I remember when we had Eskimo Pies - judged by the Smithsonian to be the original chocolate-covered ice cream bar -- and they were a dime. Klondike Bars came out a year or so after Eskimo Pies, but I hadn't heard of them until much later in life.

The Klondike name was an obvious attempt to steal some thunder from Eskimo Pie. The Eskimo Pie name was dropped a few years ago because it was determined that the name was derogatory to the Eskimo people.
