Why didn’t this happen sooner? (Spotted by Allison H at Wegmans.)

Why can’t I find it?!
Not for 7.69 at stop and shop
These have been out for a few months. Tried the pineapple. If you’re expected the Disney treat, you’re going to be disappointed. Even if you follow the instructions, the texture is nothing like the original. I don’t know why they just didn’t try to do something more like soft serve. Flavor wise, it comes up a little short but its still flavorful. They’re also overpriced for their size too. If you’ve never had the original Disney version Dole Whip, you’ll probably like this a lot more. But knowing what the real one is, its hard to give this anything but middling scores
“I don’t know why they just didn’t try to do something more like soft serve. ”
They already have.
Look for “Dole Soft Serve Mix”. It’s a 4 to 5 pound bag for around $30.
This does NOT taste like the Dole Whip that I’m used to. I could handle the different texture since I know it’s hard to recreate a soft serve consistency at home but the taste is totally different. This one contains coconut cream which is not in the original Dole Whip. It doesn’t taste bad, just don’t expect Dole Whip. The coconut taste kind of overpowers the pineapple. After I finish my 8 pack from Costco, I won’t be buying it again.
These were a huge disappointment for me. I knew the consistency wasn’t going to be a match to the real thing, but the taste really threw me. Real Dole Whip pineapple is 100% pineapple flavored. These are 98% coconut, which shouldn’t be that surprising, since they’re made with coconut cream. Blue Bunny should partner with Dole to do a pineapple soft serve — they’re Soft line is great!
What is the fascination with mango?
Well, it *did happen sooner; back in May. It is disappointing that they’re disappointing.
The pineapple one is awful! I was so excited and willingly paid the almost $8 for it. What a disappointment!
From a previous comment;

It’s available in about 10 flavors, I think? Including Pineapple.
