Overview
Not yet ready for a scoop of Multinational Mocha? Don't worry, Ben & Jerry's is still Ben & Jerry's Homemade: A top maker of super premium ice cream (along with rival Nestlé's Häagen-Dazs). The quirky company was bought by consumer products giant Unilever in 2000 but it still marches to the beat of its own ice cream scoops on the tops of its own ice cream drums. The company sells its colorfully named ice cream, ice-cream novelties, and frozen yogurt under such monikers as Chunky Monkey, Phish Food, and Cherry Garcia. It also franchises some 580 Ben & Jerry's SCOOP SHOPS worldwide. Ben & Jerry's donates a minimum of $1.1 million of pretax profits to philanthropic causes yearly.
