Everyone loves Dolly Parton…and her line of ice cream!
Jeni’s Ice Cream announced a limited-edition line inspired by Dolly Parton, Strawberry Pretzel Pie, sounds amazing right? Apparently, a lot of folks felt the same. The flavor was released online and in stores on Thursday, and it was so popular that Jeni’s website immediately crashed upon its release.
Fans also formed around the block at several locations of Jeni’s stores.
I guess I still came way too late for the @jenisicecreams Dolly Parton drop. The line is already around the back of the building before the Clintonville location opens at noon.
Gonna be doubtful I even get a pint to try. pic.twitter.com/ZOxG4ekg2S

Weird how there weren’t lines this long when @Jenisplendid put out a flavor with onion and garlic (ironically, the only thing I’ve eaten so far today was an everything bagel) https://t.co/PuxbcDWREc

Jeni’s released a statement apologizing for the issues.
To those of you trying to order Strawberry Pretzel Pie online, we are so sorry. This sucks. The flavor is NOT sold out. Our website issues have lasted longer than expected, but we are working on it and will let you know via email and social media when we’re back up and running.

Hopefully, Dolly at least got a pint after all the good she’s done for the world this year!
Dolly gets a (second) dose of her own medicine.
Thank you Dr. Naji Abumrad, Andrea Calhoun and Heather O’Dell of @VUMChealth ❤️ pic.twitter.com/IDez2DnkzX
