The origins of the Klondike Bar can be traced back to Switzerland and the Isaly family - a family known for fine dairy products. William Isaly founded the Isaly Dairy Company around the beginning of the 1900s. William had four sons: Chester, Samuel, Charles and Henry and all had a hand in the family business. Ice cream novelties such as ice cream on sticks and ice cream bars were originally introduced in the 1920's. The original Klondike Bar was handmade by dipping square slices of ice cream into pans of rich, delicious Swiss milk chocolate.

The family produced the bars in Ohio just outside of Youngstown and in Pittsburgh. There also were Isaly Dairy Stores - where the bars and other dairy products were sold. By the 1940s, the Isaly family had seven dairy plants that supplied more than 300 Isaly dairy stores. Klondike Bars were sold in all of these stores.

Until the 1970s, the Klondike Bar was sold only in Pennsylvania and Ohio. In 1978, distribution expanded into Florida, followed by New York and New England. Then, in 1982, a new factory opened up in Clearwater, Florida, and a nationwide advertising and publicity campaign was launched with the tag, "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?" Soon, Klondike Bars became available for purchase in the supermarkets all over the US. In 1993 Unilever acquired the Isaly Klondike Company and the Klondike brand became part of Good Humor-Breyers.

This acquisition made the Good Humor-Breyers Ice Cream Company the market leader in novelty ice cream. It also put Americans of every age within reach of the most comprehensive line of chilly treats in dessert history.  Good Humor-Breyers Company produces Breyers Ice Cream and Good Humor, Klondike, and Popsicle frozen novelties, four of the oldest brands of ice cream and frozen novelties in the U.S.

The Klondike Bar is known for the delicious variety of frozen novelty products with the distinctive "polar bear" logo and foil wrapper. Reese's Klondike Bar is very good with their Reese's Peanut Butter-flavored ice cream and milk chocolate coating. They also have Reese's Peanut Butter Cup pieces in the ice cream. It comes in the typical Klondike Bar block shape.

The Klondike Ice Cream company has joined forces with Bent Image Lab, in Portland Oregon to create a new spokesperson for their new 98% Fat Free Klondike Ice Cream Bars.  The newly formed CG team was headed by veteran Director David Daniels. During the design phase for the bear, nose was added from one of the canine models and the teeth from my TiGorilla Model to help speed up production.  Those teeth were extensively reshaped to make them much less scary looking.

The wallet was modeled and textured and the holes were made in the original CG version of the ice cream bar. The animation was tweaked on the wallet shot the final scene animation for "Runners" got key framed, where the bear gets to wiggle his toes as he lustfully anticipates the joys of his 98% Fat Free Klondike Bar.

So decide for yourself what you would do for a Klondike Bar.
