Yum Dragon Ice Cream Launches "White Rabbit Ice Cream" - A Nostalgic Treat for Dragon Boat Festival

Honolulu, HI - June 22, 2023 - Yum Dragon Ice Cream, the innovative ice cream company known for its unique flavors, is delighted to announce the launch of its latest creation, "White Rabbit Ice Cream." Inspired by the popular White Rabbit candy, this limited-time flavor has been specially crafted for the Dragon Boat Festival, bringing a wave of nostalgia and childhood memories.

White Rabbit Ice Cream captures the essence of the beloved White Rabbit candy by blending its milky flavor into a rich ice cream base. While the ice cream does not include the iconic rice paper wrapping, we are confident that it will evoke a sense of nostalgia and transport customers back to their childhoods.

The origins of White Rabbit candy can be traced back to a now-defunct unlicensed Mickey Mouse candy business called ABC, founded by Liu Boyong, in Shanghai in 1943 during World War II. Although it was acquired by the state-owned Shanghai Guan Sheng Yuan (Group) Co., Ltd. and rebranded as White Rabbit candy, it has remained a cherished treat in China. The candy has a rich history and is proudly made in the People's Republic of China. It is particularly fitting to launch White Rabbit Ice Cream in 2023, the Year of the Rabbit according to the Chinese zodiac, which symbolizes good fortune, happiness, and peacefulness.

Richard H. Davis, the founder of Yum Dragon Ice Cream, has been working on a line of fortune cookies featuring quotations from Sun Tzu's "The Art Of War." Additionally, there are plans for fortune cookies featuring quotations from Mao Tse-tung's "Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong," commonly known as the Little Red Book. Davis believes that even fortune cookies should reflect the cultural and historical influences of China, aligning with President Xi Jinping's vision of a "rich and powerful" China. While fortune cookies traditionally featured Confucian phrases about life, Davis acknowledges the shifting societal landscape under Chairman Mao, who declared Confucianism as counterrevolutionary.

"White Rabbit candy may have been inspired by the Japanese Botan Rice Candy, which has been around since 1924. Our version of 'White Rabbit Ice Cream' is a delightful summer treat that pays homage to this iconic candy," said Richard H. Davis, founder of Yum Dragon Ice Cream.

Yum Dragon Ice Cream continues to push the boundaries of flavor innovation, offering unique and nostalgic creations that captivate customers' taste buds. The launch of "White Rabbit Ice Cream" is a testament to the company's commitment to providing unforgettable ice cream experiences.
