Dreyer Loses Truck Deathmatch To H�agen-Dazs

2008-01-03T20:44:24Z

Jay writes: "I caught these two photos on my way in to work today in San Diego. At first I just thought is was amusing that the Dreyers truck was on its side, it really is the little things in life that make it worth living. Then I saw the Haagen-Dazs ice cream truck nearby, standing in victory. Apparently Haagen-Dazs is no longer satisfied with being the superior ice cream, they must now ram their competition off the road."

You never knew the ice cream bizness was so mad gangsta, did you? This is worse than the time Vanilla Bean took out Heath Bar Crunch. Bigger picture inside...

I could totally see the Haagen-Dazs guy flashing some gang signs as he drove past. H-D 4 Life, Fools!

"Sorry, but I don't find accidents funny at all."

@Hexychick: How can I put this...

A goyishe Italian guy - who was too young to have ever witnessed the atrocities of the Holocaust first-hand - made a slapstick comedy about a Jew living in a concentration camp with his five-year-old son. The main character (played by that same goyishe Italian guy) dies at the hands of the Nazis after a life of daily torment.

This comedy won 55 awards, had instant worldwide acclaim, and was the late Pope's favorite movie.

Laugh a little.

@HRHKingFriday: Well we're all out of ice cream. We didn't expect such a rush.

That is classic! Reminds me of the overturned Campbell's soup truck that stopped traffic on 5 south for 4+ hours a few years ago.

LOL, that's a pretty funny set of pics. On a side note, I used to work for Dreyer's and they actually make the ice cream for Hagen Das.

Excuse me Mr Popken, but the word "deathmatch" is generally used as a single word. See [en.wikipedia.org] and [en.wikipedia.org]) .

@GenXCub: I'm actually more into Maggie Moo's since I tried their red velvet ice cream with chocolatey mix-ins.

Ben&Jerry's is still the best though.

I'm sure Coldstone Creamery stopped by the scene with 2 of their giant stainless steel steamed-rice-scoopers-that-they-use-for-ice-cream and made a custom flavor from both trucks.

The Haagen-Daz truck should tow the Dreyer's truck to the shop.

Haagen Dazs \o/

So there's one truck near the other with no apparent damage and we're assuming this was a death match? Worst post ever.

The Haagen-Dazs truck looks to be in good shape for plowing over another truck. And it might look like Dreyer's got owned but it turns out to be the opposite:

Dreyer's and Haagen-Dazs are both owned by Nestles so I'm sure the one truck was there to offload /salvage product from the other. Kind of ruins the story, doesn't it.

I've always imagined delivery companies having "turf wars". If a FedEx truck were to run into a UPS truck, they'd have to fight and the winner takes the other truck's packages. Then when your UPS package gets delivered by FedEx they'd tell you something like "You are with FedEx now BITCH! Don't you forget it." Ah yes, I have too much time in my hands.

They are actually the same company...my store gets Haagen-Daaz deliveries from an Edy'd / Dryer's truck weekly. The second truck was probably to unload the wrecked one.
