YAY I LOVE THIS COMPANY, GOOD ICE CREAM TOO. And its ironic that that guy is named "Freese" TEEHEE, My dad used to be a manager at an ice cream "plant"? is that what you call them? lol
Also YAY FOR VERMONT AGAIN
Positive message sent, even though I heard Ben Cohen on the radio today, bemoaning what had become of the company under unilever, and the fact that they had not kept to the terms and he Jerry now have no control over anything they do, even though their names and faces are on the products. Still, any signs of decency are to be encouraged.
OH that's good cause I like BEN & Jerry's...
