==[[User:MetsBot|MetsBot]]==
'''Häagen-Dazs''' is an [[United States|American]] brand of [[ice cream]], established by [[Reuben Mattus]] in [[The Bronx]], [[New York]] in 1961. It has also become a specialty ice cream [[chain store]] which sells its own brand of ice cream at locations around the world. Häagen-Dazs produces ice cream, ice cream bars, [[sorbet]], and [[frozen yogurt]].

The ice cream comes in many different flavors and is a so-called "super-premium" brand, meaning it is quite dense (very little air is mixed in during manufacture), and has a high [[butterfat]] content. It is sold both in [[grocery store]]s and in dedicated retail outlets serving [[ice cream cone]]s, [[sundae]]s, and so on. The product is very popular.
<!--Automatic: Specify whether supervised or unsupervised -->

Contrary to common belief, the name is not [[Europe]]an; it is simply two made-up words meant to look European to American eyes. This is known in the marketing industry as [[foreign branding]] (see also [[Heavy metal umlaut]]). Mattus included an outline of [[Denmark]] on early labels to reinforce the [[Scandinavia]]n theme. (Ironically, although Häagen-Dazs operates in 54 countries around the world, none of the company's 700 stores is in any Scandinavian country.) Mattus was, however, a European immigrant to the US, originally coming from [[Poland]].
'''Function Details:''' Same as above. Very simple. [[:Category:Deaths by year]] and [[:Category:Births by year]] are meant for people, not horses. —<span style="color: red;">[[User:Mets501|M<small>ETS</small>501]] ([[User talk:Mets501|talk]])</span> 21:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
===Discussion===
The playful spelling devices in the name invoke the spelling systems used in several European countries. "ä" (''an [[Umlaut]]'') is used in the spelling of [[German language|German]], [[Finnish language|Finnish]], [[Slovak language|Slovak]] and [[Swedish language]], doubled vowel letters spell long vowels in Finnish, [[Dutch language|Dutch]], and occasionally German; and ''zs'' corresponds to {{IPA|/ʒ/}} (as in ''vision'') in [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]]. None of these spelling conventions is used in pronouncing the name of the American product, which has a short ''a'', hard ''g'', and a final ''s'' sound. The closest real name to the fake Häagen is the Danish or Norwegian Haagen or Hågen; Dazs is a possible word in Hungarian due to the "zs" grapheme, but does not resemble any real name.
