Citing years of discord with its corporate parent, Unilever, over the brand's political stances, particularly concerning Israel, Ben & Jerry's founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield are reportedly exploring the possibility of buying back their iconic ice cream company.

Cohen and Greenfield originally sold Ben & Jerry's to Unilever, the multinational consumer goods giant, in 2000 for $326 million.

Go figure.

Will Jerry and Ben continue to denounce dioxin while selling ice cream containing dioxin?
That was a good one.

They’re about as “Jewish” as Karl Marx and their favorite US politician Bernie Sanders.

A couple of self-loathing Jews, kapos to the core. Their fate will be the same as Daniel Pearl.

Must wash my eyes out after seeing half of that. Reminds me of ‘70s ads using hippies as props. Come to the honey comb hideout, Wear a mustache, It’s the real thing, etc. Horrible era for ads, and back then there was no alternative. It was on TV, the sole inlet from the outside world in those days. This B&J ad is worse than any of those ads.

Like Bernie, they only rememmber to be Jewish in a political context, while doing or saying something anti-Jewish. Dime a dozen, they.

That is quite possibly the most commercial ever made and I will never ever buy B&J’s product again.

We will never, ever buy any BJ ice cream. Not in a million years. The BJ brothers are obscene examples of self- hating Jews and pure antisemites from top to bottom.
AFAIAC, they’re sickening .

They’re trying to wreck their brand name so that the price goes down and they can buy it back cheap.

Not worth the price for the amount you get. Plus so much sugar its just not healthy for you, at all. So I’m off such calories of this kind.

I have never eaten Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, and with their self-hating attitudes, I never will. Feh!
