I got a phone call Friday from Zach Crantz, telling me I’d been sent a chocolate news release announcing that Magnum ice cream -- a popular brand of bars in Europe -- is coming to U.S. markets in April.

‘OK, thanks, I’ll look for it,’ I said.

I could hardly have missed it. Crantz was serious. A chocolate news release.
