Fun fact of the day

Apparently, Nestle is the manufacturer of both Hot Pockets and Alpo.

Yup. They actually make just about everything. The list of companies they own is quite impressive.

And honestly I don't care if they make dog food or not but they make haagen dazs and they have the best coffee ice cream ever!

Doesn't it worry you, even just a little that there might be overlap in the ingredient departments?

I would assume (and yes I know what happens when u do that) that they are manufactured in different facilities. I do not eat hot pockets. But if for some reason there is a little Alpo in my Haagen Dazs it sure tastes good! LOL

You know the funny thing about that ice cream? It's not even foreign. The guy who created it was a New Jersey dude with a background in marketing who thought (quite rightly as it turns out!) that Americans would pay more for something that sounds European...

Have u ever tried that ice cream? Well I have only had their coffee ice cream, it was the first coffee ice cream I tried. It was a big giant mistake because now I can't find one better. It is ridiculously expensive, but oh so heavenly delicious. I pay for the goodness of it.
