Haagen-Dazs Launches Flavored Stamps

Ice-cream maker Haagen-Dazs and the Austrian Postal Service have launched a limited edition series of authentic postal stamps that featured original Häagen-Dazs artwork and flavor!

"They infused flavors like Cookies & Cream, Macadamia Nut Brittle and Strawberry Cheesecake into the adhesive on the back. As you lick the stamp, you actually tasted the flavor!"

The stamps use twelve successive original television fragments of the winning races of Ard Schenk in Sapporo (1972) and Yvonne van Gennip in Calgary (1988).
