🍦💚 REMEMBER S&H GREEN STAMPS? THEY’RE BACK! 💚🍦

If you remember your mom or grandma saving those little S&H Green Stamps, filling up books and dreaming about what she was going to get from the Green Stamps catalog… this one is going to bring back some memories! 💚

S&H Green Stamps have been part of American life since 1896! At their peak, they were HUGE — millions of families collected them, the S&H reward catalog was one of the largest publications in America, and people redeemed their stamps for everything from household goods and appliances to bicycles and furniture.

At one point, about 80% of American households collected Green Stamps! 😲 They were even mentioned in movies, television shows and songs and became a true piece of American pop culture.

Well… THE GREEN STAMPS ARE BACK — with a whole new twist! 🍦💚

And we are SO excited that Mr. Twist Ice Cream is now a participating Green Stamps location!

The idea you remember is still there: shop, earn and get rewarded. But today, Green Stamps have gone digital and the program has a new purpose — helping support local businesses, local causes and YOU, the customer.

💚 EARN stamps when you make qualifying purchases at participating businesses.

🎁 SAVE & REDEEM your stamps for rewards, merchandise and experiences.

🛍️ SUPPORT LOCAL while earning something back for shopping at businesses in your own community.

No licking stamps. 😂

No little books stuffed in the kitchen drawer.

No trying to remember where you put them!

It’s all right on the Green Stamps app. 📱💚

We would LOVE to see our Mr. Twist customers get involved from the beginning. Download the app, sign up, and start earning your Green Stamps!

Some traditions are just too good to disappear. 💚

Yesterday it was stamp books.

Today it’s an app.

But the fun of saving, earning and getting rewarded is BACK!

🍦 Stop by Mr. Twist Ice Cream and start earning!

💚 EARN • SAVE • REDEEM

🛍️ SHOP LOCAL • SUPPORT LOCAL • GET REWARDED

A classic tradition with a brand-new TWIST! 🍦💚

Get Your Twist on Route 66!
