McNess Store

July is National Ice Cream Month. (And Sunday, July 19th is National Ice Cream Day.) We have a number of ice cream companies that use our vanilla in their ice cream (even winning national taste competitions!) But we also have a contingency of people that use McNess Wonder Flavor in their ice cream instead! Wonder Flavor contains pure vanilla extract, pure orange oil, and pure lemon oil for a wonderful flavor profile that works wonderfully in ice cream! Use it 1:1 replacing vanilla in any recipe!

(I wonder if I used the words wonder/wonderful too much?)

You can call us old fashioned. Yes, we still have a catalog that we mail out. Yes, a real person still answers the phone. And yes, we have some products that have remained unchanged for over 100 years.

And of course, if you live in the U.S., you can sign up and get a free catalog sent to you. Click this link:

Merry Christmas! This is Randy from The McNess Store, Cindy and I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

We're pretty nostalgic here, that's part of the reason we took on the McNess tradition. But we're nostalgic on a personal level too. Have you seen our Christmas TV commercial? (Link below.) The cookie cutters have been in my family since I was a kid. I remember making cookies with my Mom with those almost 60 years ago. (And I'm sure the cookie cutters are older than that!) I love the fact that we were able to use those cookie cutters in our commercial.

(As a side note, my Mom is doing great and we're going to have Christmas with her in a few days. She cooks and bakes so much that we all have to make sure we don't start our diets until after going to Mom's house.)

That's our grandnephew in the commercial. His mom in the commercial is his real mom, our niece. Her Dad did the videography and editing. And that wonderful song is from a friend of ours, Mark Croft. Visit MarkCroftMusic.com to hear his music!

If you can, take a minute and tell us your favorite Christmas tradition! (And don't be afraid to upload a picture!)

And if you haven't seen it yet, here is the TV commercial...

Did you know that McNess home products were the first anywhere to have a safety seal? The brand was created with the idea of creating safer, more sanitary products. The McNess products were also the first to use a smaller, trial-sized bottle. Listen as Ned Furst shares how the company was founded...
