The big news here, perhaps bigger than anything else in this issue, is the Dreyer’s/Edy’s brand of bonbons is being phased out. Yes, bonbons, the date of last resort for countless single women on Friday nights, the little frozen chocolate spheres of high-calorie happiness, will be gone by the New Year.
Don’t despair, don’t threaten lawsuits, don’t have bake sale fundraisers like they did when Star Trek Whatever was canceled; Bonbons are being replaced by Dibs, the frozen ice cream snack with the crunchity good, nut-covered chocolate exterior that is “the hottest snacking trend of the summer.”
