Just call it “Benjamin & Jeremiah”.

Just call it “Benjamin & Jeremiah”

That was my first thought!

This is a stark remember that neither Connecticut (B&J) nor England (Unilever parent company) were deNazified.

Clever move. I have no idea what trademark laws are in Israel, or what the letter of international treaties say about it, but this little company got more free publicity than they could possibly buy.

They are Vermont, not Connecticut. Frankly, I don't remember running into any Nazi sympathizers growing up in Connecticut. The first one I met was in Illinois.

If you’re not selling there, there’s no infringement.

[Hodar]

One way to prevent a knock off competitor is to NOT publish a recipe book of how to make your ice cream flavors

LMAO.

This is even better than the "Nolex" watches and the "Ommy Hilfiger" merchandise I used to see street merchants peddling in New York City.

[ConservativeInPA]

Joe Biden’s new favorite Ben & Jerry’s flavor is Woke Milley Vanilli

[Spok]

If they’re not in the same market, how are they being harmed? Trademark/copyright suits usually allege injury from the sales lost to the copycat.

[Rebelbase]

I hate Illinois Nazis.

[DoughtyOne]

Can’t they just nationalize this company, and be done with it?

They want communism. I say let them have it.

I once saw a “Rolecks” at one of those street merchant stands.

As a songwriter, I am a great believer in copyright law, but my love of Israel and my loathing of left-wing antisemitism supersedes my devotion to the protection of intellectual property in this case.

Go Benjamin & Jeremiah!

here are some Flavor Ideas:

Rocky Red Sea Road
Mount Caramel
Reuben’s Raspberry
Methuselah’s Mocha
Beersheba Cream Pie

Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm

[Eleutheria5]

Too damned funny. Is that Theodore Hertzel on the package?

[Eleutheria5]

New flavors: Jeremiah Bullfrog. For good friends of yours.
12 Brothers. For family reunions.
Judean Hills. Rocky Roads for that pioneering sprit.

A friend of mine once bought an Onega for $20 in Mexico, lasted about 2 weeks. The watch repair guy said he should have bought a Timex.
