TOP PICK OF THE WEEK: Smoogy Frozen Cheesecake Sandwich
What should you do when you’re downsized from your job? Enter the TV reality show, “Supermarket Superstar,” with your family recipe: a cheesecake ice cream sandwich called Smoogy. That’s what happened to Tekisha Collins. The dream came true: she won. The prize is a distribution deal, and Smoogy cheesecake cookie ice cream sandwiches are now available at A&P, The Food Emporium, Food Basics, Pathmark, Superfresh and Waldbaums. We’ve become extremely fond of the Chocolate Fudge Smoogy, chocolate-cheesecake ice cream sandwiched between chocolate chip cookies. But the young brand needs more than a distribution deal: It needs good marketing consulting. Is it an ice cream sandwich, a frozen cheesecake cookie? Collins calls it “the first and only cake in a cookie that you eat frozen.” Huh? Where’s the cake? |

And what would you call a frozen cookie sandwich with a cheesecake-like filling? Hopefully, marketing help will come—and redo the packaging and marketing materials as well. We wish Smoogy all the luck in the world. Read the full review.
