Klondike bar

From Free net encyclopedia

The Klondike bar is a brand name for a dessert generally consisting of a vanilla ice cream square coated with a thin layer of chocolate. They are generally wrapped with a silver-colored wrapper, upon which the mascot for the brand, a polar bear, appears. In the UK, the generic name for this type of dessert is a choc ice.

The Klondike bar was invented by the Isaly Dairy Company of Mansfield, Ohio in the 1930s. Rights to the name were sold to Good Humor-Breyers, part of Unilever. It is known for its slogan "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?"
