This is how the two young people met. Leon sneaks into the kitchen every night to make ice cream for Bazaar. They always talk about the past while tasting ice cream. In that era of clear distinction between respect and inferiority, they just silently buried this feeling in their hearts.
Soon after, Princess Bazaar was chosen to marry her ally Belgium. For several days, Leon couldn't see Bazaar, and he was worried. Finally, a month later, Bazaar appeared at the dinner table. However, she lost a lot of weight and looked haggard. When Leon was preparing dessert, he wrote several English letters "DOVE" on Bazaar's ice cream with hot chocolate, which is the English abbreviation of "DOYOULOVEME".
A few days later, Bazaar got married. A year later, unable to stand the torment of lovesickness, Leon left the royal kitchen.
Marriage, having children and a quiet life can't heal Lyon's deep wounds. He never forgot Bazaar, so his wife left sadly.
Since then, Leon has been single, running his candy store with his son. 1946 One day, Leon saw his son chasing an ice cream car, and the door of memory was suddenly knocked open. Leon decided to continue the research he had not completed for Bazaar in the past.
After several months of careful development, a chocolate-wrapped ice cream came out, engraved with four letters: "dove"
Dove's ice cream was well received as soon as it was launched. At this moment, Leon received a letter from Luxembourg. Leon learned that Princess Bazaar had sent someone back to China to inquire about him, hoping that he could visit her, but he learned that he had left the royal family. Due to the influence of World War II, this letter reached Leon's hand, which was a whole year and three days late.
Leon went through all the hardships and finally found Bazaar. Bazaar lay weakly in bed, and her once clear eyes became gray. Leon half knelt by her bed, tears dripping uncontrollably on the back of her pale hand. Bazaar reached out and stroked Leon's hair gently, calling Leon's name in a weak and almost inaudible voice.
Bazaar recalled that she had gone on a hunger strike and refused marriage. She was guarded for a month, and she knew that she would never escape the fate of marriage. Besides, Leon never said he loved her, let alone made any promises. In the end, she had to give in to fate, but only if she returned to the palace for afternoon tea before leaving Luxembourg, because she wanted to say goodbye to Leon for the last time there. Sad Bazaar ate the chocolate ice cream he gave her, but didn't see the melting letter.
Hearing this, Lyon burst into tears, and the misunderstanding of the past was finally answered. But it's too late. Three days later, Bazaar died.
Leon was very sad. If the hot chocolate doesn't melt, then she will know what he thinks. If that chocolate is fixed, those words will never melt. Leon decided to make a solid chocolate to keep it longer.
After painstaking research, the unique Dove chocolate was finally made, and each chocolate was firmly engraved with "Dove", which Leon used to commemorate his love with Bazaar.
There is another version of the story about pigeons, which goes like this:
One day in the 1940s, Leon, a Greek-American, saw his son chasing an ice cream truck in the street regardless of safety. Worried about his son's safety, in order to prevent him from buying an ice cream on the road, the owner of the candy store in Chicago decided to develop a high-quality chocolate ice cream.
After several months of continuous adjustment and improvement of the product formula, this high-quality chocolate ice cream born of love finally came out and was named Dove by Leon.
Ice cream is rich in cream and wrapped in mellow chocolate. It was widely praised as soon as it was introduced, and soon children and adults fell in love with Dove.
By the 1970s, more than one million doves were sold every year, and consumers who loved them flocked to them.
Soon, Dove's popularity attracted professional chocolate manufacturer M & Foods (M&; M/ Mars).
1986, M& food (M & ampM/Mars) held Dove in her arms and regarded the Dove brand born of love as the apple of her eye. After improving the purity and taste of Dove chocolate, Mars Foods introduced new flavors of chocolate such as milk chocolate and dark chocolate in 1990s. These chocolates continue to write the legend of Dove, and the popularity of Dove chocolate continues to this day.
