friendly american here - Ben & Jerry’s is one of the few US brands I support. https://www.benjerry.com/values
Too bad the CEO that actually wanted to keep the company this way was removed by Unilever
Seems like Ben & Jerry’s is one of the companies that you wouldn’t be trying to fuck over? Aren’t they politically aligned with most of the stuff that Trump is against?
The founders were some cool dudes it seemed. But at this point it just became another americanised company
It’s actually owned by a British company (Unilever) but they have been going down the pan themselves.
If they pay taxes in the US, they support the US government.
They publicly spoke out against delivering arms to Ukraine, parroting the Russian stance of blaming the west for for the war.
The Aldi version is only out during the summer, I want it year round 😔
Aren’t they owned by Unilever?
Unilever just had the CEO removed for being too much of an activist, and ‘aligning with the original owner’s views too strongly’.
Means I recently bought my last pint of this icecream, because it no longer is a company I can justify exempting from the US boycott (since, in Canada it is produced in Canadian plants, using Canadian dairy products, and was actively going against the current US leadership).
They are. And their European stock is also manufactured in the Netherlands.
Unilever is British, no? But sure even that would not be European. (I yearn for the UK to come back)
We’re still European, just not in the EU.
Still best to not support shitty companies, even if they are European. #1 example: nestle
Fuck nestle
A quick search indicated that it is.
It is also a shit company, that should be boycott if there are smaller, independent, local alternatives.
Is it any good?
