Superman is an ice cream flavor. It is usually a red, blue, and yellow swirl. It was invented in the Midwestern United States in the early 20th century, mainly Michigan and Wisconsin. You can also buy it at ice cream parlors, such as Baskin Robbin's or Hershey's ice cream sellers in the United States.
It was invented before Superman, the DC Comics superhero character, but is often thought to be named after him, as his costume uses those colors. Makers never license Superman's name, often instead using a different name to avoid legal issues. Many brands use different flavors.[1][2]
The blue ice cream is often Blue Moon, which has a hard-to-place flavor. It was also invented in the early 20th century, and can also be bought in the United States at ice cream parlors that sell Hershey's ice cream, as well as some grocery stores and gas stations.[2][3][4]
Superman is thought to have been invented by Stroh's Ice Cream in Detroit, Michigan during the Prohibition Era.[1][2]
