Rick visits the Chapman's factory in Markdale, ON. Look for Rick's Blueberry Pie ice cream, in support of Plan Canada's Spread the Net, in your grocer's freezer this March!
I used to work there and I hated my job mostly because it's factory work, but I can say first hand that it's a great family running it. Have a lot of respect for them because they could have moved to Toronto or somewhere else after the factory burned and reopened there and lowered wages and such. Markdale is a small town of just over 1000 people and only stays populated today because of Chapmans employment, so Chapmans saved the town of Markdale by staying there.
Actually no they couldn't. Chapmans ice cream wouldn't get off the ground in the city like they do out in the rural community area. Chapmans has the benefit of ruling with an iron fist when it comes to being one of the few only big employers in the area that has one of the highest turnover rates too cause they know they'll find someone else easy enough when anyone can do the job. The city nonetheless most want union and chapmans dont want that. many other benefits chapmans dont provide which makes it easier for them to stay in Markdale.
omg lol, you're hilarious! we bought a carton of plain chocolate last night and i left it on the counter to soften, but forgot it for an hour and it was fully melted, just a carton of sweet creamy soup. everyone was so mad at me, ugh. we've been having a major sundae craving at my house all winter, we've never bought so much ice cream. besides Chapman's, we're also loving President's Choice, tho' it's much more expensive. the pumpkin pie flavour, yum!
This is one great company - with absolutely delicious products! I've been a fan of Chapman's for years and years. After their devastating fire, and the way they 1) treated their employees and 2) have stayed totally Canadian, I love 'em even more! These are real true Canadians. I push their products all the time, b/c they are great and also b/c they show the real Canadian spirit. :-) May you triple your business and never sell out!!
And during the Pandemic when employers were giving temporary wage increases to employees for working in 'high risk' Chapman's told the employees that they were all keeping their wage increases permanently.
I can appreciate the mindset of a company that went out of their way to make sure their employees wouldn't miss paycheques when their place burnt down. Used to have this brand often when I was a young tyke living in Ont.
This is my favourite ice-cream company. They talk about the fire at 4:30 and show what a wonderful family they are. The other thing they don't talk about (though I wish they did) is that they have a nut-free line of ice-cream for people like me, nut-anaphylactics. It's one of the few ice-creams in the world that I can eat without fear of my throat closing. Thanks Chapmans.
I love blueberries as much as I love Rick Mercer, so I bought that ice cream in a flash, and wasn't disappointed. Chapman's also makes some amazing frozen yogurt.
My teacher showed my foods class this video today, and I was really invested in it all was going well until the end. Oh my god the ending. It caught me so off guard I couldn’t help but burst out laughing and I had to go to the bathroom to excuse myself for a bit. Now it’s past midnight and I can’t stop fucking laughing when he climbs out absolutely covered head to toe in melted chocolate. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard. I’ve tried to get some sleep but every single time I close my eyes my mind plays back this one scene and it always without fail makes me break out into laughter. I don’t even know if this video is real or not just because of this damn ending its so uncalled for for absolutely no reason 😭
I like how they got around that not made in Canada because of the coco crap by simply putting a maple leaf flag on their ice cream, you just know it's made here.
What bs that they can't put on the box Made in Canada because the coco comes from outside Canada. It's made in Canada! As IF all the crap that comes from china has everything supplied from china, oh wait they don't give a crap or play by same standards or even adgere to human rights as long as they sell cheap. Chapmans a true Canadian company, we know Chapmans icecream is made in Canada!
What a great statement on Canadians and our "sticktoitveness"! Chapman's is a favorite in our home! Way to go Chapman's!!! "It's like Winnipeg in here!"
I have Chapman's Salted Caramel Ice Cream in my freezer but I usually always have Chocolate Caramel Cup Ice Cream which is my favorite. You should try it, eh?
Chapman’s I’ve Cream. Best French Vanilla. Best Cookies N’ Cream. Best everything. And it is SOO good. Plus, it’s not Breyer’s where you leave it overnight and it’s still frozen with oil oozing out of it. Move over Ben & Jerry’s. I’ve got a new favourite 🇨🇦🍦❤️
I saw that video also and was shocked. The Breyer's ice cream had not melted during the entire night on a table outside of the refrigerator. During this COVID fiasco I have been buying groceries for low-income families and have never purchased Breyer's ice cream, regardless of sale price. Thanks for the reminder.
It was probably a batch of chocolate that couldn't be used for some other reason, as normally That chocolate would be hot to keep it from setting, but since Rick jumps in its obviously not.
God I miss the Mercer Report every week........................I know it was comedy, but within the jokes were some very important and direct questions to catch our MP's off guard. Their reaction to the questions said much MORE than their scripted responses to it.
To be honest, when I was a kid Chapman's was considered bargain basement ice cream. But they have improved so much they are now just as good or better than the big brands. At a MUCH MORE reasonable price. I especially like their frozen yogurt.
I think this family are a great example on how to run a company. Show me another company that would keep paying their workers while they rebuild. Yet the rabid anti vaccinators went after this company. I mean how stupid and ill informed can you get? The only good their anti Chapman campaign did was increase the sales of their ice cream and at the same time showed a level of IQ as a snail with the snail being a little smarter.
Absolutely a great company I buy chapmans when I can. Anyone else love the last little bit. Who wouldn't want to do that although I have to wonder what would happen to the chocolate involved in that bit.
OK. Now that I read it again, I meant to say "works its way OUT of the supply chain." I'm actually not enough of a Rick Mercer groupie that I'd go looking to buy products contaminated with his slobber.

