Maybe it’s the salt air whipping through your hair as you twist and plunge on the sweet rides at Morey’s Piers that evokes a salty-sweet connotation.

That classic boardwalk pairing was chosen by Morey’s and Dippin' Dots, the makers of the flash-frozen beaded ice cream, for a special flavor to celebrate Morey’s Piers 50th anniversary.

It combines salted caramel-flavored ice cream with pieces of pretzel bites. And it will be available exclusively at Morey’s Piers' Dippin' Dots locations.

WE PICKED THE FLAVOR, NOW WE NEED A NAME! Dippin' Dots has created an exclusive ice cream flavor celebrating Morey’s... Posted by Morey's Piers & Beachfront Water Parks on Thursday, January 17, 2019

“When you think nostalgically, the seashore and caramel is a historic fit. Add to that the salt air and salt water that inspire the famous salt water taffies,” said Denise Beckson, Director Morey’s Piers. “We decided salt and caramel had to be part of a flavor celebrating our long history. But, it was still missing something …. Voila, add some pretzel bites for a bit of crunch and we have the perfect marriage of flavors and nostalgia!”

And now they want help naming this concoction.

If you fill out this form to submit your name suggestion and it gets picked, you could win Dippin' Dots for a year, two ride and waterpark passes, a $50 dining card, and official Morey’s Piers and Dippin' Dots swag. The contest ends on January 24.

It has been so popular that in the first 24 hours, Morey’s received about 2,000 entries with name suggestions. “We are excited to reveal the new name in February and for our guests to try our exclusive 50th Anniversary flavor this summer,” said Maggie Warner, public relations manager for Morey’s Piers.

The idea to make an exclusive Dippin’ Dots flavor to mark Morey’s Piers anniversary came about in 2017, at an amusement park food and beverage conference in Branson Missouri, Warner said.

“We came up with the flavor and they said it would work,” she said. “We had our first taste-testing in November where we tasted three varieties and identified the one that we thought was best. Several members of our food and beverage team, along with other Morey’s Piers team members, tried and voted on their favorite flavor. Dippin’ Dots made some tweaks and honed in on the product, sending us a revised flavor in December. We tweaked it some more and then made a final decision.”

Dippin Dots has been on Morey’s Piers for 23 years and has about 10 locations there. Nationwide, Dippin’ Dots has 7,000 locations within about 1,500 different amusement parks, zoos, aquariums and arenas. Plus, it has 120 franchise locations in malls and standalone stores and treks to more than 10,000 festivals and events. Dippin’ Dots are also sold at more than 12,000 convenience stores nationwide, said Kim Milite, Dippin’ Dots Director of Sales-East Division.

Morey’s Piers was started by brothers Bill and Will Morey who began as entrepreneurs in Wildwood during the 1950s. Bill operated concession stands along the boardwalk and Will was a contractor and developer who built the doo-wop-style motels that are now synonymous with the seaside town.

In the late 1960s, they entered the amusement business after seeing a giant, 12-lane fiberglass slide in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They purchased a similar slide, called “The Wipe Out” and have steadily added to their empire -- more than 80 rides on three amusement piers and more than 50 water attractions in two waterparks -- in the decades since.
