Dolly Parton teamed up with Jeni's Ice Cream and developed an ice cream flavor called Strawberry Pretzel Pie. The new favor raises funds for Dolly's Imagination Library, which delivers free books to children all over the world.

But her flavor started selling so much, the company's website was shut down and now the pints of ice cream have found their way to eBay where they are selling for a whopping $1, 000 a pint!

Jeni's posted to Twitter just a day ago, "We’re overwhelmed by the love and support you’ve shown for @DollyParton, @dollyslibrary, and Jeni’s. THANK YOU for being such amazing fans, we couldn’t do this without you. (4/4)."

Shortly after that post they followed it up with good news, "GOOD NEWS UPDATE! Strawberry Pretzel Pie pints will be available ONLINE ONLY this Thursday, April 15—and there will be two ways to get a pint!"
