_{There is some debate as to who first invented and marketed Cookies 'n Cream ice cream.}

• _{John Harrison, the official taster for Dreyer's/Edy's Ice Cream, claims he invented it first for the company in 1982.}
• _{Blue Bell Creameries claim they first mass-produced the flavor two years earlier in 1980 after an employee tasted it in Houston ice cream parlor the year before; however, they do state "Blue Bell makes no claim to have invented it but certainly pioneered the flavor." Blue Bell Creameries is reported to have trademarked the name "Cookies 'n Cream" in 1978.}

• _{Another claimant is Steve Herrell of Massachusetts' Herrell's Ice Cream.}
