Season 3 of the Netflix show will be released on July 4. The two new flavors the Canton, Massachusetts-based chain is unveiling are Eleven’s Heaven, waffle cone-flavored ice cream with chocolate-coated sugar cone pieces and a chocolate-icing-flavored ribbon, and Upside Down Pralines, chocolate ice cream with praline pecans and a chocolate-caramel flavored ribbon. For those unfamiliar, Eleven is the name of one of the key characters on "Stranger Things," (/story/money/2019/05/21/new-coke-back-after-34-years- thank-stranger-things/3751131002/) and the Upside Down is an alternate dimension. Baskin-Robbins and Netflix are also partnering to create a Scoops Ahoy ice-cream truck, a reference to the ice cream parlor that's on the show. It will serve fans on the West Coast in June.

The ice-cream chain also will sell exclusive "Stranger Things" merchandise, such as a Steve Funko figure, 1980s-inspired magnets and sticker sets and Stranger Things T-shirts. And fresh-packed ice cream will be sold in four limited-edition take-home containers with show-related designs. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/05/30/stranger-things-ice-cream-coming-baskin-robbins/1287027001/?fbclid=IwAR078pkSeojAIWDQIx0… 1/3 6/25/2019 'Stranger Things' ice cream is coming to Baskin-Robbins The company said it's teamed with TV shows in the past, including "Seinfeld," "The Price is Right" and "The Steve Allen Show."
