.............................. Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream
Logo and Trademark..............................
Ben & Jerry's is a brand of ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, and ice cream novelty products, manufactured by Ben & Jerry's Homemade Holdings, Inc., headquartered in South Burlington, Vermont, with the main factory in Waterbury, Vermont and is owned by the conglomerate Unilever. In 1978, after completing a correspondence course on ice cream making from the Pennsylvania State University, lifelong ex-hippie friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield opened an ice cream parlour in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont. The parlour quickly became popular in the local community because of their innovative flavors, made from fresh Vermont milk and cream and "large portions of whatever ingredients they felt tasted good on the day of making!". They combined ice cream making with social activism. In April 2000, Ben & Jerry's announced its acquisition by multinational food giant Unilever. Unilever said it hopes to carry on the tradition of engaging "in these critical, global economic and social missions." In 1988, the pair won the title of "U.S Small Business Persons Of The Year," awarded to them by U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
Although the founders are still engaged with the company, they do not hold any board or management position and are not involved in day-to-day management of the company. Ben & Jerry's has collaborated with a large number of organizations, including many NGOs. Recently, the company has worked with the World Wildlife Fund and explorer Marc Cornelissen to open the Climate Change College. Its aims are to educate normal young people on the science, the politics and the campaign strategies behind climate change so that they can then produce a successful campaign of their own. Students become ambassadors for preventing global warming and do their own research in the Arctic.
An annual event, held in late April or early May, in which Ben & Jerry's scoop shops give out free ice cream cones all day. Over one million free cones are given away each year. Charitable organizations are often present at the stores each year and enjoy a significant amount of fundraising success. The first Free Cone Day was held on May 5, 1979. It was done by Ben and Jerry as a customer and staff appreciation event for the one year anniversary of their ice cream store's opening, and has continued ever since. The 29th annual Free Cone day was held on April 17, 2007, though was postponed in Blacksburg, Virginia due to the Virginia Tech Shootings.
In the Simpsons episode "Lisa Gets an "A"", Homer mentions Cherry Garcia by name, and spoof flavors are mentioned as well, including Milli Vanilla, Honey Bono, Desmond Tutti-Frutti, Candy Warhol, Xavier Nougat, and Sherbet Hoover. In addition, the blackboard gag at the beginning of the episode was "I WILL NOT SCREAM / FOR ICE CREAM."
Ben & Jerry appeared on the Colbert Report to plug their new ice cream flavor "Stephen Colbert's AmeriCone Dream" and their "grassroots education and advocacy project" TrueMajority on March 5, 2007. Also in television Ben & Jerry's was spoofed as "Jen & Berry's Frozen Yogurt and Ice Cream" in the 2006 South Park episode "Smug Alert".
In the film City Slickers, characters Ira and Barry Shalowitz are two ordinary-looking guys who are famous ice cream magnates, and may be based on Ben and Jerry. In the film Salaam Namaste, Nick who is played by Saif Ali Khan takes Ambar, played by Preity Zinta, for Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the middle of the night. Ambar has pregnancy cravings and insists on only having Ben & Jerry's 'Dark Belgian chocolate' ice cream and they drive around Melbourne looking for a Ben & Jerry's ice cream parlour that is open and finally end up going to an expensive hotel. In the film Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, Bridget jokingly says she is in a relationship with two men - "the first named Ben, the other Jerry" as she eats Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
A similar joke is used in Family Guy in which the Griffin family are watching television. Two women in the television programme are sat eating ice cream. Character A states "You are my third best friend" to Character B. Character B then asks who the first two are, to which Character A responds "Ben and Jerry.". The factory has appeared in the film Me, Myself and Irene. In yet another film, Miss Congeniality, the lead character ordered a full pint of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough while having lunch at a bar. In the TV series Twin Peaks, the Horne brothers are named Ben and Jerry; in one scene, Ben is seen eating ice cream and commenting on the ingredients. There are many Ben and Jerry's jokes and puns in the 2007 British comedy Hot Fuzz. In the medical comedy/drama, Scrubs, J.D. comments to a patient that he once got chunky monkey in his eye in the episode My Fifteen Seconds
Ben & Jerry's was the first brand-name ice cream to be taken into space aboard the Space Shuttle. Most of the cruise ships of the Royal Caribbean International have a Ben and Jerry's scoop shop on board. Ben and Jerry's struck a deal with Six Flags and have added Ben and Jerry's to parks such as Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and Six Flags New England. The pictures of the cows on Ben & Jerry's ice cream cartons were painted by Woody Jackson.
