The Beginning
Do you love ice cream? Do you love Ben and Jerry’s? Well guess where it’s made!
The Northeast, in Vermont! You might want to consider moving there, because that's where the headquarters where the best ice cream ever is made! Ben and Jerry’s is a great reason to move into the northeast, I definitely consider it.
Meet Ben and Jerry!
You should learn a bit more about your favorite ice cream makers, Ben & Jerry!
Ben and Jerry are both 66. They are both alive and rolling, born 4 days apart from each other, incredibly. They have a company in Vermont, where it all started.
Ben & Jerry's is an ice cream company. Ben and Jerry were childhood friends who decided to start a company together. They briefly considered bagels, but the equipment was too expensive, so they settled on ice cream. Ben got a little unsure because of his diagnosis of anosmia, which means he cannot smell, and his near hypogeusia (loss of taste.) So he made a compromise with Jerry that the ice cream would have lots of texture, and the words on the carton of ice cream would be very big so he could know what the ice cream is, even without his sense of smell.
When Did Ben & Jerry's Start?
Ben and Jerry’s started in 1978, because Ben and Jerry were best friends and wanted to start a company to raise their friendship, and of course to get some green paper in their hands, together.
Flavor Graveyard
Sometimes Ben and Jerry retire a flavor, or take it off the shelves for a few months then bring it back. They do this because sometimes it is not being sold enough, or they want people to savor and really want the flavor.
Who knows? They could be retiring one right now!!
Ben & Jerry make a flavor graveyard, it is for tributing to flavors that are retired and are no more. People get REALLY upset that they retire them. And I mean REALLY REALLY REALLY UPSET. Ben & Jerry literally put tombstones down and put names of retired flavors on there. People want to buy the flavors more when they retire them, more then when they have them in stock.
How much Ice cream do ben and Jerry sell?
Ben and Jerry sell 40+ icecream options! As I said in the last chapter, sometimes they retire flavors.. But still, they still sell great flavors such as Cherry Garcia, The Tonight Dough, and my personal favorite…
Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Core!!!!
Did Ben or jerry start the company, or did they do it together?
They did it together! But Jerry got a little concerned since Ben has anosmia, so he can’t smell. He was concerned people wouldn’t approve of a company with someone with anosmia, but obviously, they were approved, and are one of the best ice cream makers today!
I hope you visit the Northeast soon! Enjoy your gift of ice cream!
