  • Our History

    It all started in 1920 when Harry Burt created a chocolate coating compatible with ice cream. His daughter was the first to try it. Her verdict? It tasted great, but was too messy to eat.

  • Burt’s son suggested freezing the sticks used for their Jolly Boy Suckers (Burt’s earlier invention) into the ice cream to make a handle and things took off from there…

  • Good Humor® bars have been sold out of everything from tricycles to push carts to trucks. Take a look at how they’ve evolved over the years.

  • In the early days, Good Humor® men were required to tip their hats to ladies and salute gentlemen. Not much has changed since then.

  • The Good Humor® name came from the belief that a person’s "humor", or temperament, was related to the humor of the palate (sense of taste). And we still believe in quality tasting products.

  • By 1960 there were over 85 Good Humor® ice cream products. "The Classics" – Candy Crunch, Chocolate Eclair, Strawberry Shortcake, Toasted Almond – were re-launched in 1992.
