Ben & Jerry’s
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield began selling their ice cream in a Burlington, Vermont gas station in 1978. The brand, known for its 1960s counterculture inspiration, became iconic in the 1980s and 1990s. Flavors were named after rock bands and celebrities. Unilever, a Dutch-British conglomerate, bought Ben & Jerry’s in 2000 for more than $326 million.
