Oliver
North / Sean Hannity Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund,
which provides college scholarships to the children of those who have
been killed or permanently disabled while on active military duty.
We also donate to the Gun
Owners Foundation Gun Safety Project. We
will gladly consider your suggestions as well!
Q. Does Moxley's own
Star Spangled or endorse your conservative politics?
A. Moxley's,
a Baltimore-based award-winning producer of super premium gourmet ice
cream, is not affiliated with Star Spangled in any way except as a
vendor who handles our production needs. We have never discussed politics
with Moxley's owner and have no idea whether he is conservative, liberal
or apolitical. He's a stand-up guy who makes great ice cream, and that's
good enough for us.
