September 2, 1999

Dear Fellow Eskimo Pie Shareholder:

     The current proxy contest highlights the perennial potential for conflict
between an entrenched management's urge for self-preservation and the legitimate
interests of shareholders to get the most value for their investment.

     Yogen Fruz World-Wide Incorporated owns 587,700 shares of Eskimo Pie
Corporation at an average price of approximately $13.00 per share. That means
our investment totals approximately $7.6 million. As by far the largest
shareholder of Eskimo Pie, it is clear where our interest lies - getting $13.00
or more for our stock.

     On the other side is Eskimo Pie's Board of Directors and Management, with
hardly any of their own money invested in the Company. They say that Eskimo
Pie's business is improving, and that you should stay the course. Yet
IRI/Infoscan market data confirms sales to consumers of Eskimo Pie and Welch's
brand products - which account for more than two thirds of all Eskimo Pie
consumer products sold -- are suffering significant declines versus last year, a
fact which management has not disputed.

     In fact, the value of Eskimo Pie as a whole has declined dramatically since
it began selling shares to the public in 1992. At that time, the Company was
valued at $17.00 per share, or approximately $59 million. Based on yesterday's
closing price of $9.875 per share, the market value of Eskimo Pie was
approximately $34 million.

     Yogen Fruz is in the same industry as Eskimo Pie, and is familiar with how
frozen desserts businesses and assets are valued, bought and sold, having been a
buyer and a seller in many such transactions. We performed thorough due
diligence on Eskimo Pie, spending a week in Richmond interviewing management and
studying all of its businesses in detail, and have concluded that the sum of the
value of each asset is greater than the value of the Company as a going concern.
Thus, we believe shareholders will receive the greatest value for their
investment in Eskimo Pie by selling these assets to strategic buyers. We would
be harming no one more than ourselves to pursue this strategy if we did not
believe it could succeed.

     Our interest in asking for your proxy is solely that of a fellow
shareholder seeking to maximize value for the equal benefit of all shareholders.
To underscore this, we have agreed not to accept any fees or other compensation
for managing Eskimo Pie through the break-up process and serving on its Board of
Directors. (Currently, each Director earns fees of $10,000 per year plus $500
per meeting, plus expenses.)

     The Board of Directors has created considerable doubt as to what
shareholders may expect if the current regime is left in control of Eskimo Pie.
On the one hand, they express support for their restructuring plan - which
appears to us to consist of selling certain assets and using the proceeds to
finance expenditures on advertising and promotion in an attempt to reverse the
declines suffered by the Eskimo Pie brand. In our judgement, this flawed plan
amounts to a wasting of the Company's assets to subsidize attempts to stem the
erosion of the Company's core brand. Contrary to the Board's plan, we believe
the $9.5 million - or approximately $2.75 per share - when collected from the
sale of the flavors division should be dividended out to shareholders.




     On the other hand, the Board is seriously considering an anonymous offer to
buy the Company for $10.125 per share. Curiously, it took the Board only one day
to reject as "inadequate" Yogen Fruz's bid of $13.00 per share, while today,
more than 10 days after the $10.125 offer was announced, the Board has not
rejected this offer for almost $3.00 less per share.

     No one regrets more than Yogen Fruz the need to undertake this expensive
proxy contest. However, we would not have shouldered this burden if we did not
believe that the return would be there, for us and for all other shareholders of
Eskimo Pie.

     Please vote FOR the Yogen Fruz Proposals by signing, dating and returning
the enclosed BLUE PROXY CARD in the enclosed overnight courier package TODAY.
