And at that time, Jerry and I went to them and we said, hey, as long as you're getting rid of the whole business, why don't you just split off Ben & Jerry's so that we can get it sold to some socially conscious investors and resolve this problem?
And Unilever refused to do that.
But we were very public about calling for socially conscious investors to come and invest in Ben & Jerry's, and some of them showed up.
And some of them made an offer or attempted to make an offer to Unilever, but they refused to engage.
You know, you can't really come up with –
an actual price that you're offering unless you see the books, unless you see the numbers.
So Unilever refused to let them see it.
And so they could only say, yeah, we're interested, but they couldn't make an actual offer.
So now some of those investors are still around.
They're still interested in buying the company when –
Magnum finally sees the light and agrees to sell it.
Well, I think it would be a lot like Ben & Jerry's 1.0.
It would have the same values.
Right now, it would be speaking out against the policies of the Trump administration.
What's going on now in the country is the biggest attack on the values of Ben and Jerry's since the company was founded.
And
Magnum has prevented the company from speaking out on those issues, has prevented the company from speaking out in support of the values that the company is based on.
And I also think that
you know, Ben and Jerry's 2.0, as you call it, that would be the proper term.
I agree with that.
