Häagen-Dazs
Definition claims it is "A type of ice cream". It is clearly the name of an ice-cream company. No more valid then, for example, Fudgie the Whale. --Le Fondu (talk) 16:56, 29 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Needs to pass WT:BRAND (not inconceivable that it could). Equinox ◑ 16:59, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Actually, belay that, as the word easily meets WT:BRAND:


 * 2012, Debbi Rawlins, Barefoot Blue Jean Night, p. 22:
 * When she wasn't gallivanting about the globe, gathering interesting tidbits for her travel blog, she adored holing up for days at a time with a few pints of Häagen-Dazs, leaving only to go for a dip in the rooftop pool or for a workout in the building's fitness club.
 * 2007, Shiloh Walker, One of the Guys, p. 42:
 * “So you get an invitation to the wedding from hell and instead of crying or calling me or overdosing on Häagen-Dazs, or all three, you drink an entire bottle of expensive wine and cut your hair.”
 * 2006, Betty Londergan, I'm Too Sexy for My Volvo: A Mom's Guide to Staying Fabulous, p. 44:
 * Bonus! A side of liposuction with your c-section! Of course, my doctor was a big killjoy and looked at me like I was overdosing on Haagen-Dazs when I suggested it, but I thought it was a great idea.
 * 1992, James Melson, The Golden Boy, p. 194:
 * In my depression I was back gorging on two pints of Haagen Dazs a night.
 * I wager that a person who hadn't heard of the brand name would presume that Häagen-Dazs was a beer, given the references to it being consumed in pints and to people overdosing on it and then behaving oddly. These authors presume that their readers understand Häagen-Dazs to mean "ice cream". Therefore, keep. Cheers! bd2412 T 17:31, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. The cites are good (for once) and this really does get mentioned frequently without context. But let's please gloss it as a trademark. Equinox ◑ 00:18, 18 August 2012 (UTC)


 * One more citation:
 * 2007 October 25, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Season 1, Episode 5:
 * BELLE: Would you, erm, like to hang out sometime?
 * NAOMI: Does it involve shagging?
 * BELLE: No.
 * NAOMI: Does it involve eating Häagen-Dazs and watching Pretty Woman?
 * BELLE: Christ, no.
