The big wheel was sold at 7eleven stores in california But they where an oatmeal cookie with vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate.

I loved big wheels! They were at seven 11. the chocolate with mint ice cream was my favorite. Alot of good memories eating big wheels.

I remember the big wheel ice cream. They were chocolate, mint, or vanilla in the middle of a cookie and they were so good. Why did they stop making them.

The big wheels were a HUGE part of my childhood in Orlando, Florida during late 70s and early 80s. You could only find them at 7-11s. My 2 favs were chocolate and strawberry. I wish they'd make a come back.

I remember Big Wheels. The only kind I ever had was with oatmeal cookies with vanilla ice cream in the middle all covered in a chocolate shell. Some other company used to make a similar product but they called them "UFO's".

MAYBE IF WE GENERATE ENOUGH INTEREST SOMEONE WILL BRING THEM BACK..... THE 80'S ARE BACK IN FASHION U KNOW.

Big Wheels were soooo good!! Man the oatmeal cookies and the ice cream together... 7-Eleven, bring 'em back!!

after all this blogging about the Big Wheel (mine were oatmeal cookies with vanilla ice cream covered in choclate) i've decided to run out to the store to get Archway oatmeal cookies, breyers vanilla & hershey's choc shell sauce - if you can't find, ya just gotta make your own!

i loved as a kid walking to 7-11 with my grandfather and getting a big wheel ice cream wish i knew who made them so they can make a come back!!!!

big wheels rock.......Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaase bring them back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're not coming back, because the company that made them went out of business. They tried to grow way too quickly, made a lot of mistakes, and are gone now.

I LOVED the chocolate cookie w/chocolate icecream - It's kinda neat to know that others share the same fond memories.

The 7-Eleven Big Wheels were far better than ANY ice cream sandwich today. I even liked how messy the chocolate shell got in the fingers by the time you're finishing the last bite. WHO OWNS THE RIGHTS??!! Bring 'em back.

Hi guys. I just found an Ice Cream similar to the Big Wheel(Which I first saw named The Big Otis in the late 70's, early 80's). If anyone has a Kroger's grocery store nearby, look for the Moonpie Ice Cream. Its under their 48oz. "Deluxe" brand. It tasted so much like the Big Otis/Wheel that I thought was my civic duty to let you guys know about it! Cheers! XD

The ice cream I'm looking for is called the UFO. It's two oatmeal cookies with ice cream in the middle and covered by chocolate, so good. But I can't find it any where but in stores down south.

trying to find Joe Dahl neighborhood friend of Lori Underwood. Please contact me @ figs88@att.net.

I LIVE IN VIRGINIA AND WE LOVED THE BIG WHEELS!MY SISTER AND I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT WHERE WE COULD FIND THEM AND HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET HIGH AND LOW. IF ANYONE KNOWS PLEASE POST!

Norma, we are in the South and found UFO's in Louisiana. What stores did you find them at? My family loved them. What is a Big Wheel? UFO's were also called Big Bites. It seems as though these are all similar just different names...

I live in South Arkansas and in the 80's we had big wheels in our small town store. They were the oatmeal cookies with vanilla ice cream with a chocolate shell. They were the best. Miss u lots big wheel, please come back. Lol

Yes!! I found people who knew the Big Wheel!! Nobody else I know remembers the Big Wheel. Yes the UFO is similiar to the Big Wheel, but it is much smaller and does not sell my favorite flavor (mint). Ijust found the UFO at a nearby gas station, but I was disappointed because they were a bit freezer burned. Yes, I want the true Big Wheel back too!!!

I love the big wheel. I favorite was the oatmeal cookies with strawberry,vanilla and chocolate covered in chocolate. Please bring it back.

Such fond memories of the Big Wheeel! The Best! Vanilla ice cream sandiwich'd between 2 giant oatmeal cookies covered in milk chocolate! Nothing comes close to it on the market these days!

I remember the BIG WHEELS,THEY WERE GREAT,A local party store called LAWSONS also sold a simular version in a small box called a CREAM BURGER,they were the greatest!!!

I didn't say go to Idaho, I said BUY Idaho.

Yes I am from Arkansas and found the UFO in a gas station in Brinkley, AR. I am searching North Star to try and order them but with no luck!

The Big Wheel is the same thing as an "It's-It". They're made in San Francisco and can be found all over the country at Safeway grocery stores. They are oatmeal cookies with ice cream sandwiched in-between and dipped in chocolate. They come in Vanilla,Mint,Strawberry,Chocolate and Coffee flavors. Go to Safeway, and check your ice cream aisle.

