The Cherry Popper Ice Cream Company, or simply Cherry Poppers, is a brand of ice cream featured in both the 3D Universe and HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series.

In the 3D Universe, their mascot is a character called Whoopee the Clown, sometimes referred to as Mr. Whoopee, which is also the name of the ice cream van used to distribute their products.

Description

3D Universe

The factory of The Cherry Popper Ice Cream Company is located in Little Havana, Vice City.

After the mission Shakedown, the player can purchase the factory and save the game there.

In 1986, Tommy Vercetti buys the factory and the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Company from former owner Maude Hanson. Tommy initially bought the factory believing it to be an actual ice cream factory, but upon finding out that the ice cream is a front and that the factory actually distributes drugs, Tommy starts using the company vans to sell his coke shipments in the streets. After selling 50 units in a row, $3,000 can be picked up outside the factory.

It is unknown when the company was founded, as the factory building is present in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (set two years earlier in 1984) but there is no indication as to whether it is owned by the company, as the ice cream scoops on the roof are absent. Although a Mr Whoopee van can be seen at the Washington Beach Fairground at that time, its connection with the company is not established within the game.

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the company is also present. "Family size" tubs of Cherry Popper ice cream can be found in convenience stores all across San Andreas. The player can also see ice cream vendors selling ice cream on stands around the state, where some ice cream can be bought for $1 to replenish health.

HD Universe

The business is still running as of 2013 and has greatly expanded to locations in Liberty City and Los Santos.

The Cherry Popper Ice Cream logo appears on the side of Mr. Tasty ice cream trucks in Grand Theft Auto IV and tubs of Cherry Popper's ice cream can be seen in the fridge of the 69th Street Diner.

The Cherry Popper advertisements and freezers can also be spotted in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
