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.

[-] BilboTBaggin@lemmy.world 48 points 3 months ago

Wait, they make meatballs? I thought it was just ice cream

[-] PoopBuffet@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

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.

Bless you for doing the leg work <3

[-] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

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

Wall's Ice Cream. Good Humor in the US.

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 3 months ago

Thank you. And wow.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Towerofpain11@lemmy.world 38 points 3 months ago

In Australia I'm pretty sure it's "Streets".

Stop trying to coin that phrase, Pierce

[-] profoundninja@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Coined and minted.

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

Legit forgot the name for a second. I was frantically scrolling across Europe for a reminder.

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 19 points 3 months ago

In NNY it's called momcorp.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

On the Moon, we have Momazon.

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 14 points 3 months ago

Inmarco (Инмарко), not Algida in Russia.

But yeah, this is curious.

❤️Free market competition❤️

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

There are other brands you know...

[-] RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago
[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 9 points 3 months ago

50 shades of red

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 8 points 3 months ago

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?

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 18 points 3 months ago

IIRC, they bought out local companies, and gradually replaced their branding with the corporate standard.

[-] Bezier@suppo.fi 8 points 3 months ago

Not sure about the others, but Ingman used to be a local brand.

[-] ChilledPeppers@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago
[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 56 points 3 months ago

Unilever‘s ice cream brand has various different names in different countries.

[-] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 35 points 3 months ago

I think most of it comes from buying already established brands and then rebranding them, but keeping their name.

[-] Avg@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

That's what happened in Brazil with kibom, quality went to shit.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Same with Frisko in Denmark, except the quality remained roughly the same.

They shrinkflated the fuck out of it, though.

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 3 points 3 months ago

Well, at least they're not ISIS

[-] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 4 points 3 months ago

Do you mean it's not called "Helados Holanda"????

We found it! The one thing Belgium and Portugal have in common!

[-] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

They've also both been part of the Spanish empire at some point.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Which is also the only thing Belgium and Mexico have in common, I bet 😁

[-] edonkey@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

And netherlands :)

[-] Linnce@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Kibon in Brazil

[-] Trashcan@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

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".

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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

[-] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 4 points 3 months ago

Wall's are the worst ice cream.

Electric Callboy: Sorry! We'll rename. Austria: ...

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It says Algida on my country (correctly), but back when I was a kid it was Eskimo. It might be a false memory but I also remember Langnese for a short time, but it could have been the foreign TV channels (Pro7, RTL, Sat1).
