Superman flavour ice cream? I would love to know what that's about.

It's strange, but when I was young, there were only 3 flavours of ice cream (vanilla, strawberry and chocolate) commonly availble in Britain. There were a very few specialist shops that sold strange and exotic flavours like mint choc chip or honeycomb. And nowadays, a curry flavoured ice cream went on the market last week.
