How Ben and Jerry Built Their Ice Cream Empire

Weird History is going to cool off with some history about Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. Founded in Burlington, Vermont, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield were childhood friends who decided to make an ice cream business happen. And man did it ever. Ben & Jerry's has become one of the most recognizable and fan-favorite ice creams across America. Sit back with a pint of Half Baked and enjoy this delicious video.

What is your favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor?

From a $5 college elective to a billion dollar company 🤯

@6:16 "Resisting the urge to roll on the doughboy.." - Hahaha!

But seriously, great line!

I got an ad for Blue Bunny Ice Cream in the middle of this video. IRONIC!!!

I went to their ice cream factory when i was in Vermont, it was really interesting. At the time they gave each employee 5 gallons of ice cream per week so the employees wouldn't "steal" any. I thought that was a novel idea. Thanks for the video, they are always really interesting

Whoa. Honey Orange? I wish that was still a flavor -- that sounds unreal.

[JeevanNewhaven]

Man ! Hats off . Forever honoured for your greatness and not giving up, I will remember.

[MegaOrwell]

There was one flavor I absolutely loved, it was called peanut butter fudge core, but I sadly can't seem to find it anymore.

They need to bring back the original line as a special promo

I would love to see a video on the history of Buc-ee’s, it is so strange to see a gas station to have so many ready made hot foods as they do

[peggywoods]

I bought a Ben & Jerry's recipe book years ago, so I can make my own at home 😊

I'm partial to their Americone Dream myself, I get it whenever Ben & Jerry's is on sale.

[michaelturner]

I never knew they had their own public ice cream store or had deals to serve it in restaurants. I've only ever seen it in grocery stores.

[LostHope]

I’m happy that Ben and Jerry’s is able to offer their headquarters’ stolen land back to the Abenaki tribe.

This channel is single-handedly responsible for ruining my diet ...


every damn week.

@7:24 "Cold War" - Hahaha!

Those are some dramatic headlines!

[marisad]

Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ROCKS!

[maryaltshuller]

Never tried Ben & Jerry's nor Haagen Dasz. But this is interesting. While on the subject of ice cream, how about filling us in on Dairy Queen's history.

[adilsongoliveira]

The ice cream is OK (I really like Cherry Garcia) but *very* expensive here in Brazil and we have better ones locally.

Whenever its available, I like Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy ice cream. Thanks as always for new content, Weird History Food!

I would love to see a video about the history of Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes, if you can!
