| Tasti D-Lite More than a hundred years after frozen dessert was invented, somebody finally got it right. In 1987, the first official Tasti D-Lite serving swirled into history, and an unprecedented phenomenon came to be. With Tasti D-Lite, shape-conscious customers can enjoy a dessert with fewer calories and less fat. Today, Tasti D-Lite serves its creamy delicious, dairy dessert in more than 100 flavors to thousands of devoted customers every day. Tasti D-Lite has grown mostly by word of mouth in
response to a large customer base of raving fans who line up day and night to
get their Tasti. Thanks to unsolicited national exposure on highly rated televisions
shows such as Sex and the City and The Apprentice, interest in Tasti D-Lite has
grown from coast to coast and around the world.
Tasti D-Lite is a great choice for people who want to enjoy a healthy
and active lifestyle, without missing out on treats. With overall spending on reduced fat and
calorie products expected to top $54 billion in 2009, Tasti D-Lite also makes
