Guess I have to buy Ben and Jerry's ice cream

[MalloyLiberal]

Since they endorsed Edwards

[rwheeler31]

1. oooooo it is so good. I do not think they own the company

anymore.

[Telly Savalas]

25. They're owned by the European conglomerate Unilever

But Big Evil Corporations aren't as big and evil when their marketing team maintains a branding for their products that appeals to the so-called counter-culture.

It also doesn't hurt when they make really yummy ice cream like Ben and Jerry's do.

[cascadiance]

32. Too bad they use HFCS instead of cane sugar...

I'm guessing that if Ben and Jerry were still managing the shop, we might see that.

[jgraz]

2. I salute your sacrifice

:patriot:

[kimmerspixelated]

3. My fav is The Godfather,

but all of them are good-no,great-would like to try their new peach cobbler(or something like that)!!

[Tejanocrat]

4. May I recommend

[msedano]

5. nestlé owns ben & jerry's

you know nestlé, right?
"The international boycott against Nestle is very much alive since its launch two decades ago. This boycott is still on because Nestle continues to employ unethical marketing tactics in many countries.

Nestle is one of the world's largest food manufacturers, with a turnover of U.S. $42 billion. It controls approximately 40% of the worldwide market for baby food. It influences UN systems, food legislation, market trends and company behavior more than any other food company.

Nestle's persistence in violating the World Health Organization (WHO)'s International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes was once again revealed in a four-country research commissioned by the Interagency Group on Breastfeeding Monitoring (IGBM). Entitled 'Cracking the Code', the report reveals the massive scale of company marketing malpractice."

11. "unethical marketing tactics"? Naming an ice cream after Colbert isn't THAT bad.

[Smarmie Doofus]

13. D'OH !! Stupid reality! nt

[Nite Owl]

17. Not Nestle

Unilever

http://www.unilever.com/ourbrands/cantfindit/Default.asp?letter=B&action=displayalphabet

Would rather that they had stayed independent but they seem to have pretty much left them alone.

[msedano]

34. nestle is unilever's sycophant

or the other way around.

"What does the Nestle's purchase of a majority share in Dreyer's mean for Unilever's superpremium brand Ben & Jerry's? Will Dreyer's continue to be the major distributor for Unilever's recently acquired superpremium or allow contracts to expire as happened a decade ago when Ben & Jerry's tried to go it alone in distribution? Of course, Ben & Jerry's is the most successful of Dreyer's partner brands, so there are solid revenue reasons for maintaining the relationship."

19. dupe. someone beat me to it

Ben & Jerry's rocks!

[allisonthegreat]

27. Yeah Stephen's ice cream...A true Charlestonian...n/t

[TheWraith]

6. I recommend the New York Super Fudge Chunk.

It's good if you like chocolate and nuts.

And no, I'm not going to make the joke about that flavor being an endorsement of an Obama/Gravel ticket. Shame on all of you for thinking that.

[AlCzervik]

7. no offense Americone dream and you the heroes but Willie Nelson's Country Peach Cobbler

is just the best flavor ever.

[Inspired]

8. Country Peach Cobbler? YUM! n/t

[AlCzervik]

10. it's ridiculously good, big pieces of real peaches, you need to just buy some

i swear you will be in dairy heaven.

[zabet]

18. My favorite!!! It is dairy heaven. nt

[TexasProgresive]

14. Not for me-i hate peaches

when I was a child the only time my family made ice cream was during peach season. It was always peach ice cream and I had to churn it. UGH! Later when I was in college some friends suggested we make some ice cream- I said, "No Way! I hate home made ice cream." They over ruled me and made vanilla - it was delicious and the first time I realized that home made ice cream didn't mean peach ice cream. I love Willy but you and he can eat all that peach cobbler stuff-UGH!

[AlCzervik]

16. i feel that way about Peppermint Schnapps, one bad experience and major vomit fest

made me never, ever want them again, i get a little sick to my stomach just thinking about them.

[Inspired]

20. Ha! That's how I feel about Southern Comfort! n/t

[AlCzervik]

21. it's funny isn't, one bad experience and whatever is becomes dead to you.

[Bluebear]

23. Oh good heavens that sounds gooooooood!

[philosophie_en_rose]

26. That's correct.

The shortbread and the peaches are such a delicious combination. :9

Colbert's flavor tastes stale. Frozen stale cone isn't tasty.

[AlCzervik]

28. plus it's been done before by Haagen dazs.

[gateley]

9. Congrats to Edwards..

Wish I could be more enthusiastic but Biden was in the running for this endorsement too.

You have my word, though, I won't STOP eating Ben and Jerry's!

[Catchawave]

12. I'm a Cherry Garcia fan myself :)

That was a sweet endorsement :patriot:

[goodgd_yall]

15. Yeah, you'll just have to FORCE yourself to eat it.

:D

[calteacherguy]

22. Darn it, I'll have to forgo the Cherry Garcia until after primaries. nt

[Sparkly]

24. Chunky Monkey! nt

[Beacool]

29. Not me!!

Since I'm mad at Edwards for his constant bashing of Hillary, I will go to Cold Stone before I step into my local Ben & Jerry's again!!!

[Lucinda]

30. I'd suggest One Sweet Whirrled...but I think they retired it.

:(

[liberalla]

31. as if you need an excuse to buy Ben & Jerry's

...but I am thrilled they went with Edwards!

[asdjrocky]

33. 3 favorites Ben, Jerry & Edwards. Perfect.
