Peanut Butter Jelly Time by Snoop Dogg

Various Retail Locations

This isn't a special, it's just kind of awesome.

If you still haven’t heard of Snoop’s ice cream, it can be found in most major retail stores, including Walmart. So celebrate back to school with a pint of a childhood classic in delicious ice cream form.
