Dippin’ Dots CEO pens open letter to Spicer: We’d like to be ‘friends’

The CEO of Dippin’ Dots on Monday wrote an open letter to Sean Spicer saying the company would prefer to be friends with the White House press secretary instead of foes.

“We understand that ice cream is a serious matter. And running out of your favorite flavor can feel like a national emergency!” CEO Scott Fischer said in the letter.

“We’ve seen your tweets and would like to be friends rather than foes. After all, we believe in connecting the dots.”

Spicer over the past several years has posted tweets charging that Dippin’ Dots are not — as its slogan says — the “ice cream of the future.”

In a tweet he posted in September of 2015, he wrote: “If Dippin Dots was truly the ice cream of the future they would not have run out of vanilla cc @Nationals.”

Fischer noted on Monday that Dippin’ Dots are made in Kentucky by “hundreds of hard working Americans.”

“As a company, we’re doing great. We’ve enjoyed double-digit growth in sales for the past three years,” the letter said.

“That means we’re creating jobs and opportunities. We hear that’s on your agenda too.”

Fischer then made an offer to Spicer and the White House press corps.

“We can even afford to treat the White House and press corps to an ice cream social. What do you say?” he asked in the letter.

“We’ll make sure there’s plenty of all your favorite flavors.”
