Dear Fellow Eskimo Pie Shareholder:

     In its most recent public statement, Eskimo Pie Corporation's Board of
Directors questions whether "Yogen Fruz really believes the Company can be
broken up and sold for $15.00 per share." The real question is why would Yogen
Fruz bear the heavy burden of this expensive proxy solicitation unless we were
convinced we could do what we say? After all, despite the Board's muddying of
the waters, the fact remains that Yogen Fruz cannot make a profit on its
investment in Eskimo Pie except by selling the Company for more than $13.00 per
share.

     As usual, the Board raises obstacles to effecting a sale of Eskimo Pie,
this time even pointing to current management's golden parachutes as an obstacle
to getting the best price for its shareholders! These golden parachutes -- along
with the "poison pill" that prevents shareholders from acquiring more than 20%
of Eskimo Pie's stock -- continue to block the best deal for shareholders.
That's why its time for the current Board of Directors and management to go!

                         YOGEN FRUZ'S STRATEGY IS SOUND

o    Yogen Fruz's valuation of each asset is based on the cash flow generated by
     that asset for a synergistic buyer - after the elimination of Eskimo Pie's
     corporate overhead. Synergistic buyers will make more from these assets
     than Eskimo Pie can. That's our whole point.

o    Yogen Fruz's position that shareholders can realize at least $15.00 per
     share is after considering tax implications and the payment of the
     Company's obligations. $15.00 per share is the net return to shareholders.
     That said, it is undeniable that the return to shareholders would be
     greater without the self-serving severance obligations that have been put
     in place to protect the jobs of current management.

o    Contrary to what the Board has said, licensed business can be sold. The
     unnamed investor offering $10.125 per share is basing that offer on
     transfer of Eskimo Pie's licensed brands. And Yogen Fruz itself has in the
     past acquired similar licenses - as when its subsidiary Integrated Brands
     bought Weatherly Frozen Foods business and thereby acquired the licenses
     for the Trix, Yoplait and Betty Crocker brands from General Mills.
     Licensors have an interest in seeing their brands continue on in the most
     capable hands, and generally have no desire or ability to manufacture,
     market and distribute frozen desserts for themselves.

   WHY SHOULD YOGEN FRUZ - OR ANY OTHER SHAREHOLDER - HAVE TO BUY THE COMPANY
         IN ORDER FOR THE BOARD TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR SHAREHOLDERS?

o    In its arrogance, the Board ignores the fact that Yogen Fruz and the other
     shareholders already own the Company. We are simply fed up with the Board's
     unwillingness to do what's in the shareholders' best interest.





                         YOGEN FRUZ GAINS NOTHING UNLESS
                 SHAREHOLDERS RECEIVE MORE THAN $13.00 PER SHARE

o    Yogen Fruz will take no fees or compensation of any kind to manage the
     process of selling Eskimo Pie's assets. Our only gain will come from
     increasing the value of Eskimo Pie stock.

o    Yogen Fruz has invested $13.00 per share in Eskimo Pie because the value of
     the Company's assets supports that price. However, the Board has failed to
     realize that value for shareholders.

o    If Yogen Fruz truly believed $10.125 per share was the best price we could
     get, we would sell our stock. If we could not succeed in bringing a greater
     return to shareholders, including ourselves, why would we take on the heavy
     burden of this expensive proxy solicitation?


                  ESKIMO PIE'S CLAIM TO BE WILLING TO NEGOTIATE
                         A SALE OF THE COMPANY IS A PLOY

o    Yogen Fruz has learned the hard way that offers to negotiate by Eskimo
     Pie's Board are worthless, and that their alleged attempt to solicit an
     offer from Yogen Fruz - in the midst of a hotly contested proxy
     solicitation - was simply a ploy to confuse shareholders.

o    Yogen Fruz made numerous offers to Eskimo Pie before commencing this proxy
     solicitation as a last resort. The Board rejected every one of these offers
     - even after Yogen Fruz had agreed to Eskimo Pie's price! This is exactly
     what happened when Yogen Fruz agreed to Eskimo Pie's proposed price of $8.5
     million to purchase the Weight Watcher's business. Once Yogen Fruz agreed,
     Eskimo Pie's Board withdrew its offer. Now the Board expects shareholders
     to believe that they are unable to sell Eskimo Pie's licensed businesses.
     In fact, they are only unwilling.


                WHAT HAS ESKIMO PIE'S BOARD REALLY ACCOMPLISHED?

o    They boast of selling the flavors division for $9.5 million, but say they
     will spend this money to pay a new advertising agency to "rejuvenate" the
     Eskimo Pie brand. In other words, they will squander the money on a
     strategy that has failed since this Board took power. IRI data shows that
     the Eskimo Pie brand is suffering sales declines versus last year (as is
     Welch's). And there is no reason to believe this will turn around.

o    Eskimo Pie's revenues, earnings and shareholder value have declined
     significantly since 1994, the Board's prescription is for more of the same.
     Yogen Fruz believes shareholders have seen enough. It is time to end the
     failed strategies of current management.


                    ASK YOURSELF: IS YOUR STOCK IN ESKIMO PIE
                     WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN WHAT YOU PAID?

o    The only performance that matters is what the current Board of Directors
     and Management have done for your investment in Eskimo Pie.

o    Unlike Yogen Fruz, which is the largest shareholder and has invested $7.5
     million in Eskimo Pie, the members of the Board and management have hardly
     any money of their own invested in the Company's stock. Now, Yogen Fruz is
     stepping up to the plate to do the best thing for shareholders - because
     the current Board of Directors has failed or refused to do it for us.




         YOGEN FRUZ'S $7.5 MILLION INVESTMENT IN ESKIMO PIE ENSURES THAT
      YOGEN FRUZ IS MOTIVATED TO ACT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

o    If 10.125 per share were the best price for our stock, we would take it.

o    However, we are convinced that shareholders can receive at least $15.00 per
     share by pursuing our break-up strategy.

o    Yogen Fruz only benefits if all other shareholders benefit.
