About klondike
humor is no joke
We have always been known for our sense of humor. Years after that iconic jingle made us famous, we’re still trying to make people laugh. In fact, we love laughter so freakin’ much, our ethos boils down to this belief: humor is no joke. See what we did there? Whether it’s a solid dad joke, silly dance or an “anything-goes” ice cream challenge, we know that humor can be a serious tool for taking on life’s hurdles—big or small—and maybe even make the world a better place.
Getting through life’s ups and downs requires a little comic relief. So contrary to what the adults always said, clucking like a chicken for a Klondike Bar is a great idea. Trust us, we did it yesterday.
