Guys, I think my diet is on its way out the window!

Ben and Jerry’s, the famous American icecream brand is coming to Australia, and specifically, to Sydney in September.

WOOHOO! Ben and Jerry’s is my favouritest icecream, although I only got to eat it in the month I spent in the UK. Cookie Dough was my favourite although I hear Phish Food is where it’s at.

The official word is that supermarkets will stock tubs soon and outlets will soon open up at cinemas, with a plan for national domination within the next couple of years.

I’m not sure if it’s still the case, but I saw the real Ben and Jerry interviewed on The Colbert Report a couple of years ago and they said that the top execs of the company only ever earned 20 times the salary of the lowest-paid staff within Ben and Jerry’s. It’s a sentiment that appeals to the HR student in me and I think shows a side of companies that should be seen more often.

If you’re looking for me, I’ll be the one at the front of the queue at the official opening of the first store!
