Ben & Jerry's Silenced by Big Ice Cream Daddy Unilever
In a chilling twist straight from the freezer aisle drama, Greenfield reveals Vermont's beloved ice cream maker, Ben & Jerry's, has been playing mute since 2000 when Unilever, that multinational corporate behemoth, bought the frosty brand. Apparently, the scoop-shop's vocal sprinkles on social justice were silenced and sidelined for fear of upsetting Unilever’s power moguls. So much for vanilla values – the corporate giant's cold grip froze out any daring dissent. It's like hiring a vegan chef to work for a fast-food burger joint, then telling them to just keep licking the lettuce. America’s friendly neighborhood ice cream is now on corporate lockdown!

Oh, I’m sorry, did I miss the part where Ben & Jerry’s got annexed like a dairy democrat? Unilever bought ’em in 2000, then shushed the ice cream geniuses for fear of upsetting the big boss freezer. So much for scoopin’ truth to power!
So let me get this straight: Ben & Jerry’s, America’s chillest ice cream, got gagged by Unilever’s boardroom tsunamis. Like hiring a rock band and making them mime their hits. Cold irony has never been so spreadable.
Unilever bought Ben & Jerry’s in 2000 and turned its flavor politics into political flavorlessness. It's like if Willy Wonka got corporate take-over and had to swap Oompa-Loompas for spreadsheets.
