Ice Cream, and their rocky road to success
Chunky Monkey. Cherry Garcia. Truffle Kerfuffle.
Legendary ice cream makers Ben & Jerry are behind some of the wackiest,
tastiest flavors we know and love. It all began when two groovy guys,
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, met when they were twelve years old. Ben
liked art, Jerry liked science, and they both loved food . . .
especially ice cream!
They started a business together, and with no idea how to actually make
ice cream, they made it happen with teamwork, determination, and an
appetite for fun and experimentation. When the doors of Ben & Jerry's
Homemade ice cream shop finally opened, crowds flocked. But the pair
would still have a rocky road ahead--and ambitious, activist goals to
fulfill.
Chock-full of facts and humor, this entertaining biography about two
hardworking partners living their Americone Dream gives readers plenty
to chew on. Through their inventiveness, passion, and activism, Ben &
Jerry dreamed of making the world a better, more delicious place--one
scoop at a time.
