The Today Show Features Nightfood Award-Winning Sleep-Friendly Ice Cream as a Better Basics Fall Favorite on Thursday, October 24
Tarrytown, NY, Oct. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Nightfood, Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), the start-up ice cream company pioneering the sleep-friendly nutrition category in response to America’s $50 billion-dollar unhealthy nighttime snacking problem, is proud to announce that Nightfood ice cream was featured on The Today Show yesterday, October 24 as a “Better Basics Fall Favorite.”
The segment, which featured various unique products that are great for the fall, showed Today Show Anchors Hoda Kotb and Craig Melvin with lifestyle expert Jenn Falik. The New York based on-air personality recently discovered sleep-friendly Nightfood ice cream and included it in her picks of Fall Favorites.
In the broadcast, Falik introduced Nightfood by saying:
“It gets dark early in the fall and you want to cozy up with a pint of ice cream, this is Nightfood!” after which the anchors tasted the ice cream while Falik explained it was formulated with better sleep in mind.
During the segment, Falik identified her favorite Nightfood flavor, Bed and Breakfast, which is sleep-friendly maple ice cream with waffle chunks. The full 4-minute segment can be viewed at Today.com.
“Media and consumers have been fascinated with Nightfood since before we manufactured our first pint,” remarked CEO Sean Folkson. “We predicted Nightfood would be a media sensation during product development. We’ve had some huge publicity already this year, and I think it’s every founder’s dream to have their product featured on The Today Show. We expect this level of media coverage to continue influencing supermarket decision-makers to put Nightfood on more shelves, and driving consumer awareness.”
The recently launched ice cream line was formulated by sleep experts with the mission of providing better snacking to the millions of Americans eating ice cream on any given night. The Company describes sleep-friendly Nightfood as “Lower in sugar, less fat, and fewer calories…plus, certain minerals, digestive enzymes, and amino acids recommended by our sleep and nutrition experts. The result is a delicious ice cream that satisfies those nighttime cravings in a better, healthier, more sleep-friendly way.”
A growing number of scientific studies have recently linked sleep quality with nutritional choices. In the last few months, major consumer outlets have reported on the link between nutrition and sleep, such as Self Magazine, Livestrong, The Doctors, and MSN.
With consumers already spending over $50 billion annually on nighttime snacks, and most consumers reporting general dissatisfaction with sleep and energy levels, Nightfood management believes the nighttime-specific nutrition category has a billion-dollar future.
In addition to The Today Show, Nightfood ice cream has been featured by major outlets such as Oprah Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Washington Post, Fast Company, Fox Business News, Cheddar, Yahoo Finance, and dozens more.
