Plymouth Ice Cream Shop Sells ‘Cap’n Jack Crunch’ to Benefit Cancer Research

5:07 PM | Tuesday, September 12, 2023

A popular Plymouth ice cream shop has come out with a new flavor this month to help benefit a good cause

Earlier this month, Honey & Mackie’s began selling a new flavor called “Cap’n Jack Crunch.” The flavor was inspired by Wayzata High School football captain, Jack Simon.

Last year, Simon was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He’s now in remission, but he still works to raise money for cancer research.

Honey & Mackie’s has partnered with Plymouth-based Kelly Brown Real Estate Group, which will donate $1 to Wayzata’s annual Tackle Cancer fundraiser for every scoop sold of Cap’n Jack Crunch.

Jack Simon is the captain of the Wayzata High School football team.

“We definitely encourage people to come on in and try it and support a good cause,” said Suzanne Varecka, owner of Honey & Mackie’s. “Typically for a flavor of the month, we sell through about 20-24 tubs throughout the course of a month, and we’re on track to exceed that by the end of September.”

Cap’n Jack Crunch is a brown-sugar based ice cream mixed with chunks of Cap’n Crunch cereal.

“When we came up with the idea, I thought it was gonna be really good,” said Jack Simon. “It’s better than what I thought it would be.”

The flavor is available at Honey & Mackie’s through Oct. 8.
