Quote:

Shares of consumer goods giant Unilever popped on Tuesday after the company announced plans to separate its ice cream unit, which includes Ben & Jerry's and Magnum, as part of a restructuring that will affect 7,500 jobs.


Oh no! What will those political activists do without their corporate crutch supporting them?

Unilever is still ultra woke, even without B&J.

Don't forget their Vaseline BLM commercial that started with "To my beautiful black baby; you will be born in a country which hates you for the color of your skin."
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

This moves seems similar to what P&G did many years ago....they spun off their food businesses and kept the chemicals. Margins in the food business are meager compared to stuff like Tide.

Ben & Jerry's was pretty "progressive" back when independent, too, weren't they?

I guess I remembered the wording of the intro somewhat incorrect (or there might be another version I can't find yet), but here is the one which still appears online. Seems like it was scrubbed from most websites.

Somebodies in supermarkets have been taking B&J products out off their usual place and putting them elsewhere on shelves deep behind other products.

There are cameras all over the place, so I guess they can't be charged with shoplifting, but maybe they could be charged wit malicious something or another. Maybe it's BLM and so it's just a protest against white privilege and not a crime since only the vanilla and peach flavors are being moved.
I think I'd watch that, like the video the girl posted licking a blue bell 1/2 gallon and putting it back. It reminds how off tracks we are.

See the link I posted a few posts up. I got the wording somewhat wrong, or there is another commercial I haven't been able to find, but yes, it exists.
