Ben and Jerry’s Factory Tour [video]

Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream is a pretty fascinating organization. Not only do they make great tasting ice cream, but they sincerely care about the customer. Case in point: when customers write Ben and Jerry’s with a complaint, the customer is invited to their Waterbury, Vermont factory for a Ben and Jerry’s Factory Tour. This is both a gesture of goodwill and also one of education – teaching customers how ice cream is made and how much love Ben and Jerry’s put into their ice cream manufacturing.
