HERE’S THE
SCOOP
LAST YEAR A MEDIA COMPANY decided on
an ice cream social for all of its offices
across the country to celebrate its first
birthday. The company’s distributor con-
tacted supplier Midnite Snax (UPIC: mid-
nite) for a customized Do-It-Yourself Ice
Cream kit to mark the occasion. “Knowing
that the customer wanted to keep a purple
theme to match its logo, we were able to
source purple spoons, scoops, decorated
wraps for the paper cups, and of course,
our Corporate Color™ fills,” says Marc
Fraum, director of business development.
Toppings included chocolate-covered sun-
flower seeds, chocolate buttons, gummy
bears and nonpareil sprinkles, all in purple
to match the company’s logo. Purple bal-
loons and white confetti were included in
two of the clear containers to add to the
party atmosphere.
