Answer 1

Dickie Dee

Dickie Dee Ice Cream was a Canadian ice cream vending company from 1959 to 2002.

Dickie Dee was founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1959 by the Barish family and grew to be one of the largest ice cream vending companies in North America. At its peak, Dickie Dee had approximately 1500 operators across Canada and in the Northern United States. Ice cream products were sold out of a fiberglass compartment on a modified tricycle. Dickie Dee also had a Fleet of ice cream trucks that operated in areas with hills that could not be serviced using the bicycles.

The bicycles were equipped with bells which the operator rang to alert children to his presence.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s Dickie Dee promoted products at gas stations and retail outlets in freezers called "Bubble Cabinets". The Bubble Cabinets were chest-style display freezers with a clear plastic dome shaped lid, which allowed seeing the various products.

Dickie Dee maintained a network of distributors to operate its equipment. Distributors leased the equipment and purchased the products from designated company suppliers. Small distributorships were turnkey operations that could be run from a family garage while larger centres had warehouses and yards.

In 1992 Dickie Dee was sold to Unilever and became a division of Good Humor-Breyers. Good Humor-Breyers maintained the Dickie Dee Brand and Program until 2002. Today much of the remaining equipment is privately owned by former distributors who are still selling ice cream products as independent operators under a variety of names.

Diplom-Is

Diplom-Is AS

Diplom-Is AS is a Norwegian manufacturer of ice cream owned by the dairy group Tine. In 2005, the company produced 51,100,000 litres (11,200,000 imp gal; 13,500,000 US gal) of ice cream, and held a market share of 53% domestically.

Among the most notable own brands are Royal, Dream, Krone-Is, Pin-Up, Lollipop, Sandwich, Pia, Gullpinne, Gigant and Klin Kokos. It also produces the franchise Mövenpick, Mars and Nestlé in Scandinavia.

The first ice cream factories in Norway were established in the 1920s, and towards the end of the decade the Norwegian Dairies established their own brand, Diplom Is in Oslo, with its first advertisement appearing in 1930. By 1931 the production went on continually through the year, and Oslo got its own ice cream truck. Production was low during World War II, and after the war there were numerous independent ice cream manufacturers. Many of these were owned by the regional dairy cooperatives. In 1951 these were all branded as Diplom-Is and the brand became national. Though having a common brand, it was not until 1991 that all the production of ice cream by the dairies was collected in one company, Norsk Iskrem BA (lit. Norwegian Ice Cream). The following four years saw the "ice cream war" between Diplom-Is and the Swedish GB Is, but by 1995 GB had to withdraw from the market. At the same time Diplom-Is started to franchise produce the Swiss brand Mövenpick. In 1992, the company established itself in Denmark, and in 2004 in Sweden. In 2002 the legal name changed to Diplom-Is AS. On 30 September 2010 Unilever signed an asset purchase agreement with the Norwegian dairy group TINE, to acquire the activities of Diplom-Is in Denmark.

Double Rainbow (ice cream)

Double Rainbow is a brand of premium ice cream, sorbet, and soy-based 'ice cream' based in San Francisco, California. The company has franchises across the United States and also sells quart and half-gallon products through chains such as Trader Joe's. All of their ice creams are certified Kosher by the Orthodox Union.

Double Rainbow was founded in 1976 by Michael Sachar and Steve Fink, two friends from Brooklyn who moved to San Francisco and opened an ice cream parlor on Castro Street. They sold Haagen-Dazs ice cream until Haagen-Dazs demanded they stop; they then developed their own brand of ice cream, which became locally popular and then saw increasing success after they won a 1982 ice cream contest in Philadelphia. The chain expanded to Southern California in 1985. In the late 1980s the company pursued legal action against Haagen-Dazs in an unsuccessful effort to end Haagen-Dazs's distributor exclusivity requirements.

Dove (chocolate)

Dove (sold as Galaxy in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, India, Indonesia, Ireland) is a brand of chocolate made and marketed by the Mars company. Dove produces a wide range of chocolate, including dark chocolate, milk, caramel, fruit and nut varieties, truffle and chocolate pieces with a folded milk chocolate center.

The name comes from Dove Candies & Ice Cream, which were Chicago sweet shops owned by Leo Stefanos, a Greek-American. In 1956, Stefanos created the Dove brand of ice cream bars, which were only sold locally in Chicago until 1985 when distribution began in selected cities around the country. The Galaxy brand was first launched in the UK in 1960. In 1986, the company was acquired by Mars, Incorporated.

The Galaxy and Dove brands cover a wide range of products including chocolate bars in milk chocolate, Caramel and Fruit & Nut varieties, Minstrels, Ripple (milk chocolate with a folded or "rippled" milk chocolate centre), Amicelli, Duetto, Promises, Bubbles and Truffle. Related brands in other parts of the world include "Jewels", and "Senzi" in the Middle East. The Galaxy and Dove brands also market a wide range of products including ready-to-drink chocolate milk, hot chocolate powder, chocolate cakes, ice cream and more. The Dove brand is known for the messages written on the inside of the foil wrapper of each individual chocolate piece.

Answer 6

Dove Bar

Dove Bar is an American ice cream bar, created by Leo Stefanos at Dove Candies & Ice Cream in Chicago in 1956, and introduced nationally in 1985. The brand was bought by Mars Inc. in 1985, and the Dove Bar today is made by M&M/Mars. The Dove chocolate brand was named for the ice cream.

