What I would like to also know is why Ben and Jerry's is half the price in Montana when Vermont has a factory right here.

I for one refuse to support a company that supports a genocidal regime (Israel)

Say nothing about the fact that they ripped off the recipe from the UVM Dairy Bar and then sold out to a major corporation - but then they will sit here and preach to you about how corporations are evil. Guess theyre not so evil when their money is going into your pockets, eh Jerry? Eh, Ben? Hypocrites.

I just did the price check at Ben and Jerry's for online ordering in Bozeman MT and Burlington VT. It's a ten cent difference at most, and the same price at most stores.

I'll admit I exaggerated with "half the price", but I have Berlin Price Chopper receipt dated today for Ben and Jerry's at $5.49.

I also have two receipts from (coincidentally) Bozeman, Montana from last week (visiting family): Walmart - $4.48; WinCo Foods - $4.48.

Less than double, but more than $.10 difference. Wanna see the receipts? :-)
