We are pleased to announce special celebrations in honor of Duke’s 10th birthday on National Cow Day on Tuesday, July 9th. Introduced in 2014, Duke the Cow has served as the Cow Tales® mascot for a decade, bringing joy with his cartoon features, goofy smile and adoration of the nostalgic treat. "We are excited to celebrate National Cow Day with our beloved customers, near and far. This year we are commemorating the day with Duke’s, our Cow Tales® mascot, 10th birthday," said Mitchell Goetze, CEO of Goetze's Candy Company. "Duke has brought our Goetze’s team and Cow Tales® fans lots of happiness over the past DUKEade. Mark this milestone birthday by snacking on some delicious Cow Tales® with a friend!” Cow Tales® are a deliciously creamy and chewy caramel treat loved by candy enthusiasts of all ages. They are made from the same secret family recipe used to make Goetze's Caramel Creams® (also known as "Bulls-Eyes®"). Cow Tales® were named in correlation with "Bulls-Eyes®," maintaining the cow theme to promote Goetze's dedication to making caramel with quality ingredients, including real milk. Original Caramel Cow Tales® were introduced by Goetze's Candy Company in 1984. To keep the name from being taken literally, Goetze's used "Tales" instead of "Tails,” alluding to whimsical and nostalgic children's stories, since this product is a more lighthearted and fun addition to Goetze's Caramel Creams® brand. Last month, the Goetze’s team, colleagues, friends and attendees of the Sweets and Snacks Expo in Indianapolis, Indiana, celebrated Duke’s birthday with a party on the showroom floor. All celebrated by tasting the newly-launched Honey Bun Cow Tales® flavor, taking pictures with the Goetze’s team and enjoying other sweet treats.
