Klondike is an American ice cream bar brand created in Pittsburgh in 1922, a square of vanilla ice cream in a chocolate shell wrapped in foil. Its long-running advertising asked what people would do for one, a campaign that ran for decades and made the question a common phrase.
Unilever separated its ice cream business as The Magnum Ice Cream Company, whose shares were admitted to trading on Euronext Amsterdam, the London Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange on 8 December 2025. Unilever shareholders received shares in the new company as a demerger dividend, and Unilever retained a 19.9% stake at admission.
