It was sometime in 1986 when one such fan was persistent enough to mail a postcard to our main office in Burlington, Vermont.
You see, back in the day, before smartphones and social media, our fans spoke to us via handwritten notes pinned to the bulletin boards at our Scoop Shops. As for the fan who sent the anonymous postcard? In fact, the first eight ice cream pints went straight to Mr. Ben & Jerry's Cherry ice cream with cherries and fudge flakes.
