HÄAGEN DAZS ICE CREAM: Polish Jewish immigrant Reuben Mattus started
selling Italian ices in Brooklyn with his uncle in the 1920s, when he
was a boy. Staying in the family business, he moved on to ice cream
sandwiches and bars, sold out of a wagon in the Bronx. Years later, in
1960, as head of the company, Mattus decided to produce a line of
particularly rich premium ice creams. He decided to give it a
Danish-sounding name, either because the Danes are famed for their love
of ice cream or as a tribute to the Danish Resistance heroes who saved
most of their country's Jews during World War II. He reportedly tried
out numerous supposedly Danish-like names until he hit on "Häagen-Dazs."
Early cartons of the ice cream displayed a map of Denmark, though the
words mean nothing in Danish -- which doesn't use umlauts or have the
"zs" letter combination.