Kroger and Jay-C store still sell big wheels. Four different flavors to choose from. I buy "em regularly. One of the reasons I am so fat!!!

I have been thinking about Big Wheels forever...decided to google and here I am.....I live in a little Texas town and miss 7/11 Big Wheels. NO Kroger, No Jay-C, Can we ALL write 7/11???? Nothing compared to them.

when i was a kid my dad and i would go to 7 11 and get the big wheels and go to the park. lots of good times with that ice cream and my dad. i wish they would bring them back so i can share with my kids.

I having been searching everywhere to find the big wheel ice cream sandwiches i used to love as a kid.I wish i could find them they were so yummy. please bring them back.

omg i been looking everywhere for the big wheel sandwich like the ones 7 eleven use to sale, but cant find one like it...could you please bring it back because i want my kids to enjoy good old fashion ice cream like their mom use to enjoy...or can we order them somewhere...I will buy a few cases of them

OMG!! All hail to the Big Wheel!!! I can't believe there are others having Big Wheel withdrawls! My sister, brother, dear friend and I used to stay up late studying (trust me, weekdays only!)when we were in high school and college. We made nightly runs to the 7-Eleven for Big Wheels. We never had anything other than the vanilla ice cream sandwiched between 2 Oatmeal cookies and covered in chocolate. 7 Eleven's in Memphis closed shortly after I introduced my husband into them and we jokingly say, I'm ready for my Big Wheel!!! Goodness, we miss them!!!! BRING THE BIG WHEEL BACK!!!!

The 1st time I bought a Big Wheel was at 7-11 in 1980. It was the chocolate covered kind. Oh!! So so good! After about 15 minutes I started to feel really bad. Nervous in a bad way and I could barely think. It passed and I was clueless as to what had just happened. I bought another one a few weeks later. The same creepy feelings! NOOOOO! I really liked em! I didn't touch another one for years, but cravings seem to have a mind of their own. Yep, 15 minutes later same bad feelings. I'm not raining on the HUGE Big Wheels parade (remember i liked em too), but am I the only earthling this has happened to? Curious. Oh, Dove Ice Cream Bars cause the same reaction! I haven't seen a Big Wheel for YEARS. I saw them in my local Safeway last week, (no I didn't buy one!) so I googled and found this website! My newest obsession will devouring this cool website, at least it's not chocolate coated...

I no longer am an ice cream person..but I tell my kiddos stories of how i would go to 7-11 with nana and we would buy a couple big wheels and jus be in pure bliss..Why did they ever take that away..Big Wheel please come back home to me...I miss you long time!!!

My favorite was the Big Wheel Mint flavor...I REALLY miss those...my favorite ice-cream as a kid growing up in the 80's. Why after 30 years no ice-cream maker has made them?! They would sell REALLY well!!

yes good

Bring back the big wheel at 7-11

Whomever said Kroger has them....you dirty scoundrel. Why on earth would you get my hopes up? Yes...they have BigWheel ice cream sammies....but they store brand gut rot and evenly remotely resemble a big wheel! I mean did u even read this blog and the descriptions contained herein. Morons.

Loved the Big Wheel! Found almost the identical twin at Wal-Mart- they are called It's-It and are based out of San Francisco. Two oatmeal cookies with vanilla ice cream smothered in chocolate just like the Wheels!

I was just telling my husband about them last night... I remember getting them as a special treat as a kid -- now, I am an adult and moved to a small town in NC where there is not even a 7-11! I wish 7-11 would bring back the Big Wheels!

Bring the big wheel back...please.

I loved the mint bigwheel and would be willing to order some or drive to them if they ever came back. I would ride my bike upto the local 7-11 and get my favorite treat.

Ufo north star ice cream

I was with a group of friends last night and brought up the Big Wheel. I told them how my friend and I would ride our bikes to the 7-11 and get one a couple of times a week when we were about 12 or 13 years old. I miss them. My favorite was the mint, but I also liked the vanilla. I would love for someone to start making them again. My kids would flip over them.

Hey you guyz big wheel ice cream still exist. They changed their name. They are now know as IT's-IT. The website is www.itsiticecream.com. I looked up the picture and just happen to find it. Check it out and let me know what you all think. I was going to order some but they charge a lot for a case and shipping.

Eating an Its It right now.....bought at local Walmart last night. Brought back all those fond childhood memories of the Big Wheel. It was a staple growing up as we lived next door to 7/11. Have spent my adult life looking for it.....and so excited I finally found it. It will be a regular treat on my "cheat" night!!

