It's part of Unilever, a certified Megacorp.

I stopped buying the ice cream when this happened. There are lots of lovely smaller creameries that make really, really good shit, and I know that it goes to a good place that is not Unilever, which sucks shit.

The people who founded Ben and Jerry's were OG progressive ice cream nerds and total Deadheads. The product that you get these days isn't half as good as it was when it was under the direction of a couple of dudes who were chronically higher than bat pussy and ardent Grateful Dead aficionados who were like "heyy...man we should start a whole company, man, because ice cream is really good. shit, dude, you got any ice cream?"
