Classic Drake’s® Funny Bones® To Return After Much Anticipation
Collegedale, Tenn (PRWEB) October 01, 2015 -- Drake’s® Funny Bones® are officially making a much anticipated return to store shelves in the Northeast. Since Drake’s® Cakes came back on the market in 2013, customers have flocked to social media sites asking for the return of Funny Bones®. Unaffiliated Facebook pages, such as “Bring Back Drake’s Cakes Funny Bones,” have also popped up in an effort to show McKee Foods just how much people want the treats back.
Funny Bones® are made with devils food cake, filled with peanut butter creme and coated in milk chocolate-flavored icing. First introduced in 1961, Funny Bones® have developed a loyal following across all age groups.
“Loyal fans of Funny Bones® told us how much they missed their favorite Drake’s® variety, and we wanted to bring it back the way they remember,” said Chip Stenberg, Drake’s® associate brand manager. “After a significant investment in state-of-the-art bakery equipment, we’re now ready to return Funny Bones® to the market.”
In September, several lucky Drake’s® Cakes Twitter fans won the opportunity to enjoy Funny Bones® before they hit store shelves. Beginning in October, Drake’s® Funny Bones® will be available in supermarkets, supercenters, value retailers and convenience stores throughout the Northeast. A product locator search function will be available to consumers at drakescake.com.
As with all Drake’s® Cakes, Funny Bones® are certified kosher by the Orthodox Union. Consumers can look for the circled “U” symbol (hechsher) on the cartons.
