Good Humor sees sweets shortage

6/21/2012

HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- As the first heat wave of summer broiled the Northeast on Wednesday, fans of Good Humor's classic Toasted Almond Bar found a shortage of sweet relief.

Parent company Unilever PLC said a sales spike during the unusually warm spring and challenges linked to next month's closing of its Hagerstown manufacturing plant have limited its ability to supply ice cream trucks.

The British-Dutch conglomerate said the shortage should ease by the end of July.
