I can’t remember ever having Good Humor (branded) that didn’t come off of an ice cream truck back when I was a kid.

In Australia I’m pretty sure it’s “Streets”.

Everyone here saying their ice cream sucks and they never buy it, I don’t think you realize Magnum and Cornetto are this brand. Those are the world’s best selling ice cream brands

I mean sure, it’s not the greatest ice cream on Earth, but it’s not meant to be. It’s the cheapest ice cream I’m prepared to eat. If it’s cheaper than Walls, it’s probably not even legally allowed to be called ice cream.

I personally have to like it, since I live in the country where the company was once a part of Mjölkcentralen. Long before it was owned by Unilever.
It’s 50% of the market here.

Much better than Nestle. Cornetto chocolate cone taste like Chocolate. Nestle chocolate taste like ice with a little milk colored brown.

Streets in Australia.

Legit forgot the name for a second. I was frantically scrolling across Europe for a reminder.

There are other brands you know…

Very interesting. Does anyone know if it’s a case of them buying out local brands in a country, trying to make their brand sound like a local one or a mix of the two?
AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 1 month ago
IIRC, they bought out local companies, and gradually replaced their branding with the corporate standard.
Bezier@suppo.fi 1 month ago
Not sure about the others, but Ingman used to be a local brand.
ChilledPeppers@lemmy.world 1 month ago
From what ive heard, their original name was bought when they moved to their second country so they just use whatever name, altho I have no source for that
Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I don’t get it.
PonyOfWar@pawb.social 1 month ago
Unilever‘s ice cream brand has various different names in different countries.
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I think most of it comes from buying already established brands and then rebranding them, but keeping their name.

Do you mean it’s not called “Helados Holanda”???

We found it! The one thing Belgium and Portugal have in common!
loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
They’ve also both been part of the Spanish empire at some point.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Which is also the only thing Belgium and Mexico have in common, I bet 😁

Wall’s are the worst ice cream.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this brand in Norway… Hennig Olsen and Diplom is have the market cornered for “ice cream on a stick”.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’m assuming it’s because we don’t think our Norwegian neighbors deserve it.

It says Algida on my country (correctly), but bach when I was a kid it was Eskimo. It might be a false memory but I also remember Langnese for a short time, but it could have been the foreign TV channels (Pro7, RTL, Sat1).

What is the advantage of having different names everywhere? You’d think sticking with a single name would be better for marketing, but I guess the symbol itself is recognizable enough.

Oh, this is handy, I specifically avoid these guys.
Not for ethical reasons or anything, just I had these weird frozen meatballs from them when I was like 7 and nearly vomited myself to death in a holiday caravan’s bedroom before collapsing unable to move for an hour, conscious the entire time and simply unable to make my body respond. 1/10, not reccommended.
BilboTBaggin@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Wait, they make meatballs? I thought it was just ice cream
PoopBuffet@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Just looked it up because I too was unsure of this. There is a Wall’s meats, but they are no longer related. Unilever owns Wall’s ice cream but they sold off Wall’s meats in 1994. The logos are different and the meats one only operates in the UK. So this map is useless for avoiding dodgy meatballs.
mumblerfish@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I guess they mean unilever? That is the company that owns that brand at least, iirc.
