The phone erupted with noise just after midnight. Ilene Hills of Healthy Appetites Natural Foods was in Florida caring for her elderly mother when she got a flood of text messages.
“I couldn’t figure out what was going on,” she recalled last week, now back at the store in Camelot Industrial Park. “My phone was going crazy!”
Then Hills read one of the messages and let out a loud whoop: “You’re on Colbert!” Healthy Appetites had just received an on-air endorsement on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and her friends were all letting her know they had seen it.
