I think it's much more about what the collective public influenced by fear vs. greed thinks any company is worth. You have an unhinged bozo the clown CEO, the collective public gets freaked out and drives the price down.

Beats me. One of the best shows ever.

Half baked. The order has been placed. I'm so excited. I even got a 250 baht discount. Will it replace Cherry Garcia as my favorite?

Eating a whole pint is more likely to make you sleepy. It's funny not ha ha funny that a topic as innocent as yummy ice cream still brings out how divided Americans are.

Was it the butterfat?

Well it's a lot more complicated than that. They are both very major luxury brands. This article points out that Häagen-Dazs appeals to those seeking more traditional flavors while Ben and Jerry's competitive advantage is their more wildly creative one. https://www.mycatholickitchen.com/the-top-three-ice-cream-brands-ben-and-jerrys-haagen-dazs-and-nestle/ I see Häagen-Dazs as an old fuddy duddy brand Also the Nordic name is a fake corporate creation. My first luxury brand experience was Häagen-Dazs but once I had my first taste of Cherry Garcia the romance was over. Buy what you want or buy nothing. Up to you.

I'm sure many people feel that way. They directly compete as mass market luxury high butterfat brands. I'm assuming Ben and Jerry's beats them commercially though. In a way its a blessing that my "thriftiness" has prevented me from indulging in B and Js here in Thailand Nobody needs it. But it is only a matter of time before I buy a pint of Half Baked. The letdown of the Bud's pint has set the table.

Guilty pleasure

Soft serve dipped in chocolate wouldn't throw it out of bed

I don't think Thai immigration law is even remotely relevant to U.S. immigration laws. They are in totally different situations. Thailand is like or not a kind of ethno state where the national identity is dominated by Tai people and Chinese background people. Becoming a diverse society, nation of immigrants, like the USA and Canada is of no interest to Thailand. The USA on the other hand would be an aging country like Japan without a constant flow of younger immigrants bringing innovation, hard work (often slave like labor), optimism, and energy to constantly renew America. That's the ideal. The regressive republicans are trying to kill that magic, the real secret of America's success in history.

Border states are overburdened but the solution to that is not cynical stunts to play on Fox News as red meat for the republican xenophobes. The solution is comprehensive immigration reform. Something the democrats have been interested in doing for decades. But the republicans only want a political issue. God forbid they would actually work to actually solve big problems with practical solutions.

So now because of his Twitter folly, a buyer of a Tesla car is representing Musk's bizarrely toxic and divisive right wing politics. That will be a feature for many but a no go for probably many more. It's not as if his brand is a monopoly. Musk is a genius on some things, a self destructive moron on others. Oh well!

This should not surprise anyone that has been paying attention.

It's well known that it's very common for people to eat the entire pint in one sitting. Especially single people on dateless Saturday nights. When it's a chocolate flavor it's like love in a spoon. Netflix and chill with your Ben and Jerry's pint. I won't tell. It would be interesting to do a research study to know what percentage of pints are eaten that way. That's obviously unhealthy. Nobody would debate that. But you have to look at the frequency and other factors.

You don't say? You think Ben and Jerry don't know they're stuff is sold abroad? Maybe there's an Asia factory? They have one in Netherlands for Europe.

I had a Chick milk shake which was very good. They're famous for their chicken sandwiches but I haven't tried. I have also have had better ice cream than Ben and Jerry's at artisan shops. Ben and Jerry's style is a particular experience that is very popular and definitely better than Bud's. If you crave Ben and Jerry's only their brand will do it. I remember when Häagen-Dazs was the <deleted> before Ben and Jerry's hit the scene. It's also high butterfat but I don't crave that brand.

Brushing and flossing.

Maybe a Dove bar.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes that is the UK pint. It's larger than the US pint. What is fake about Ben and Jerry's ice cream?

Some Americans are still fighting the civil war. Ain't it the truth! https://www.51voa.com/VOA_Special_English/why-americans-still-fighting-the-civil-war-76356.html

A separate nation.

Lee was not fighting for America. End of.

Nobody is erasing him from history but he doesn't deserve honorifics in United States military institutions. What took them so long?

Why should Ukraine give up anything? Russia invaded them. Russia already stole Crimea. If Ukraine gives up more how can they ever trust Russia not to restart this later?
