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…
After waiting 3 years for a patent, Burt took a trip to Washington D.C. in 1923 with a five-gallon pail of Good Humor® Bars for the patent officials to sample. It worked – his patent was granted.
During the Great Depression, Good Humor® introduced a bar for 5¢ – half the price of a normal bar.
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.
