The Ice Cream Cone Came Via a Chance Encounter
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream would go on to become a worldwide phenomenon, expanding the market for super premium ice cream made with natural ingredients and extra butterfat. Häagen-Dazs had already carved out a significant niche in this market, but Ben & Jerry’s brought renewed attention, attracting customers with its folksy image, fun mix of ingredients and imaginative flavor names like Chubby Hubby, Cherry Garcia and Wavy Gravy.

Ben & Jerry
Both born in Brooklyn, New York, Bennett Cohen (born 1951) and Jerry Greenfield (born 1951) were lifelong friends who would go on to establish one of the most successful American ice cream brands of all time-Ben & Jerry's Homemade.
