    Halo Top innovation turns cell phones on "Do Not Disturb" while enjoying a frozen treat

    Halo Top launches new technology

    May 11, 2026

    Halo Top is inviting ice cream lovers and digital enthusiasts alike to unplug and indulge with its latest innovation. The company introduced Halo Top’s Silent (à la) Mode Spoon, a limited-edition, tricked-out utensil designed to turn your phone on “Do Not Disturb” (DND) to enjoy sweet summer freedom notification-free.

    Blending technology with indulgence, the Silent (à la) Mode Spoon is a typical food-safe spoon that doubles as a tool that silences your phone and delivers the perfect bite-sized scoop for enjoying Halo Top ice cream, uninterrupted. The enhanced utensil features a discreet NFC (Near Field Communication) chip that simply and safely connects to your device. The chip is compatible with most smartphones, including iPhone and Android devices.

    Using the Silent (à la) Mode Spoon just requires a one-time setup with a few quick steps to achieve notification-free delight. Following the short guide provided with each spoon, add the NFC chip, which is permanently embedded in an attachment on the top of the spoon, to your phone's shortcuts list. Then, tap the spoon to your smartphone, connect, and toggle on DND mode in device settings. Feel free to dig into your Halo Top pint and enjoy a seamless “phones down, spoons up” experience.

    “We know summertime is when our fans seek moments of indulgence through simple pleasures,” said Tiffany Palermo, Senior Brand Manager, Halo Top. “A pint of Halo Top can offer that moment that satisfies your cravings, all for half the calories of the other guys and a good source of protein. The Silent (à la) Mode Spoon serves as an important reminder for us all to disconnect for a moment to indulge freely.”

    Starting May 15 at 9 a.m. ET, consumers craving the sweet summer freedom to indulge on DND can purchase their very own Silent (à la) Mode Spoon on shop.ilovewells.com for $4.90 (an homage to the 490-calorie count, by the pint, in Halo Top with Mix-Ins flavors), while supplies last.
