         COOLBRANDS AGREES TO PURCHASE ICE CREAM AND DISTRIBUTION ASSETS
                            FROM DREYERS AND NESTLE

CoolBrands International Inc. (TSX: COB.A) (CoolBrands) announced today that
Integrated Brands, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, has entered into an
agreement with Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. (NNM: DRYR) (Dreyer's) and Nestle
Ice Cream Company, LLC (NICC), a subsidiary of Nestle Holdings, Inc. (Nestle),
for the sale and purchase of certain ice cream and distribution assets,
contingent upon the completion of the proposed transactions among Dreyer's, NICC
and Nestle.

Under the asset purchase agreement signed today, Dreyer's has agreed to sell to
CoolBrands the Dreamery'r' and Whole Fruit'TM' Sorbet brands and, subject to the
receipt of required third-party consents, the Godiva'r' ice cream brand. NICC
has agreed to sell its frozen dessert distribution assets in certain
metropolitan areas in the States of Washington, Oregon, Florida, California,

concerns of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) arising out of the transaction
between Dreyer's and Nestle. The parties have commenced discussions with the FTC
regarding the terms of the proposed sale to CoolBrands and will continue to work
with the FTC to reach a mutually acceptable resolution in the event that the FTC
