We will start with a rather unusual event in Israel, in an atmosphere of unity on the occasion of the elections.
Four competing ice cream chains - Vanilla, Aldo, Deli Krim and Legenda, are launching a unique move under the slogan "There is a sense of unity".
As part of the move, all four will sell a uniform and common flavor in a limited edition.
It is about the "Malbi Pistachio" flavor that will be sold in the chains' 96 branches, although it should be noted that each chain will give this flavor its own interpretation.
The flavor will be sold in the networks from Sunday until the end of the week.
