Ruggles® Packs Big Chocolate Flavor into Pint Containers

ORRVILLE, Ohio--The Mayans used cacao beans as currency, an Aztec legend cites that cacao was delivered to earth as a gift from the gods, and the Spaniards considered chocolate a health food and medicine. Today, Americans consume 10 to 12 pounds of chocolate per year. And now, chocoholics can satisfy their cravings for Ruggles Chocolate Premium Ice Cream in a new, convenient pint size.

“Chocolate ice cream is the second most-popular flavor behind vanilla,” said Penny Baker, marketing director for SMITH’S. “For those who love chocolate, we’ve packed a lot of rich and creamy taste into this new, smaller container. It's perfect for sharing with a friend, or keeping on hand for yourself for those moments when only chocolate will do!”

Ruggles Chocolate Premium Ice Cream in the 16-ounce container is being introduced this month throughout the region. Suggested retail price is $2.49 to $2.89.
