At 4:30 p.m. EST, Friday January 10th, local businesswoman Grace Fortier paid $2.99 for a package of six Klondike Bars\u2122, a popular confection made of ice cream and chocolate. She then opened the package and removed a single Klondike Bar\u2122, for which she had paid approximately 49.8\u00a2.<\/p>\n
The move follows repeated cravings, and Fortier’s recent withdrawal of a $20 bill early Thursday. The bill was broken into smaller denominations by Fortier\u2019s purchase of a morning coffee drink, which also contributed to the decision to buy the Klondike Bar \u2122. \u201cI wanted it,\u201d says Fortier, \u201cand I got in my car, I drove to the convenience store, and I purchased it. To get the single bar I wanted, I also had to separate it from the five others I had bought as a set. But I was willing to do that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fortier has been known to indulge in both chocolate and ice cream individually. On this particular occasion, she used U.S. currency to purchase a combination of the two, at a price roughly similar to what one might pay for both a chocolate and an ice cream at the same time. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere is one variety of Klondike Bar\u2122 that includes nuts,\u201d said Fortier between bites of delicious Klondike Bar\u2122. \u201cBut I understood I would have to pay an extra amount for that, and I decided against it.\u201d <\/p>\n
Paul Costerman, owner-operator of SpeedyThings, was manning the cash register at the time of the transaction. \u201cShe put the [Klondike] Bar[\u2122] down on the counter, and for a second I didn\u2019t know what she would do for it. I almost asked as much, but there she was with three dollar bills and it was all I could do to put them in the drawer and return to her a single penny.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Klondike\u2122 Bar\u2122 IceCream Treat\u2122\u2122 is a trademarked property of the Unilever corporation, who secured the trademark by paying a U.S. Patent Office fee of $375, and various legal fees. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
