Casper's Ice Cream was established in 1925 by Casper Merrill (1902-1999) who made the first ice cream
sundae on a stickbars with the milk and cream of his family's milk, and these bars were the original Ice Cream Nut Sundae on a Stick which he named it as the Casco Nut Sundaes. The first bars that are known today as the Fatboy Nut Sundaes were made with 10 gallon milk can. Merrill sold these ice cream bars on a
4th of July event and he then made the first Fatboy brand sandwich which was much larger than the usual ice cream novelty. Merrill died on October 15, 1999 at the age of 96 in
Bountiful, Utah. The company is currently owned by Merrill's grandsons. Casper's Ice Cream is a member of the Utah Food Council's Utah's Own's program which was established in 2001 with the purpose of supporting and promoting local products. In October 2020, Fatboy Ice Cream sponsored
J. J. Yeley's
NASCAR racer. In the racing debut of the brand, Yeley suffered a crash. He was uninjured, but Casper's capitalized on the incident by selling pieces of the car that Yeley signed. Fatboy continued sponsoring race cars. Yeley raced in the
2020 Season Finale 500 with the Fatboy paint job. ==Products==
