Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, is at the forefront of the ice cream business. Although he avoids sweets and carbohydrates to maintain his physique, he is a fan of Portland, Oregon-based SALT & STRAW ice cream. Not only has he invested in the company since 2019, but in 2023, he personally proposed a limited-edition flavor inspired by The Rock, which became a huge hit!

Selena Gomez follows a similar pattern, investing in the ice cream brand Serendipity and developing song-inspired flavors that have been well-received.

Snoop Dogg, who says, "Ice cream is essential for chilling and relaxing and being happy," will launch his ice cream brand, DR. BOMBAY, in the summer of 2023. Available in large supermarkets across the US, sales are booming. New flavors will be added in 2024.

Tyra Banks and Cher are the ones who run not only the brand but also the ice cream store. It took Tyra 15 years from planning to realization, and Cher 5 years, so they're serious about it.

Also, Charles Leclerc launched the ice cream brand LEC in the spring of 2024, and it was first sold in Italy. For F1 drivers who are conscious of their weight, ice cream is a "guilty pleasure," but low-calorie ice cream is no problem. We look forward to the international expansion of these ice creams.

Cardi B

Cardi B's vodka-infused whipped cream "Whipshots," launched in 2021, are a huge hit. They're great for enjoying as an alcoholic beverage, but they also make a great ice cream topping. They come in four flavors, including mocha, and they'll change the flavor of your ice cream!

Ai Yoshida

Architect Ai Yoshida opened an ice cream shop called yacone in Hiroshima in 2023. Inspired by the ingredients she encountered on her travels and the delicious memories she had, the shop uses ingredients from the Seto Inland Sea to create ice cream, including flavors like Gorgonzola & Walnut Honey, which go perfectly with wine!
