This frosty favorite from Texas is back on shelves — and fans are thrilled
- Replies 0
If you ever spent a hot summer afternoon at a ballgame, fair, or amusement park in the 1980s or ‘90s, you probably remember grabbing a cold, lemony treat to cool off.
That icy, sweet-tart refreshment became a familiar part of the season—something you looked forward to as much as fireworks and backyard barbecues.
For many, it wasn’t just dessert—it was a little taste of summer itself.
Now, after years away from shelves and stadiums, Lemon Chill is making its grand return.
And this time, it’s not just about nostalgia—it’s about reaching a whole new generation of frozen treat lovers!
Lemon Chill first hit the scene in 1989 and quickly became a staple for Texans looking to cool off.
Known for its tart lemon flavor and fluffy texture, it offered a unique alternative to traditional frozen treats.
Over the years, it disappeared from most shelves, leaving many fans wondering if they'd ever taste that familiar lemon zing again.
Fast forward to today, and Lemon Chill is officially back in Texas.
The relaunch is tapping into both nostalgia and summer cravings, and it's not just for longtime fans — a new generation is discovering what all the fuss is about.
More than just a lemon-flavored ice, Lemon Chill stands out thanks to its special recipe.
It combines real lemon zest, oil, and peel, giving it an intense citrus flavor that’s hard to find in similar frozen treats.
It's spoonable and icy, like a homemade lemonade turned into dessert.
The company is also introducing a new strawberry flavor, made with real strawberry puree.
Whether you're loyal to the original or curious about something new, there's something to enjoy!
According to Lemon Chill's Chief Marketing Officer Deb McGinnis, the timing felt right.
"We're beyond excited to both introduce this fan favorite to a new generation and rekindle fond, nostalgic memories for longtime fans," she said.
The goal? Bring back a summer tradition and expand it beyond Texas.
And it's working.
Many are sharing their excitement online, with comments like "I used to eat these at Rangers games!" and "It’s gonna hit every time."
Lemon Chill is currently available in Texas, with plans to expand to more states soon.
You can find it at select stadiums, amusement parks, and grocery stores.
Keep an eye on the brand's website and social media for updates on new locations.
