    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.

        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.

        I guess they mean unilever? That is the company that owns that brand at least, iirc.

      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 (RIP). 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.

    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?

      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

    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”.

      I’m assuming it’s because we don’t think our Norwegian neighbors deserve it.
