No more phish food

RumNotRun · 2025-05-12T16:08:48+00:00

Ben & Jerry's have joined the nonsense and actually seem to support GLP 😲 Someone hasn't done their research. Thankfully the comments are overwhelming supportive of the SC judgment, but I really liked Phish food I've cream 😞

Has anyone contacted B and J and got a reply?

and just about to order some Hagen Daz icecream on my order.

Haagen Dazs US are part of Nestle, is my understanding, but HD UK are not.

Please don't anyone disabuse me of this ...

The international area outside US is held by General Mills (another US company).
https://www.generalmills.com/food-we-make/brands

In the US, it's held by Froneri, which is owned half by Nestle and half by Pai
(says Wikipedia)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A4agen-Dazs
https://www.froneri.com/brands/

anyways, despite the name, the brand is not Danish 😀

so if anyone has other (orange) reasons to boycott US products, they can add them to that list.

I love how I control the household spending on shopping absolutely so can be a terfy as I like with it, and I am. I doubt the kids or DH will notice if I buy Haagen Daz instead.

Bye bye Ben and Jerry's. Your ice cream is overly sweet anyway but I bought it because the kids wanted it. Now they won't get it. They're girls so I'm acting in their best interests so they don't have to look at a man's dick in the toilets and be told they're the ones who are in the wrong if they object to this.

Not particularly relevant but interesting piece on Unilever wanting to spin off B&J.

https://www.barrons.com/articles/ben-jerrys-unilever-multibillion-dollar-valuation-48f01dc6

Makes me wonder if they are deliberately stirring now.

LittleBitofBread · 13/05/2025 13:30

I haven't been interested in B&J since they stopped doing Cherry Garcia anyway.

NextRinny · 13/05/2025 13:27

Rights for trans but not for thee.

And thee art...

Dare b&j name them?

Lest their tongues perish from the flames of blasphemy.

Thou art...
woman.

Shudder.

Ben and Jerrys is all full of ultra processed shit anyway. I would never buy it even on offer.

Haagen dazs is the real way to go, even before all this anti-woman bullshit. Please, tell me haagen dazs isn't sponsoring drag queen story time (or something piffling like the constant erasure of women's rights and safety..) now, I would actually miss haagen dazs (not Ben and Jerrys though!) 🤔

I toured their factory in Vermont when Ben & Jerry still owned the company. The ice cream certainly wasn't full of ultra processed shit then as it was basically made just from eggs, cream & sugar.

ApocalipstickNow · 13/05/2025 06:46

Last year we had 3 ice cream vans regularly on our street.

Doesn’t add anything to the conversation, I just like remembering it.

Lovelysummerdays · 13/05/2025 06:45

I’ve no idea why good snd drink companies should have an opinion on this. Never release anything about other court decisions.

Pandering to less than 1% of the population seems like a great way to reduce market share.

Toooldforthisbollocks · 13/05/2025 06:41

Twats selling over sweet crap anyway. Best to stick to Haagen dazs.
Plus it isn’t american so that’s a barry bonus.

I do something similar -

6 bananas, sliced and frozen
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
3 tablespoons of good peanut butter

Blitzed in the food processor, it makes a very tasty sort of soft serve ice cream/chocolate pudding type thing.

There’s lots of variations on ‘what shall I do with the leftover bananas I shoved in the freezer’.

JanesLittleGirl · 12/05/2025 22:54

DH assures me that all our ice-cream comes from the farm shop. Probably true as his dad is one of their major suppliers.

ErrolTheDragon · 12/05/2025 22:06

That sounds amazing.

I tend to only do a quick cheat nowadays - keep a supply of frozen sliced leftover bananas, and blitz them with whatever yogurt or thick kefir I’ve got and either cocoa or cinnamon, and sometimes some almond butter. No UPF, no antagonistic politics, one of my 5 a day and maybe even some good bugs

Ooooh thanks for the inspiration Errol!

I'm actually eating my home-made icecream as I type: I use the base from this recipe, but instead of ginger I mixed it with peanut butter, chopped dark chocolate and pretzels.

No UPF shite, no shonky politics and no over-priced wankery.

Been boycotting them for years for naively pushing Russian propaganda narrative about Ukraine

Our house have been doing this for the same reason. Plenty of other good ice cream available.

mum2jakie · 12/05/2025 21:55

LesMisSaigon · 12/05/2025 17:50

So everyone is boycotting them?
Great, more Ben & Jerry's me then!

Knock yourself out. You know there was never any limit on the amount of ice cream you can buy don't you?

I’m going to make some chocolate ice cream, get some marshmallow fluff, dulce de leche and chocolate chunks and make my own version.

I’m going to call it Terph Food.

🤣🤣🤣

Damn. Love a cookie dough. Do they not KNOW who buys things in the supermarket?

Had the same thought.

No more Ben and Jerries for me.

Ice cream maker

Just need to find somewhere that sells little chocolate fish.

Ta! And the hazelnut looks lush.
