The Iconic American Brands Are No Longer American

Ben & Jerry’s, the iconic ice cream brand, has woven itself into pop culture’s fabric, adored in numerous films and shows. Born from the dreams of friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, they launched their parlor in 1978, creating a sweet saga.

In a major shift, in 2000, Ben & Jerry’s joined Unilever’s ranks for $326 million, winning against two other contenders. This acquisition significantly enhanced Unilever’s product range, marking a new chapter in the ice cream brand’s history.
