Kal’s Ice Cream trucks carry all the major ice cream brands. You can choose among:
Klondike Ice Cream Bars
Did you know that the origins of this yummy ice cream treat dates back to the beginning 1900’s in Switzerland? Handmade cream cream bars were dipped into delicious Swiss chocolate.
Unilever acquired the Isaly Klondike Company then in 1993. Today it is part of Good Humor-Breyers.
Popsicle Ice Pops
Did you know that the invention of the popsicle ice cream was an accident? Imagine 11 year old Frank Epperson in 1905…On a cold winter night he left a mixture of soda powder, water and a stirring stick in a mug in his porch. The next morning it was stuck together as a frozen pop. At the time he still called it “Epsicle”. His friends at school loved this treat and he fine-tuned it over time.
In 1923 finally Frank Epperson changed the name to “Popsicle” and applied for a patent. We are still thankful for this ‘accident’…
Good Humor
This ice cream started out in the 1920’s when Harry Burt created a chocolate coating with ice cream. His kids were very much involved in the tasting process. What a tough job!
Did you know that in the 1950’s to become a “Good Humor Man” you had to go through a rigorous 3-day training?
Blue Bunny
Did you know that the name “Blue Bunny” was born through an ice cream naming contest? In 1935 a Sioux City man won the contest with a cash prize of $25.00 submitting a rendition of the “Blue Bunny” character. The town Le mars in Iowa is called the ice cream “Ice Cream capital of the world” because more ice cream is made there than in any other spot in the world.
Hood Ice Cream
Did you know that Hood Ice Cream was introduced to the public right here in Boston? More than 100 years ago Hood Ice Cream was served for the first time at the Hood dairy bar in Beacon Street in Boston. Hood also was the first producer of frozen yogurt in the US.
