Frusen Gladje made the best vanilla ice cream. My mother raved about how
good Haagen Dazs was until I convinced her to try them side by side. Sadly,
Haagen Dazs threatened supermarkets that they'd pull all their products off
the shelves unless the markets stopped carrying Frusen Gladje, so Frusen
Gladje went out of business.
