Even mainstream brands like Breyers have gotten snazzier with Caramel Apple Pie and Dulce de Leche. There are small-batch creameries making exotic (and equally pricey) concoctions, from Black Out Chocolate Cake to Boston Cream Pie. “It would be easy to do, so why aren’t you doing it?”īen & Jerry’s isn’t the only flavor in town – far from it. “What’s stopping you? Go ahead - give up all your property,” Dan Crenshaw, a GOP congressman for Texas responded to the company’s call. Some have argued that Ben & Jerry’s Vermont headquarters is itself built on what it describes as “stolen” land of the Abenaki tribe - prompting questions as to whether it would give the property up and move elsewhere. As Newsweek reported, there have been suggestions that Ben & Jerry’s lead by example. The ice cream company is also having a “glass houses” moment. Was it a coincidence that this batch contained so many nuts? There are even those who likely felt that the purchase of Pecan Resist was a bold anti-Trump statement. There are probably some Ben and Jerry’s aficionados who like to drop a couple pints of social justice warrior in their cart. “The company cannot be silent in the face of President Trump’s policies that attack and attempt to roll back decades of progress on racial and gender equity, climate change, LGBTQ rights and refugee and immigrant rights – all issues that have been at the core of the company’s social mission for 40 years,” Ben & Jerry’s said in a statement. On the surface, it was just chocolate ice cream with white and dark fudge chunks, pecans, walnuts and fudge-covered almonds, but it was part of a larger agenda. Remember its 2018 Pecan Resist limited flavor?
It’s not they first time Ben & Jerry’s dished out virtue-signaling.
