MURRAY SUGAR FREE COOKIES TAKE ON CHIPS AHOY
Company Unveils the New Taste of Its Sugar Free Cookies at Event in New York's Times Square

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., June 19, 2006 — Can a sugar free chocolate chip cookie really taste as good as a regular chocolate chip cookie? MURRAY Sugar Free thinks so, and it has the research to back it up. In recent independent taste tests, consumers said that MURRAY Sugar Free Chocolate Chip cookies, which are sweetened with SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener, tasted just as good as CHIPS AHOY* Original Chocolate Chip cookies.
"The consumers in our test groups reacted very positively to MURRAY Sugar Free," said Robert N. Reitter of the market research firm Guideline. "Respondents thought the sugar free cookies tasted just as good as CHIPS AHOY."
MURRAY is so confident about the great taste of its cookies that it has launched a campaign to encourage consumers to do their own taste tests. The campaign kicked off today with an event in the heart of Times Square, where visitors to the world-famous destination were given free samples of MURRAY Sugar Free Chocolate Chip cookies. The centerpiece of the occasion was an enormous MURRAY Sugar Free cookie jar, branded with the tagline "The Proof is in the Cookie Jar," which was perched atop the Hard Rock Cafe's Times Square marquee.
MURRAY Sugar Free has developed a new recipe for its Sugar Free line using SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener — the no calorie sweetener that is made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar. By next year, the entire MURRAY Sugar Free product line (eighteen varieties in all) will be sweetened with SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener. In addition to today's launch event, MURRAY is promoting the new products sweetened with SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener with a national advertising and sampling campaign.
