Tillamook Debuts the Tillamook iScreen to Protect Ice Cream
If you know June 7 is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day, it’s likely because you’ve heard of the new Tillamook Chocolate Collection and the amazing news that the company launched Tillamook iScreen, which purportedly hides the ice cream from would-be ice cream thieves. The iScreens went on sale June 7, but sold out within hours, according to the company website. There is, however, a contest to win the iScreen, an ice cream scoop and coupons to guy the new chocolate ice creams.
By now, the secret is out about the new, decadent Tillamook Chocolate Collection, with ice cream lovers coast-to-coast digging into the four new flavors from America’s fastest growing scoopable ice cream brand. The collection is so rich and delicious, you may not want to share a scoop with anyone else, from partners to siblings to roommates…even those kiddos. And, you wouldn’t have to share, if only you could disappear it before they do. Enter the new Tillamook iScreen, a high-tech solution to protect your Chocolate Collection Ice Cream by making it hide in plain sight (say whaaaaat?), for sale on Tillamook.com on June 7 to celebrate National Chocolate Ice Cream Day.
With the Tillamook iScreen, you have a personal privacy shield that uses cutting-edge technology to make your Tillamook Chocolate Collection Ice Cream disappear right before your eyes (editor’s note: this is not magic, but it is magical). The Chocolate Collection Ice Cream carton becomes invisible to the naked eye as it sits just behind the Tillamook iScreen in your freezer, so it’s kept safe and ready to eat, just for you. No more precious scoops lost to those pesky freezer grazers who may be on the prowl for a sweet treat.
How, exactly, does the Tillamook iScreen hide your Tillamook ice cream in plain sight? We’re glad you asked: the Tillamook iScreen acts as an invisibility shield, using R&D that spans half a decade. The magic happens with materials made from lenticular lenses, which use tiny ridges to bend light, tricking the eye to make what’s behind the shield, simply, disappear. See the Tillamook iScreen in action and get your own at Tillamook.com for $19.99 starting June 7, just in time to celebrate National Chocolate Ice Cream Day.
Have you tasted the new Tillamook Chocolate Collection Ice Cream yet? Created for lovers of chocolate, the new collection is made with extra cream (Tillamook uses more cream to achieve a higher milkfat than is required) and 45 percent more cocoa than our classic chocolate ice cream flavors, creating richer, darker, decadent flavors that provide maximum delight by the spoonful. Get your chocolate craving fix with four flavors, including:
- German Chocolate Cake: This dreamy dark chocolate ice cream is mixed with a brown sugar coconut swirl, chopped pecans, and pieces of chocolate cake.
- Brownie Batter: Fantastically fudgy, this extra creamy ice cream is chock-full of dark chocolate flavor and brownie bites.
- Dark Chocolate Cookies & Cream: There’s nothing cookie-cutter about this new dark chocolate ice cream made with dark chocolate cookie pieces and flecks of cream filling.
- Chocolate Hazelnut: Go nuts for rich chocolate with this dark chocolate ice cream with chopped hazelnuts and a hazelnut butter ribbon.
“We know Tillamook fans everywhere are crazy for the new Chocolate Collection and will go to great lengths to keep their freezers stocked with the goods – as they should,” said Kate Boltin, Vice President of Marketing at Tillamook. “Some people are kind enough to share a spoonful here or there, while others are not, and that’s OK too. Honestly, that’s why we created the Tillamook iScreen, to keep unwanted spoons out of your Tillamook ice cream, so it stays, well, yours.”
The Tillamook iScreen was developed in partnership with HELO, There You Have It 3D, and Leo Burnett.

Pete & Gerry’s Humanely Raised Eggs Expands Into Publix Stores
Pete & Gerry’s, LLC, a pioneer in humane egg farming, announced that Pete & Gerry’s Pasture-Raised Eggs will now be available in all 1,400+ Publix Super Markets throughout the Southeast. Joining Pete & Gerry’s Organic and Nellie’s Free Range eggs in the egg aisle, the Pete & Gerry’s Pasture-Raised is now on shelves in all Publix stores throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Introduced last year, Pete & Gerry’s Pasture-Raised Eggs are laid by hens raised to Certified Humane Pasture-Raised welfare standards, which provides at least 108 square feet per hen of expansive green pastures, where they can forage, explore, and socialize to their hearts’ delight. These flocks enjoy delicious, diet-enriching snacks like worms and greens while soaking up the sunshine, resulting in golden yolks, a rich, creamy flavor, and strong, sturdy eggshells.
Pasture-Raised Eggs come from hens responsibly raised on family farms, resulting in one of the healthiest, most sustainable and affordable sources of protein. Pete & Gerry’s expanded product line stems from increasing consumer demand for its existing offerings at Publix, the success of Pasture-Raised Eggs in other markets since its launch last year, and the brand’s commitment to improving access nationwide to egg products that raise industry standards.
“Our Southeast egg-lovers have embraced other Pete & Gerry’s offerings, so we’re excited consumers can now easily access the highest-quality and most delicious eggs at their nearest Publix location,” says Tom Flocco, CEO. “With an abundant selection of egg types on shelves today, it’s easy to sleepwalk through the egg aisle. The model of egg production our company pioneered almost 30 years ago, however, is not just better for the hens, but also better for the farmers and our planet.
“Our continued commitment to raising the standard of excellence for animal welfare and environmental stewardship resonates with consumers and our retail partners as we expand our footprint, empowering them to make better choices.”
Pete & Gerry’s partners with over 200 family farms spread across 14 states (from Maine to Oklahoma), providing American farmers the support to run their farms sustainably while maintaining the care and natural lifestyle hens deserve. In addition to supporting family farms throughout the country, the company is also supporting family fun this year by partnering with the Minor League Baseball for the 2024 regular season.
