favorite ice cream

America's favorite ice cream
Ice cream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream: the nation's best regional ice cream makers.
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - When European megalopoly Unilever swallowed up Ben & Jerry's a few years back, fans of the quirky Vermont company feared the worst.
Protests were organized and Web sites sprang up, put together by people who worried that the takeover would mean the end of American ice cream as we know it.
Turns out, they needn't have bothered.
It is true that a handful of giant companies -- including Unilever and arch-rival Nestlé -- dominate the $20 billion U.S. ice cream industry. But it's also true that the nation is awash in little guys churning out some of the best frozen treats in the land.
And Americans are eating it up. We annually consume about 6 gallons of ice cream per person -- roughly 19,200 calories, for those who are counting.
In every part of the country, regional dairies compete with the multinationals for shelf space and customers.
