Nestle(R) Drumstick(R) Introduces Two New Flavors! OAKLAND, Calif.,
Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- There's nothing more nostalgic than biting
into an original Nestle(R) Drumstick(R) sundae cone -- the
unforgettable taste of creamy Vanilla ice cream, rich chocolaty
coating, and roasted peanuts all in one mouthful. But, for those
who march to the beat of a different Drumstick, Nestle has
introduced two new Drumstick ice cream cone flavors -- Mint and
Peanut Butter Fudge. Does the choice of a Mint or Peanut Butter
Fudge cone over the original Vanilla Drumstick cone tell us
something? According to Dr. Alan Hirsch of the Smell & Taste
Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, flavor choices can
reveal some interesting personality traits. Those who reach for the
Mint Drumstick cone are loyal and dependable, devoted and true
friends or spouses. Their generous and self-sacrificing nature
makes them vulnerable and easily taken advantage of by people
around them, including those with whom they are romantically
involved. They are followers, rather than leaders, and would rather
be in the background while letting others take credit for their
hard work. Peanut Butter Fudge Drumstick cone lovers are driven,
success-oriented, natural leaders. They enjoy the triumphs and
rewards of their success and are ruthless and unforgiving
competitors. They surround themselves with only the best, both in
material possessions and people, whether it is chefs, doctors, and
even friends. Driven and aggressive in nature, they can overwhelm
those with whom they are closest. Impatient, they frustrate easily
when forced to be involved with the minor inconveniences of life,
whether it's waiting in a supermarket checkout line, for a waiter
or waitress in a restaurant, or even for the elevator doors to
open. Contrary to what one might think, those who choose Vanilla
Drumstick cones are anything but bland. They are flamboyant and
extroverted, thriving on attention and the adulation of others.
They crave novelty in all aspects of their life -- professionally,
socially and romantically. Their quest for the new and different
may cause difficulty in maintaining long-term romantic
relationships. No matter which flavor one favors, all three
Drumstick ice cream cone flavors are available nationally at
supermarkets and convenience stores in a four-pack with a suggested
retail price of $3.99. Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream Holdings, Inc., and
