    No kidding, I did not know that.

    More progressive hypocrisy.

    I imagine it went down like this:

    Bern: Comrade Ben, Comrade Jerry, make me a flavor that captures my dreams for America.

    It won't take very long to get them home but it won't be overnight either but Iraq says they can't stay and they are coming home just like Trump said.

    Untrue.. it is a little better than most of the big namebrands, but mostly because of the amount of toppings mixed in.

    Try and get your hands on some McConnells salted caramel chip with grass fed dairy.

    Unilever bought Breyer's too, and the situation there is even more dire. When Uniliver bought Ben & Jerry's the quality went down considerably, but it is still "ok" ice cream. But Unilever completely gutted Breyer's, whose claim to fame used to be 100% natural with only milk, cream and sugar plus vanilla bean or whatever the flavor happened to be. Unilever turned Breyer's in to total crap, cheapening the ingredients so much that Breyer's isn't even legally allowed to call themselves Ice Cream anymore! Most of their flavors are now required by law to be termed "Frozen Dairy Desert" because there isn't even enough cream for it to classify as Ice Cream. Full story here:

    http://paleoheretic.com/breyers-frozen-dairy/


    The ice cream situation is just sad now. Häagen-Dazs is still as good as it used to be and that is my go too ice cream in a pint. Turkey Hill markets a brand called "Turkey Hill All Natural" that is slightly more expensive than their regular line and tastes a lot like Breyer's did before they got bought out. There are also various regional brands that aren't bad either, but Ice Cream has gone really downhill over the past decade or so.

    Sounds like it's ex-lax flavored.

    Ben & Jerry’s new ice cream flavor is also a political statement

    On Tuesday, Ben & Jerry’s launched a new flavor, and a new voting rights campaign, to raise awareness about the involvement of “big money” in the political process.

    The new flavor, Empower Mint, is a peppermint-forward ice cream base with generous swirls of fudge and chunks of chewy brownie. It’s delicious but it also comes with a serious message.

    The Vermont-based brand also launched “Democracy is in Your Hands,” a campaign dedicated to encouraging national voter registration and educate ice cream fans on the importance of reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act.

    “We believe Democracy only works when it works for Everyone,” writes the brand.

    “But lately, it seems the challenges facing our democracy have gotten out of hand: Low income and minority voters are having their voting rights infringed upon, and money from wealthy donors is corrupting the system.”

    A portion of the proceeds from Empower Mint will benefit the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP.

    The ice cream moguls take their politics seriously. Last month, co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield were among approximately 300 people who were arrested outside the U.S. Capitol as part of protests by a group called Democracy Awakening—a movement devoted to fighting the influence of deep-pocket donors.

    Empower Mint is now available at Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops and throughout stores nationwide.

    Ben and Jerry's release statement in support of Black Lives Matter

    Social Action 3 hours ago
    The ice cream entrepreneurs published a post on their website about how systemic racism is still very prevalent today's society, and combating it is an important step toward true justice for all. The black community responded to their heartfelt message by coming up with ice cream flavors in honor of their statement.
