A brand reading

Häagen-Dazs.

Lover Indulgence with intent.

The fictional Scandinavian name, the small pint, the price that makes it not-an-ordinary-grocery-purchase. Häagen-Dazs invented the premium ice cream category by taking the Lover archetype seriously: this is for adults, alone, on the couch, with intention.
