Ben & Jerry鈥檚 has started a public campaign to try to separate from its parent company so it can freely speak about the war in #Gaza, racial justice, and other issues. Its parent company, Magnum, has refused to sell the iconic ice cream brand.
The war between the ice-cream giants comes as Ben & Jerry鈥檚 became part of the Magnum Ice Cream company on Tuesday and Unilever prepares to spin off Magnum into a separate public company, which includes brands such as Ben & Jerry鈥檚, Walls and Cornetto, in mid-November.
