Ben, Jerry, And The Story Of Ice Cream
Ben and Jerry are not just an ice cream brand: they’re real people: Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. And they’re great friends. Says Jerry: “I’ve just never run into a better friend to spend my life with.”
This interview with the iconic duo by WNYC in front of a live audience in their home city, Burlington, Vermont, is funny and endearing. They both grew up on Long Island, where they were both “chubby” and “nerdy kids” in middle school. Eventually they went on to open a small ice cream shop together, where they imagined a “new set of corporate values.”
Their company cares for the community, its employees, and the environment, and has set an example for food producers around the world. Later in the conversation they describe coming up with flavors and textures and the evolution of their brand.
