Could a big tub ice cream help bring people together? One family from rural Louisiana thinks so.

When the Schmidley family, which includes six children — some biological, some foster and a mix of races — sat down to enjoy Blue Bell ice cream recently, they wound up sparking a surprising debate about the name of flavor.

After choosing the "Great Divide," which is half chocolate and half vanilla, as a reward at the end of a week of schoolwork, the Schmidley's 10-year-old son commented that it should be called "the Civil War flavor," according to a post on LoveWhatMatters.com, where mom Traci Schmidley first shared herstory.

From the perspective of the child, who was just recently studying the Civil War, he said the line down the carton reminded him of the Mason-Dixon line and "the name reminded him of a time in history when our nation appeared to be irrevocably divided."

So they wrote a letter to Blue Bell ice cream company suggesting a name change.
