Rose Mattus with her Haagen Dazs Ice Cream Cone.

Haagen-Dazs was invented in The Bronx by Jewish Polish-American immigrants, Rose and Rueben Mattus. The couple opened their first store in Brooklyn on November 15, 1976

The name "Haagen-Dazs" is a made-up word meant to sound Danish as an acknowledgment of Denmark's exemplary treatment of Jews during WWII. The luxury ice cream brand was sold to Pillsbury in 1983 for $70M.
