... Ben and Jerry were behind the counter selling ice cream by the scoop in a little *storefront in Burlington. They were personable and funny, and their ice cream was really good.
They grew with a social awareness that was unusual for the time, but eventually, they got bought out by corporatists, who probably made them an offer they couldn't refuse. Those people, like private equity of today, borrowed their business model from the Mafia. They just have better tailors.

*Actually, it was a renovated gas station, now that I recall.
