Maybe, but you definitely see more niche flavors like pistachio, coffee, mango, pineapple-coconut, rum raisin, etc. Hard to believe apple would be less popular, unless it’s more expensive to make for some reason.
Comment on Why isn't apple a popular ice cream flavor?

Pure speculation on my part, but it’s probably a safe guess to assume some market studies and/or trial runs they did on the flavor showed it wouldn’t make enough profit. It’s always about the money. I’m sure many people would buy it and enjoy it, but we are talking about corporations run by people with expensive college degrees in min-maxing everything for profit.

Maybe it’s less popular because so many people buy ice cream to eat with actual apple pie, or some other kind of pie which might taste weird with apple pie flavors.

Jesus. So you expect companies to produce products that lose money?!
Or, do you expect them to remove more profitable products, which by definition are widely loved, from the limited shelf space and replace them with less profitable products, which by definition, fewer people enjoy? You’d fail running a lemonade stand.

Profits are fine. Have you not been paying attention to skimplflation, CEO bonuses, etc? That’s the min-max mindset I’m talking about here.

As I have lost the only vegan cheese dip in existence (in my country at least) do to that, I can totally believe it.
I’m still sad about the cheese, it was perfect for tacos and all things melted cheese.

That’s a bummer. I have noticed products like that will often vanish. Or drop dramatically in quality when they swap out quality ingredients for cheaper ones.