Want to thank you working there ..have great day
@@СлаваУкраїні-с3л not true, it would be much more successful in the city. They have so much success in rural areas, the city would be 4x more.
I lasted 6 hours there😂 and I work at Mennonite shops
Canadian Made, Delicious, Charitable and they treat their employee's with dignity and respect. Absolutely first class. Only Ice Cream i'm buying
and on top of all that it's the most affordable ice cream of all the brands!

Tracy Graham just be happy it wasn’t still in ice cream form with oil coming out 😁🤢

Chapman family sure knows how to treat their workers, paid their workers when rebuilding their plant. The best ice cream in the world.
I will only buy Chapman's Ice cream for this very reason..................I will always support this business model.
And during the Pandemic when employers were giving temporary wage increases to employees for working in 'high risk' Chapman's told the employees that they were all keeping their wage increases permanently.
Family Run .. CANADIAN ICE CREAM .. Cares about their employee's .. I love CANADA! This was a tasty film all around!
I can appreciate the mindset of a company that went out of their way to make sure their employees wouldn't miss paycheques when their place burnt down.
Used to have this brand often when I was a young tyke living in Ont.
Heard about the antivaxxers boycot...i run 9 retirement homes...my icecteam orders will now be chapmans!!! Cheers!!

How about MANUFACTURED IN CANADA ?
Been buying Chapman's ice cream since I was a kid. Tastier than Haagen Dazs for about the same price but 4 times the amount!
I wish I could have been a member or your film crew JUST for this! I'd gain 5 kg before you managed to drag me out the door! :)
I wouldn't even fit through the door anymore. ;)
Lol, drag and greased up.. 😉
I love blueberries as much as I love Rick Mercer, so I bought that ice cream in a flash, and wasn't disappointed. Chapman's also makes some amazing frozen yogurt.
I love the peanut-free line. My 7 yr old can enjoy ice cream thanks to Chapman's. All others are "may contain" at least in our grocery store.

I like how they got around that not made in Canada because of the coco crap by simply putting a maple leaf flag on their ice cream, you just know it's made here.
If only all large Canadian businesses could be this good.
I'm actually surprised how well Chapman's bounced back and how Rick's BlackBerry was still working. Can't say that about iPhone!
not an iphone try black berry
Was in a ziploc baggie.
Who's actually eating Chapman's ice cream right now? I am! I'm having mint chocolate chip and it is gooooood!
The ice cream is delicious!! I ate it while watching the video. Yay Chapman's! Yay Rick Mercer! Yay Ice Cream!!!
Rick is the only reason, besides hockey and the Olympics, I will watch CBC.
Please send your ice cream to Alberta. I luv u long time.
Such a great Canadian company!
I think I'll go out and get some Chapmans Ice-cream.
Clay Campbell Same! Didn't know they're Canadian! :)
.
What bs that they can't put on the box Made in Canada because the coco comes from outside Canada. It's made in Canada!

