I scream, you scream: Jack Nicklaus' love of ice cream leads to own brand
Even Jack Nicklaus, golf's Superman, has his version of kryptonite. It has been said that Nicklaus never walks by a clubhouse buffet without grabbing a scoop or two of ice cream. Now the Golden Bear is giving in and sharing his love of ice cream with the public.
A partnership between two family-owned companies rooted in the Midwest has produced Jack Nicklaus premium ice cream, manufactured by a division of the Schwan Food Co., the 60-year-old Minnesota-based manufacturer and marketer of fine frozen foods.
"It's no secret that I love ice cream," Nicklaus said. "Needless to say, I have never had so much fun in the research and development of a product."
The new Jack Nicklaus pint-sized ice cream will be available at Winn-Dixie, Bi-Lo and Kroger stores in select markets, with a suggested retail price of $1.99. The ice cream comes in seven flavors: warm spiced butter pecan, chocolate peanut butter swirl, salted caramel toffee, strawberry lemonade, triple chocolate, coffee and donuts and homemade vanilla.
