4. But why no mint?
David Yashar ,   Jerusalem   (07.24.09)
Why is there no B&J chocolate chip mint in Israel? It's hard to find any pepermint here at all. Is this a cultural thing? In the States, chip mint is one of the most popular flavors.

Dear Ben and Jerry's, if you focus on american tourists, then also give them what they want: MINT ICE CREAM! I fyou want to test it somewhere, then test it here in the tel aviv areas....

Sam Turecki ,   Raanana Israel   (07.26.09)
If my memory serves me correctly Ben & Jerry left Israel for political reasons since they were not happy with our politics. Am I correct ? Can anyone confirm why they left If this is true who needs them now

14. Honestly, don't bother
Talula ,   Israel   (07.26.09)
There's much MUCH nicer ice-cream here. Besides, if it failed once, chances are it'll fail again. Why? it was stupidly overpriced. We are Israelis we aren't stupid. It's also not like you can't buy tubs of B&J at the local supermarket. Another Moron in charge of marketing.

(07.26.09)

Meir ,   Arad   (07.26.09)
chocolate chip mint, salt and vinegar potato chip, kraft dinner and root beer are for sure a cultural thing.
18. #4 - problem with the Kashrut in the mint flavoring?
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (07.27.09)
19. #15 - why should it make a difference.
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (07.27.09)
Most religious people I know will take any hechser. Why does everything have to be made so complicated?
20. #19 Because many have a problem with Halav Nochri.
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (07.27.09)
And abroad, that's a rather common problem.
21. Chalav Nochri isn't a 'problem'
yesh li glidah   (07.28.09)
It's a situation. Whoever it applies to, knows about it, and (should and does) check the ingredients. Why make problems where they don't exist. Unsavoury stuff on TV also not a problem . There's an 'off ' switch. Use it, and always have a good book handy.
22. Pro-Palestinian
daat y ,   jerusalem   (07.30.09)
Do they still support the 'palestinian rights 'and not Israel/
