There are many different brands to choose from when it comes to ice cream, and often it can be a tough choice on which one to choose. While some care more about flavor, there are those who care about the brand as well, as which one you choose can dictate how soft it is, how smooth it is, and how enjoyable it is. A recent study by traceone.com revealed each state's favorite national brand of ice cream, and the number one brand in America is Blue Bell, and it wasn't even close. Blue Bell was the favorite in 22 states, with Ben and Jerry's being second with 9 states, and Tillamook being third with 8 states. Colorado's favorite national brand is Blue Bell, agreeing with many in the country. National brands are not the only choice, though, so which local brand is the favorite in Colorado?
