Fun Fact: Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream company was founded in 1978 in Burlington, Vermont, in a renovated gas station by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. Supposedly, waste from Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream company is given to local farmers in Vermont to feed to their hogs. It is said the hogs like almost all the flavors, but don't particularly care for the Mint Oreo.
