what happen to buffolo bill ice cream

Steve, if u can put me in touch with the makers so i can conntact them to send me some. thanks

i actually thought it was called bubbalo bill but that, to this day, is still my favorite memory of ice cream. had it in brooklyn ny and still remember chasing the truck

I have to admit, Buffalo Bill ice cream was the best. It was a BK thing, man when my dad bought it for me, I loved it. I wonder if they still make it. :0(

Did Buffalo Bill used to have a joke on his nose?

Folks, you're talking about the ice cream bar by the name of BUBBLE-O BILL!! BUFFalo Bill was that crazy cross-dressing serial killer from Silence of the Lambs, remember? "It places the lotion in the basket."

I believe it was Buffalo Bill!!!!!!!!! I never thought I would see people actually writing about this.It is still one of my favorite memorys from my childhood.Hey heres another one....How about the Green Frog with m n m eyes????? Yup deff a BK thing cuz thats where im from :0) lol

Bubble O'Bill and Fat Frogg!! The 80's were the illest!

Hey people you are all quite strange! It was actually called Bubble- O Bill. Its a pun because Buffalo Bill was a cowboy/hunter that liked to skin animals. Thats why the Icecream looks like a cowboy. Also @ SZA, The nickname for the serial killer in The Silence Of The Lambs was Buffalo Bill but that nickname came from the real Buffalo Bill (the hunter) who skinned the animals alive just like the serial killer in the movie did. Trust me guys go search around google if you don't believe me. But i am correct. Also one last piece of Trivia, The actor (not quite sure his name) who played the serial killer in The Silence Of The Lambs most recently has played the role of Adrian Monks boss in the tv show MONK. Just a random fact their as i am a huge fan of that show. Also a huge fan of Horror and Thriller movies (eg. Silence Of The Lambs) and huge fan coincidently enough of icecream (eg. BUBBLE-O BILL) Happy hunting guys (maybe not funny, but a personal reference to buffalo bill)

Mr. Chompie, should we be scared that your online hook is 'Mr. Chompie'??!!! ;)

Hey everyone, we still get Bubble O Bill's here in Australia, they're a favourite from the '80s that's managed to last the test of time and they're iconic here - everyone loves a Bubble O Bill!! You'll all have to come visit Australia to get a fix =)
