Selena Gomez marked her venture into K-pop with a new flavor of ice cream after collaborating with South Korean girl group Blackpink for their forthcoming single “Ice Cream”.
Serendipity Brands will release “Cookie & Cream Remix” on Friday, Aug. 28, coinciding with the drop of Blackpink and Selena Gomez’s highly-anticipated “Ice Cream”.
The treat, made with “pink vanilla ice cream, crunchy cookie bites and swirling gobs of gooey fudge,” will be available for $5.99 (or approx. P290) in supermarkets, convenience stores and other food retailers across the United States and online at SerendipityBrands.com.
“For the Cookies & Cream remix, I wanted to put my own personal spin on this classic flavor by making it with pink vanilla ice cream as a nod to my girls BLACKPINK and celebrate our new song ‘Ice Cream,'” Gomez said in a statement.
