I am a business librarian, so I took a look in Hoovers business database to find an answer to your question.\n\nHere is a detailed article that explains the relationship between Unilever and Ben and Jerry's:\n\nBACKGROUND\n---------------\n\nBen & Jerry's Homemade Inc. is a wholly owned, autonomous subsidiary of Unilever. The quirky ice cream maker sells its frozen novelties-including such flavors as Cherry Garcia, Chunky Monkey and Karamel Sutra-through its 230 corporate-owned and franchise "scoop shops" as well as supermarkets in 10 countries. \n\nFounders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield opened their first ice cream parlor in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, in 1978. The first franchise followed in 1981, and in 1984 the company went public. In 1985, the Ben & Jerry's Foundation was formed to give 7.5 percent of annual pretax profits to community building projects. Unilever bought the company in 2000 for $326 million. The deal allows Ben & Jerry's to continue its social missions and keep both co-founders involved. Walt Freese, who joined Ben & Jerry's in 2001, has overall responsibility for managing Ben & Jerry's marketing, international, retail operations and human resources. He reports to Eric Walsh, chairman of Unilever's North American ice cream group. \n\nTHE UNILEVER / BEN & JERRY'S CONNECTION\n-----------------------------------------\n\nWhen co-founder Cohen told The Wall Street Journal in 2000 that "quirky brands don't usually do well as part of large conglomerates," he probably echoed the fears of many in the company. But Unilever's offer was too lucrative for shareholders to turn down. Fortunately for Ben & Jerry's, Unilever-which is the world's biggest ice cream maker-isn't the most conventional outfit, either. \n\nFormed from a 1930 merger between British and Dutch companies, until recently it maintained dual chairmen in both countries. Unilever didn't want to change Ben & Jerry's culture radically. \n\n"I think everyone realized from Day One that we were not buying a typical business," Kolstad says. "If we wanted the brand to continue to grow and be vibrant, we'd have to maintain the culture that made them what they are." \n\nTo show its support for Ben & Jerry's social mission, Unilever committed at least $1.1 million a year to charitable causes selected by the employees. It also made a $5 million one-time grant to the Ben & Jerry's Foundation, a separate entity that continues to fund causes such as nonviolence training for protest groups. \n\nUnilever aroused some anxiety in November 2000 when it appointed Yves Couette, a veteran Unilever executive who previously had been posted in Mexico and India, as the new CEO. (Cohen publicly supported another candidate, longtime company director Pierre Ferrari.) \n\nBut it was six months before Couette reported for work, and that gave employees time to prepare. When he arrived in January 2001, the workforce was ready for him, Williams says. They greeted the French native in berets and dark glasses and played Edith Piaf songs on the public-address system. \n\nIn the company cafeteria, they built a replica of the Eiffel Tower from pint packages of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Behind the frivolity, there was an implicit message. \n\n"The challenge for us in the merger was to keep being who we were," Williams says. "So we had to turn up the volume, to let them experience us." \n\nThat sentiment also came across when Couette sent Ben & Jerry's employees off to a daylong meeting at a local hotel, where they went through the standard Unilever exercise of creating a "brand key." The goal was to identify the essence of the company brand and how marketing should flow from it. Ben & Jerry's workforce returned from an off-site meeting and presented Couette with a brand key called "Joy for the Belly and Soul," il

The History Of Univox\n\n\n\nI guess about the best place to begin the history of Univox is in the early 60's, with the company Unicord purchased the Amplifier Corporation of America (ACA) in Westbury, NY and marketed a series of tube amps under the name Univox. Before that Unicord was a manufacturer of electronic transformers. \n\nIn 1967 Unicord was purchased by Gulf + Western (the oil company). Around this time Unicord merged with Merson, a guitar improter that made lines like "Tempo", "Giannini" and "Hagstrom". This new company was called "Merson Musical Products, A Division of Unicord Incorporated, A Gulf + Western Systems Company", at least until Merson and Unicord spilt in 1975. In 1968 company this company was still making amps, though they were hybrid amps with tubes and transistors. \n\nAlso around 1968, the famous Hi-Flyer line was started, which continued for several years. Around this time Univox also started copying Les Pauls and the Ampeg Dan Armstrong. In 1971, Univox introduced its "Badazz", a copy of a Guild S-100. Some of these copies were actually made by Aria, which seems to have made a lot of copy guitars for other companies. Around 70-71 was when Univox changed the logo on their guitars from plastic ones to the decal under the finish. \n\nAround 1975, Univox and Merson split, but Unicord kept marketing Univox equipment for a few years after that, until about 1978. These included the old guitars and new ones, like a copy of a Rickenbacker bass and a Fender Strat. Plus, new solid state and tube amps were offered. Also in 1975 Unicord switched all its production from Westbury, NY to Japan. Apparently employees were only given a single days noticed. After that only a small crew remained to test imported amps and ship them to retailers. \n\nIn 1971, Univox also had its full array of effects for sale. Plus, they began to offer synths and computerized effects. It was at this time that Univox began its association with Korg. As the compnay released more synths, rythm machines, keyboards and other electronic equipment the Korg name showed up more and more on the products. \n\nIn 1978 Unicord stoped making the Univox line of guitars and equipment. They switched to an original line called "Westbury", which lasted until aobut 1982. Westbury amps were also made during this time. Also in 1978 Unicord started selling the exact same amps under the Stage and Univox name. The only difference between the amps was the label and color scheme. Unicord was trying to phase out the Univox name in favor of Stage. these changes came about primarily because the Univox name was seen as being "cheap" not because of the lawsuits going on over copying. Part of the image of cheapness came from the fact that Univox's designs, though solid and reliable, were simply copies of other companies work. There were few original designs at this time from Univox and no new development was being done. Even Univox's solid state amp designs were almopst 10 years old.\n\nFinally, in 1985 due to the recession, Unicord was purchased completely by Korg, pretty much ending the story there. \n\nSome other info about Univox equipment: \nUnivox guitars were built by the Matsumoko guitar factory in Japan, which were OEM suppliers to Aria, Westbury, Westone, Epiphone, Fender Japan and several other brands at the time. In 1988, a disastrous fire shut Matsumoko down for good, at which point, most of the other brands went to Korea's Samick Musical Instruments to continue production. Of course, Univox was already defunct.\n\n\nThe "Blue" series of amps were designed in America by Kenny and the late Tony Frank, the team of brothers who were in charge of service and amp mods for Unicord's OTHER amp line.....Marshall.\n\n\nALL of the early Univox keyboards were built by Crucianelli in Italy.\n\n\nAfter the G & W takeover, the person who pulled out was Bernie Mersky (hen

I actually have the 7UP Dot video game on sega genesis Im sure he will come back again. The Quick bunny is still around on the back of the Nestle Quick box but the Noid -- He was my favorite and he has disappeared and I don't see him coming back its been probably 15-20 years. He was the most entertaining of the three too. I wonder if his cold pizza shooter was too close to the ghost buster weapon and there was a law suit or something. At any rate I want them to bring back the Noid!!!
