I would love to meet the marketing crew at Ben and Jerry's or
whoever comes up with the names for the flavors. . . I just picked up one I'd never heard of . . .

Marsha! Marsha! Marshmallow! - Chocolate Ice Cream with Fudge Chunks & Toasted Marshmallow & Graham Cracker Swirls

YUMMM :)

I love these guys :)

1. It's kinda too bad Ben & Jerry sold out.
I felt much better about eating their ice cream before, although I still eat it from time to time.

3. Their politics are still the way I want 'em and they are still
strong supporters of various liberal causes. I'll remain a loyal customer :)

4. Yeah, but they sold to Unilever.
I'm not sure about Unilever's politics, but I do admire Ben & Jerry's.

5. New Ben&Jerry's store in Ft Worth..profits go to YWCA !
There are about a dozen Ben&Jerry's nonprofit stores across the country; it requires grant applications etc.

The new Ben/Jerry's will employ women who live at the Y (young women who have aged out of foster care, women who are in transition from endangered situations, etc.)and profits all go back to the Y for the support of these programs plus the day care center that takes care of little kids from the homeless shelters while their parents are trying to find jobs/homes/get enough money together to get into an apartment or home.

The grand opening is Friday and Saturday.

I love the names of the flavors too.

Cherries Garcia
Chunkey Monkey..

I don't think Ben and Jerry 's lost its soul, even if it was sold to Unilever