Each ice cream bar has either vanilla or chocolate ice cream, coated in chocolate. The ice cream bars are sold either individually or in a three-pack. It is considered both ice cream and candy.

The flavors currently available are: Milk Chocolate with vanilla ice cream, Dark Chocolate with French Vanilla ice cream (original), Milk Chocolate with Almonds and vanilla ice cream, and Milk Chocolate with chocolate ice cream and a chocolate swirl (Triple Chocolate Ice cream Bar).

The traditional DoveBar has famously presented the consumer with the Consumption Conundrum, where eating a full bar is usually too much, but eating a half bar is just not satisfying.

Dove ice cream is also sold in pints or "Miniatures". The pints also have a layer of chocolate ganache on the top, containing an impression of the Dove logo.

U.S. production takes place in Burr Ridge, Illinois.

Drumstick (ice cream)

Drumstick is the brand name, owned by Nestlé since 1991, for a variety of ice cream-filled ice cream cones sold in the United States, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, and other countries across the world. The original product was invented by I.C. Parker of The Drumstick Company of Fort Worth, Texas in 1928.

A typical drumstick consists of a sugar cone filled with ice cream topped with a hardened chocolate shell and nuts, and much later, with a chocolate lined cone and a chunk of chocolate at the bottom. Drumsticks are available from a variety of supermarkets, ice cream trucks and convenience stores.

Due to the historic popularity of this dessert, it is commonly called a drumstick even if it is manufactured by some other company and branded otherwise. "Forever Summer" has been a tagline for this brand.

The ice cream cone concept originated at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. An ice cream maker at the fair discovered that he ran out of bowls to serve ice cream. He still had ice cream to sell, so he asked a waffle vendor to roll some waffles into cones for his ice cream. His ice cream sold and it became a finger food. In 1928, the Parker Brothers, Bruce, I.C. and J.T., added to the invention by adding a chocolate coating with nuts to it. One of the brothers’ wives said that this invention looked like a chicken leg, commonly nicknamed a drumstick in the US.

Nestlé purchased The Drumstick Company in 1991.

In October 2012, Nestlé Drumstick hit the 1 million mark on their Facebook page. They celebrated the social achievement with "The Drumstick Ode to One Million Fans," a musical ode to their fans in a music video, thanking fans from specific cities and states and “raising a cone” to them. In the video, actor Nick Marzock plays a ukulele while calling out names of real users who’ve liked Drumsticks on Facebook.

Eskimo Pie

Eskimo Pie

Eskimo Pie is a brand name for a chocolate-covered vanilla ice cream bar wrapped in foil, the first such dessert sold in the United States. It is now marketed by Nestlé, owners of Dreyer's of the Western United States, and Edy's of the Eastern United States. The product was introduced to New Zealand in the 1940s, and is produced by Tip Top who are now a subsidiary of Fonterra, the country's largest multinational company.

Danish immigrant Christian Kent Nelson (1893-1992), a schoolteacher and candy store owner, claimed to have received the inspiration for the Eskimo Pie in 1920 in Onawa, Iowa, when a boy in his store was unable to decide whether to spend his money on ice cream or a chocolate bar. After experimenting with different ways to adhere melted chocolate, to bricks of ice cream, Nelson began selling his invention, under the name "I-Scream Bars." In 1921, he filed for a patent, and secured an agreement with local chocolate producer Russell C. Stover to mass-produce them under the new trademarked name "Eskimo Pie" (a name suggested by Mrs. Stover), and to create the Eskimo Pie Corporation. After patent 1,404,539 was issued on January 24, 1922, Nelson franchised the product, allowing ice cream manufacturers to produce them under that name. The patent, which applied to any type of frozen material covered with candy, was invalidated in 1929.

One of the earliest advertisements for Eskimo Pies appeared in the November 3, 1921 issue of the Iowa City Press-Citizen.

Stover sold his share of the business. He then formed the well-known chocolate manufacturer Russell Stover Candies. Nelson became independently wealthy off the royalties from the sale of Eskimo Pies. In 1922 he was selling one million pies a day.

Nelson then sold his share of the business to the United States Foil Company, which made the Eskimo Pie wrappers. He retired at a young age, but reportedly out of boredom rejoined what was then called Reynolds Metals Company (now part of Alcoa) in 1935, inventing new methods of manufacturing and shipping Eskimo Pies and serving as an executive until his ultimate retirement in 1961.

Eskimo (ice cream)

Eskimo, S.A

Eskimo is a national ice cream chain from Managua, Nicaragua.

The couple Mario Salvo and Josefina Horvilleur, daughter of a French immigrant, founded the company in 1942 as a small business operating from their home in the city of Managua. Ten years later, as the business grew, Salvo imported half dozen ice cream carts from England in order to improve the distribution chain.

With the triumph of the Sandinista revolution in July 1979, Eskimo was expropriated by the state. The company returned to the Salvo family in the nineties and in 1992 Eskimo started expanding to the rest of Central America.

Currently, the company produces 5,300 tons of ice cream and exports to Honduras, El Salvador and Costa Rica.

Eskimo is also the "Heartbrand" ice cream brand of Unilever is some European countries - including Austria, Croatia, Slovenia and Norway (and Hungary until 2003; in that country the brand changed to Algida).
