The Cherry Popper Ice Cream Company: Difference between revisions

The '''Cherry Popper Ice Cream Company''', or simply '''Cherry Poppers''', is an ice cream company first featured as a front for drugs distribution in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. The company's name has since resurfaced many times in subsequent games.

Cherry Popper is first featured in GTA Vice City based at the [[Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory]] located in [[Little Havana]], [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]], and owned by [[Maude Hanson]]. After "[[Shakedown (GTA VC)|Shakedown]]", the factory can be purchased by the player for use as an asset and savepoint, but is also revealed during the purchase cutscene that the factory is merely a front for more illicit activities, mainly drug dealing. Thus the factory is central to the "[[Distribution]]" side-mission, which involves selling drugs out of the Cherry Popper factory's [[Mr Whoopee|Mr. Whoopee]] ice cream trucks.

In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], [[Vendors|Cherry Popper stalls]] selling ice cream can be found in various urban locations for the player to replenish their health and stave off hunger. The stalls also depict what appears to the the mascot of the company, Whoopee the Clown, a character first seen on [[Mr. Whoopee]]s in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]].

Boxes of "Chocolate Chunk" and "Raspberry Ripple" Cherry Popper ice cream can also be found in [[24/7|24-7]] stores, and Cherry Popper logos can also been be seen on a handful of crates in the game, which texture is also, unusually, used on dumbbells in [[gym]]s.
