Oh, this is handy, I specifically avoid these guys.

Not for ethical reasons or anything, just I had these weird frozen meatballs from them when I was like 7 and nearly vomited myself to death in a holiday caravan's bedroom before collapsing unable to move for an hour, conscious the entire time and simply unable to make my body respond. 1/10, not reccommended.

Wait, they make meatballs? I thought it was just ice cream

[–] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Just looked it up because I too was unsure of this. There is a Wall's meats, but they are no longer related. Unilever owns Wall's ice cream but they sold off Wall's meats in 1994. The logos are different and the meats one only operates in the UK. So this map is useless for avoiding dodgy meatballs.

Bless you for doing the leg work <3

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I guess they mean unilever? That is the company that owns that brand at least, iirc.

Wall's Ice Cream. Good Humor in the US.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Thank you. And wow.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I can't remember ever having Good Humor (branded) that didn't come off of an ice cream truck back when I was a kid.

In Australia I'm pretty sure it's "Streets".

Stop trying to coin that phrase, Pierce

Coined and minted.

Everyone here saying their ice cream sucks and they never buy it, I don't think you realize Magnum and Cornetto are this brand. Those are the world's best selling ice cream brands

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I mean sure, it's not the greatest ice cream on Earth, but it's not meant to be. It's the cheapest ice cream I'm prepared to eat. If it's cheaper than Walls, it's probably not even legally allowed to be called ice cream.

I personally have to like it, since I live in the country where the company was once a part of Mjölkcentralen (RIP). Long before it was owned by Unilever.

It's 50% of the market here.

Legit forgot the name for a second. I was frantically scrolling across Europe for a reminder.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

In NNY it's called momcorp.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

On the Moon, we have Momazon.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Inmarco (Инмарко), not Algida in Russia.

But yeah, this is curious.

❤️Free market competition❤️

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

There are other brands you know...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago
[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

50 shades of red

We found it! The one thing Belgium and Portugal have in common!

[–] loaExMachina 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They've also both been part of the Spanish empire at some point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Which is also the only thing Belgium and Mexico have in common, I bet 😁

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

And netherlands :)

Unilever‘s ice cream brand has various different names in different countries.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think most of it comes from buying already established brands and then rebranding them, but keeping their name.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's what happened in Brazil with kibom, quality went to shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Same with Frisko in Denmark, except the quality remained roughly the same.

They shrinkflated the fuck out of it, though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Well, at least they're not ISIS

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Do you mean it's not called "Helados Holanda"????

Very interesting. Does anyone know if it's a case of them buying out local brands in a country, trying to make their brand sound like a local one or a mix of the two?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

IIRC, they bought out local companies, and gradually replaced their branding with the corporate standard.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Not sure about the others, but Ingman used to be a local brand.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

From what ive heard, their original name was bought when they moved to their second country so they just use whatever name, altho I have no source for that

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Kibon in Brazil

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't think I've ever seen this brand in Norway... Hennig Olsen and Diplom is have the market cornered for "ice cream on a stick".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I'm assuming it's because we don't think our Norwegian neighbors deserve it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Wall's are the worst ice cream.

It says Algida on my country (correctly), but back when I was a kid it was Eskimo. It might be a false memory but I also remember Langnese for a short time, but it could have been the foreign TV channels (Pro7, RTL, Sat1).
