Why they’re so Good…

• Made from grade A (the best) whole fruit purees – taste delicious like a ripe piece of fruit (no concentrates)• Creamy luscious texture, like ice cream, due to the whole fruit content (more fruit solids means less water, and less ice)• Using whole fruits retains the rich store of nutrients nature intended• Stronger nutritional profiles from the addition of a little extra vitamin A & C, plus a fiber ingredient, so each Squeezup boasts an “excellent” source of vitamins A & C, and a “good” source of fiber

This is What People Want• Sales of novelties grew 7.2 percent from ’02 to ‘07,

while "old-fashioned" ice cream sales were 3.9 percent behind 2002 levels – Why? • “Convenience and healthy eating trends drive more people to frozen novelties to satisfy cravings…health-conscious consumers look for a balance between nutrition and indulgence.” David Morris, Mintel group• “The better-for-you varieties of novelties continue to perform well, since many consumers want to have those moments of indulgence without feeling guilty. This is evidenced through the growth of portion control as well as lower fat and lower calorie offerings,” Brian Manning, VP of Brand Building, Unilever Ice Cream

Our Story• Scott Jacobson founded Jolly Llama after (too) many years (6) as a Chef: “I wanted to make the most delicious frozen treats in a healthier way, the same way things are made in high quality restaurants – use only the best possible, all natural ingredients”• So…Scott moved to LeMars, IA, lived in his parent’s basement with his girlfriend, and formulated the Squeezups in a corner of his family’s ice cream cone plant (BoDeans Baking Co.) for the whole summer of ‘08• In ’09 (very thankful to be out of LeMars) Scott got his first retail placement for the new Squeezups in Whole Foods in the Bay Area, CA; soon thereafter Jolly Llama’s distribution spread to around 300 retail stores throughout the Western US

Why “Jolly Llama?”

• Scott grew up around llama farms in Wisconsin, where he used to admire the llamas for hours as they grazed and mulled about without a seeming care in the world – they seemed such peaceful, social creatures• With this appreciation buried deep in his memory, on a day the Dalai Lama was in SanFran., the image of a smiling llama (the animal, note 2 “l’s”) connoting peace and happiness took shape in his imagination• What better name for a happy, smiling llama figure?

Why “Jolly Llama?”
