Dippin’ Dots on Monday tried to cool tensions with White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

“We’ve seen your tweets and would like to be friends rather than foes,” CEO Scott Fischer wrote in an open letter Monday. “After all, we believe in connecting the dots.”


Spicer had an extended gripe against Dippin’ Dots, according to his personal Twitter feed. In tweets in April 2010 and September 2011, Spicer declared that Dippin’ Dots wasn't “the ice cream of the future.”

And in November 2011, he seemed to celebrate the company’s problems, tweeting a Wall Street Journal report on its filing for bankruptcy — while personally distinguishing it as “Ice Cream of the Past” alongside the Journal’s original headline.

The most recent tweet on the topic from Spicer's personal handle came in September 2015. “If Dippin Dots was truly the ice cream of the future they would not have run out of vanilla,” he wrote then, copying the Washington Nationals on the tweet.

Fischer finally took notice of Spicer’s tweets Monday and extended an overture, given ice cream’s stature as one of America’s favorite treats.

“We understand that ice cream is a serious matter,” he wrote. “And running out of your favorite flavor can feel like a national emergency!”

Dippin’ Dots are made in Kentucky, and the company is “doing great,” according to Fischer, who cited double-digit growth in sales over the past three years.

“That means we’re creating jobs and opportunities. We hear that’s on your agenda too,” Fischer said. “We can even afford to treat the White House and press corps to an ice cream social. What do you say? We’ll make sure there’s plenty of all your favorite flavors.”

President Donald Trump has touted an America-first policy and met with business leaders on Monday at the White House, where he restated his pledge to slash business taxes and regulations.

As of 4:30 p.m. Monday, Spicer had yet to respond to Dippin’ Dots via Twitter on either his personal or official White House @PressSec accounts.
