They are in Columbus too.

Yes but they are from Cincinnati and the corporate HQ is here. We've had Graeters in Cincinnati since 1889. They've had Graeter's in Columbus since 1992.

I totally agree with this post about Graeters being "from" Cincy. I was just being flippant. I also understand that there are more OSU fans out there than Cincy fans. What they should have done, though, is "pint" both, make a competition of how much of each they sold and donate to each school's scholarship fund. Instead, they decided to make a stupid comment about if UC wins, then they will pint their flavor. I love Graeters but this wasn't a good PR move to alienate customers in their hometown. People vote with their wallets a lot these days.

The UC Football Twitter account chimed in on The Graet Ice Cream Debacle of 2019. They responded to the Tweet about pinting the Boldly Bearcat flavor if they win saying that if UC wins they should pint Boldly Bearcat AND rebrand the Buckeye Blitz. Coming strong there. Graeter's will never rebrand the Buckeye Blitz, nor should they, but they could do more for their hometown school.

FYI, for those flipping out over the Buckeye Blitz flavor, Graeter's has had that one for years and have had older packaging featuring the OSU mascot. The issue started when they announced new packaging for the flavor during UC/OSU game week and a lot of people mistook this for a release of the flavor altogether.

That's why I'm confused by a lot of the outrage of that flavor even existing...it has been around for multiple decades now
