Out of all the marvelous ice cream brands in the world, there is one, well, in fact, there are two that particularly stand out. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, better known as Ben & Jerry’s. We know they sound like the name of a famous music duo drawn out from the 1950s. The only thing related between these two and the 1950s is that they were born in that decade. Since then, the two established with their own two hands one of the best ice cream brands in the world.
Sweet Friendship
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield grew up in Burlington, Vermont. In 1978, they joined hands, saved some money, and started their own first ice cream shop. What made them different from other ice cream shops was their theme. They would eat ice cream flavors after famous people or things they wanted and believed in. They were in for making a change.
Their Taste of Things
Ben and Jerry’s made anything possible in the ice cream world. Suddenly, phrases like Chunky Monkey or Karamel Sutra were heard everywhere, and each pint of this sweet and indulging delight became a fable with a story behind it.
They Went Social
Within no time, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream factory grew, and the duo decided to take things a little further. They didn’t just want to make ice cream. They wanted to have an impact on others and make a change in people’s lives by being active in social affairs, world climate, and minority rights. They were living proof that big things could start from very small places.
Licking Legacies
Today, Ben and Jerry’s operates in almost every country in the world. They have ice cream shops scattered all over and their delicious points can be found in many supermarkets. Ben and Jerry’s made a dream come true, and they are much more than just toppings and wafer cones. Fun fact: To this day, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Half Baked, Chunky Monkey, and Karamel Sutra are the most popular flavors around.