Has anyone found anything like it in Texas? I went to the It's It webpage but for 1 box it's $67 bucks shipped....that's crazy. LOL

I loved the big wheels too. Used to buy them at the 7-11 in Va. Wish they would come back. Just had a great value ice cream that reminded me of them. It was peanut butter cookies with peanut butter ice cream in the middle. No big wheel but it was pretty good.

Summertime 7-11 slurpees, bigwheels, dirt bikes Green machines, chopper bikes, hide and go seek, red light green light Simon says, speak and spell, speak and math, saturday am cartoons, laugh olympics, not IT!

I loved big wheels my sister and I wished sooooo bad they come back they were soo good seven 11

Texas became one of the Stop n go stores that were formerly 7-11 before their giant corporate Trade, and, that was the last I saw of the Big Wheel. Unsure at what point they disappeared from 7-11's, but I'm sure someone out there got to eat the last Big Wheel. I hope he enjoyed it, they were the best lip smackin', finger lickin' Treat of All Time. I am in good company...Good bye Big Wheeler's.

BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is all.

I am from Germany and I knew that big wheel while I was on vacation in Florida in the late eigthies. I am always thinking about this great taste and was hoping to order it. Still hoping it's coming back.

"Its it" walmart. Tastes just like the big wheel!.

Yes there was the Its-It also-made near San Francisco maybe not nationwide- and virtually the same (no chocolate covering) but the cookie tasted kind of weird to me. So I prefered the Big Wheel, and it had more varieties. I miss those a lot :-(9

Oh man those things were the best! Chocolate sandwich cookies and chocolate ice cream dipped in chocolate. So good.

Loved to munch on those Big Wheels back when there were pinball machines in the 7-11 stores. Memories of 1979

When we lived in Denver We got big wheels at 7-11 on Colorado blvd..they were super, loved the chocolate ones. They had the best ice cream ever. Someone should bring them back. Nothing compares since.

I remembering being happy when I got a 50 cent piece because that's how much Big Wheels cost!

The 80s were great in Phoenix,go to the 7/11 and get a Mississippi mud pie big wheel,sure would love to have another....

I have fond memories of Big Wheels as well... the closest thing we have found is an ice cream called "It's It." Like the Big Wheel it comes in different flavors so far I have been able to buy mint and vanilla but I know they come in strawberry and a few other flavors. They have a website, check them out. If you go to their website and you are willing to pay $65 in overnight shipping you can get a case shipped to you, the cost of the ice cream is $22 in addition to the overnight shipping cost. I'm going to call the distributor and see if they can bring strawberry to my local store where I know they sell the mint and vanilla.

Big wheels were made by a dairy that was owned by the southland corporation -- the same people that owned 7-11 corporate at the time. I know this because my dad drove a truck for then in the 70's. Needless to say our freezer was full of them because he could get them free.

Just bought a box of It's It at Costco. They are similar to Big Wheels but not as good. The ratio of cookie to ice cream is wrong and the cookies are not as soft as I remember the Big Wheel to have been.

When I was a little girl, my favorite ice cream treat was the Big Wheel at 7-eleven! I now make my own! I use the oatmeal cookie recipe from the Quaker oatmeal canister (choc oat chip cookies), but I make them plain (no chocolate chips or raisins) with Mayfield vanilla ice cream! I put them in freezer baggies and re-freeze. They are delicious and incredibly addicting! I have never tried dipping them in chocolate because they’re pretty amazing without it. But for you adventurous chocolate lovers, you may find the perfect chocolate to dip them in! And if you do, please share!

I actually preferred the vanilla and strawberry ones. I wasn't too wild about the chocolate or mint ones.

My Dad, Luther Elkins, who worked for Southland Corp. in Dallas, Tx, originator and owner of 7-11s, was directly involved in the development of the Big Wheel in the 1970s. He was Corp. Manufacturing Mgr. at the time and was over all the company’s dairies,ice cream and other manufacturing facilities. My brothers, sisters, Mom, nieces got to eat all the prototypes my Dad brought hone as the product was developed. My Dad passed in 1996, so reading the comments above brought back fond memories.

I bow down to your dad! I loved those things!

These cookies need to come back! If my comment is going to get them back great but if not what’s the use of talking about them!😪

“Big Wheels for a big deal!” Oh those were the days. As a kid I would walk the mile or so down to our local 7-eleven in great anticipation to procure this most delicious ice cream treat. I was just having some ice cream bars with my kids and reminiscing with them over what they missed out on. If only I could stream my favorite 80’s jams and share in the joy of the best ice cream novelty ever made!

Pam, Big Wheels did not become It's It. It's It has been around for like a hundred years, long before Big Wheels. They just happen to be similar to each other...

I didn't say go to Idaho....I said buy Idaho
