ben and jerry's icecream
 
i am trying to find out how much a 500ml can cost in usa of ben and jerry's icecream, can someone tell me that?

Simon 2006-07-20 12:13 PM

Well, 500ml is about a pint (US liquid measure), and Ben and Jerry's sells 6 pints for $54.95 via mail order. So taking 1/6 of $54.95 gives us about $9.16 per pint delivered here.

Hope that helps. Nearest Ben and Jerry's to here is 100 mile roundtrip so I can't give you the 'walk-in' price.

P.S. I only knew the milliliter conversion because I had to look it up for my whale cock blog post yesterday.

a pint in our local grocery (that also delivers) is about 3.00

stuveltje 2006-07-20 12:18 PM

lol thanks simon, well they sell ben and jerry's in holland here i am only nagging about the price, the price a pint (500ml) here is 5.50 euro, so say 7.30 bucks or so

Stu, get an ice cream maker machine for home use that does it all for you, and a copy of the Ben and Jerry's recipe book. That's worked for me! |thumb

The last that I heard, we actually pay a few cents per gallon more than most countries for gas, itself. The difference is in the taxes.

(Tommy, if they raised taxes on gas to where it would be close to $10 a gallon, you'd really get to see something then.. |shocking| |catfight| )

Tommy 2006-07-21 05:43 PM

I dont know if it would be as much fun if the raise in price came from taxes

I would actually love to see like a dollar a gallon tax on gas for other reasons

see sort of part of the kick i get out of it is because i know it comes from bushs failed forgin policy AND thhis and cheneys loyalties to the oil industry


see all the idiots that voted for him
really did this to themselves

I work at home and I make decent money
so i dont give a fuck if gas cost 50 bucks a gallon :-)


ya know when i was 16 or so i had a job pumping gas and
the owner was a lazy cocksucker so after a few years i was just about running the place

I dont remember what gas was back then but we made 27 cents a gallon

today.... a gas station makes like 10 cents a gallon
if you think about that, its like the worst markup for any buisness
spend 3 bucks make 10 cents

10 cents
the corner deli makes four times that on a cup of coffee

dareutwo 2006-07-21 06:03 PM

Tommy -
I agree with you on the prices. However, the mark up on gas is really low 3-5% but check out the snacks :) Just another loss leader in disguise.

Stuveltje - Ice cream is simple to make at home, and way more fun to flavor.
We don't have the auto chill model, we have to chill the bowl in the freezer kind. I can't remember but about $40 US.
The first 4-6 batches will probably suck... don't worry about it, if you can cook, you'll figure out easily how to tailor it to your family.

A quart of vanilla/bacon lasted about 10 minutes.
(and no, I had nothing to do with that one)

Hey, who the heck knows what kids will eat!

Ahh, I see... if it's from taxes it would be a failed domestic policy. The foreign policies are so messed up that people barely even notice if he screws up something domestically.

Yep, and for places with a lot of competition it can be less than 10 cents a gallon. The stations that have their prices set 5-7 cents below everyone else are REALLY hoping that you'll come in and buy some over priced gum/chips/pops/beer etc. That's also why you see so many gas stations with donut shops, or Subway stores etc in them now. In effect trying to turn the gas station into the corner deli. They have to make money some way.

well no not really

the way i see it is
gas costs the government a lot of money
pollution, roads and bridges, Medical costs, security

just think of what it costs to put a aircraft carrier off an Arabic coast

this is anther thing with gas
when oil goes up or if supplies get VERY short
the oil companies have the American military as a bargaining tool

this country will go to war to protect its supply of oil

I think that warrants a huge tax

no other industry has the government helping them negotiate their costs

Funny thing about Ben and Jerrys ice cream they were so anti corporate when they started. At those prices I would think the $$ got to them. God how much is it these days for a cow, sugar, and ice. Ice cream is basiclly all the same, ask a kid if they want good humor or B&J and most wont really care as long as they are getting it.

Cohen & Greenfield have not owned the company for several years. It is now a subsidiary of Unilever.

I love eating ice-cream!!! :)|waves|

Fonz 2006-07-27 06:14 AM

Just to make Tommy smile, we pay about 5.5 USD a gallon here. The Netherlands and UK are even worse.

Simon 2006-07-27 08:19 AM

Didn't Nostradamus say something about the antichrist being scheduled to arrive when U.S. gas prices hit 6.66 ?

JustRobert 2006-07-27 11:05 AM

Still love getting the "chunky monkey" from B&J. Now doesn't that sound porn related :)

While reading this thread our local news station just stated that Exxon just released their 2nd qtr profit of 10+ billion, the second highest return for a publicly traded company. Who has the number 1 spot? Exxon has that one as well.
