Little Baby's Ice Cream was an ice cream company based in Philadelphia.
History
The company began in 2011, selling ice cream from tricycles.[1] A brick and mortar location opened in August 2012.[2] The company received national attention for a 2012 commercial, "This is a Special Time", in which a person apparently made of ice cream uses a spoon to consume ice cream from their own head.[3][4] (The actual substance used was marshmallow cream.[5]) The company introduced pre-packaged ice cream pints in 2015 in containers similar to oyster pails.[6]
The company had locations in Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Baltimore.[7] Along with pizza restaurant Pizza Brain, the company faced harassment from Pizzagate conspiracists.[8]
In November 2019, Little Baby's permanently closed.[9]
Products
The company was known for its specialty flavors, including Earl Grey Sriracha, Vanilla Cardamom Cream, and Pizza.[10][11] In 2018, the company released a CBD-infused ice cream.[12]
Little Baby's had collaborated on foods with many other Philadelphia-based companies: pizza-flavored ice cream with Pizza Brain,[13] PYNK-flavored ice cream with Yards Brewing Company,[14] and multiple collaborations with Federal Donuts.[15]
