The Best One Yet · 🍦 “Banana Split” — Interview with Ben & Jerry’s Co-Founder Ben Cohen · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

All that needs to happen is that one person needs to say, I feel really strongly about this.

And then the other guy says, OK, you get your way.

And the other thing was that we each had a veto power.

And I don't think we ever used it.

That's amazing.

Yeah.

I mean, the biggest argument we had was about the size of the chunks.

Right.

I was the guy who wanted them really big.

Jerry was the guy making the ice cream, and it's hard to make ice cream with really big chunks.

And he also felt like if the chunks are bigger –

There weren't going to be as many of them, and sometimes people would get a spoonful of ice cream that didn't have a chunk at all, and they'd be pissed off.

It's frustrating.

I felt like they would be okay with it as long as the next spoonful had a really big one.

I think businesses that are profit-pursed are –

I think a lot of them fail.
