Ben & Jerry’s created the ice-cream flavor Chunky Monkey.

Chunky Monkey is a Ben & Jerry’s flavor built around banana ice cream with chocolate chunks and walnuts. It became one of the brand’s recognizable combinations, reflecting the company’s practice of giving flavors distinctive names and adding substantial mix-ins.

Ben & Jerry’s was founded in Burlington, Vermont, in 1978 by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. The company became known for creative flavor names, social-issue branding, and unusually generous inclusions compared with many conventional ice creams.
