Häagen-Dazs Fires Back at Ben & Jerry’s Over Pint Size

By sean on March 9, 2009

On our recent post Ben & Jerry’s Busts on Haagen-Dazs. Again., I wrote of the long-standing tradition of Ben & Jerry’s taking its super-premium ice cream rival to task every chance it gets.

And I also noted the irony (and the deftness) with which the Unilever-owned Ben & Jerry’s continues to play the honest hippy up against the snotty corporate rival Häagen-Dazs.

In response to Ben & Jerry’s bashing Häagen-Dazs for reducing its container size by 2 oz., the Dazs sent us this coolly composed response:

You may have seen a recent message from Ben & Jerry’s calling out our decision to downsize our Häagen-Dazs cartons.

While the reality is that size sometimes matters, we continue to believe that quality matters more.

Our ice cream is created with only a few select, simple, all-natural ingredients.

That is why we searched six years for the perfect variety of strawberry for our Häagen-Dazs strawberry ice cream and why we paid four times more over the last two years for the raspberries that make it into our Häagen-Dazs raspberry sorbet.

And we wouldn’t think of soaking the raisins for our Häagen-Dazs rum raisin ice cream even a minute less than the 60,480 minutes (42 days, actually) that they currently luxuriate in their rum baths.

Why not? Because then it just wouldn’t be Häagen-Dazs. Call us obsessive. But we’re that serious about our ice cream. We hope you’ll continue to make it your ice cream.

Thank you for giving us a chance to respond.

These guys are like two actors in a play, each playing their own role.  You gotta wonder if they get together and choreograph this stuff.