I Love Chapmans ice cream it's so freckin good
So who wants Rick Mercer Blue Berry Chocolate?
This was hilarious and I love Chapman's Ice Cream!
Best ending EVER! I need to get up there and try some Chapman's!
I have Chapman's Salted Caramel Ice Cream in my freezer but I usually always have Chocolate Caramel Cup Ice Cream which is my favorite. You should try it, eh?
If chapmans every goes out of business im done with ice cream
I drove by the factory just two days ago, so I found this even funnier!
The amount of ice cream this guy wasted, a small town could have been fed somewhere in Africa. 😂
Chapman’s I’ve Cream. Best French Vanilla. Best Cookies N’ Cream. Best everything. And it is SOO good. Plus, it’s not Breyer’s where you leave it overnight and it’s still frozen with oil oozing out of it.
Move over Ben & Jerry’s. I’ve got a new favourite 🇨🇦🍦❤️
I saw that video also and was shocked. The Breyer's ice cream had not melted during the entire night on a table outside of the refrigerator. During this COVID fiasco I have been buying groceries for low-income families and have never purchased Breyer's ice cream, regardless of sale price. Thanks for the reminder.
Very funny video, I love Chapman's Ice Cream,
I wonder how many Blackberries Rick goes through each year.....
What an adorable lady she is, I love her way of thinking!
--- ICE CREAM - Ice Cream - ICE CREAM ---
- Canadian Made -
--- WATCH - Until The End - ENJOY ---
#IceCream
Regarding - SELFIES - If you are CURIOUS Watch this Video and SEE for Yourself !!!
Chapmans, nothing like real cream, real Tiger Tail.
Way to go!! Love Chapman's.
I bet this guy doesn’t have a problem with masks.
I just hope they didn't waste that chocolate just for that scene
+MILWAUKEE “JETSTREAM” MOTOR
I hope they did, or are you saying you want to eat chocolate where a man was swimming in ?
It was probably a batch of chocolate that couldn't be used for some other reason, as normally
That chocolate would be hot to keep it from setting, but since Rick jumps in its obviously not.
I would think they should be able to say Made In Canada. Its processed here. LUV CHAPMAN'S!
I LOVE Chapmans Tiger Tail ice cream. I even did an unboxing video talking about it! ua-cam.com/video/pwHdxcPz9qU/v-deo.html
God I miss the Mercer Report every week........................I know it was comedy, but within the jokes were some very important and direct questions to catch our MP's off guard. Their reaction to the questions said much MORE than their scripted responses to it.
my family likes Chapman's
Just leave me for a day at Chapman's, and you shall see no ice-cream. 😁

Love Chapman's Ice Cream - the best in the world.
I will be buying champman'd for sure.
I know what ice cream I'm sticking with!
one of the only places that make nut free ice creem
first
Was that a confined space? Was there a entry plan?
Dont worry, its only a blackberry
So is it real?
that looks like dipping in gold lol
Charlie and the "Chapman's" factory? :)
To be honest, when I was a kid Chapman's was considered bargain basement ice cream. But they have improved so much they are now just as good or better than the big brands. At a MUCH MORE reasonable price. I especially like their frozen yogurt.
Fun fun fun!!!!!
Does anyone know if it's at Save On or Safeway?
Just picked up some Blueberry Pie icecream
Pretty good stuff
Delicious !
I had Chapman's Trilogy Vanilla ice cream a week ago. WOW The absolute best.😂😅
Oops! What happened there?
3:55
omg im the 101th comment
I think this family are a great example on how to run a company. Show me another company that would keep paying their workers while they rebuild. Yet the rabid anti vaccinators went after this company. I mean how stupid and ill informed can you get? The only good their anti Chapman campaign did was increase the sales of their ice cream and at the same time showed a level of IQ as a snail with the snail being a little smarter.
The Patrick Swayze line killed me.
ua-cam.com/video/wwrHYN37yf0/v-deo.html
Not made in Canada.... That's BS
Yes it is....
Lol Absolutely The Best Value Quality Products Bar None
I love chapmans banana flavoured popsicles
Best prescription for when babies are teething!
Watching this while eating Chapman's Lolly 😀 !
One problem with that selfie
That old blackberry that they used doesn't have a front facing camera
the whole plant burned down how? oh my goodness tragedy
yeah I remember that it was awful!
I had no idea. This is now going to be my go to for icecream.
Walker Cynthia Walker David Allen Steven
Maybe Rick peed his pants a little
Absolutely a great company I buy chapmans when I can.
Anyone else love the last little bit. Who wouldn't want to do that although I have to wonder what would happen to the chocolate involved in that bit.
lol selphi epic fail love it were his phone goes in to the chocolate vat & the word hope you like chocolate that has made me laugh my head off
Erm.... gross. I think I'll avoid Chapman's for a few months and hope Rick's slobber works its way though the supply chain.
now that you put it that way lol.
OK. Now that I read it again, I meant to say "works its way OUT of the supply chain." I'm actually not enough of a Rick Mercer groupie that I'd go looking to buy products contaminated with his slobber.
CHAPMAN'S IS DEEEELICIOUS!!
i just had some walnut icecream yummm y
