I’ve Died and Gone to Heaven
If you need an excuse to eat ice cream and I generally don’t but this will make it more fun, Ben and Jerry have come to your rescue. It’s Anti- Trump flavor.
“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.
It’s called, of course, Pecan Resist.
Now get ready for this.
The Limited Batch flavor – chocolate ice cream with white and dark fudge chunks, pecans, walnuts and fudge-covered almonds – is part of the company’s campaign to “lick injustice and champion those fighting to create a more just and equitable nation for us all,” it said Tuesday.
Look at all those nuts. And it how I like my nuts, instead of under a MAGA hat.
Profits go to charity, of course.
I thought they had gone the full route with the Cherry Garcia flavor! Bravo Ben and Jerry!
1Ms. Ms. Juanita Jean Herownself, several solutions in one!
2Love Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.
3We lived near Burlington when their first place opened, in an old garage in downtown Burlington. You would see Ben and Jerry making ice cream.
Buy the ice cream!
Try NY super fudge chunk if you like chocolate !
Penzey’s Spices ( https://www.penzeys.com) has been full on anti-Trump for more than a year now. They’ve been my go to source for bulk spices for about 10 years. I find myself buying their chili powder by the pound.
4You can’t buy it here, only in their stores or online. But New York Super Fudge Chunk is the same thing in an older carton, and it’s available all over.
5Yum, I’m buying it tomorrow!
6jfwiw, all Americone Dream profits that go to Stephen Colbert do not pass go — they get sent directly to different charities, as well.
Last year [and probably still] they’re going to Puerto Rico hurricane relief.
So, as well as this little masterpiece, any flavor that has the pic of a celebrity on it, the celebrity’s share goes, I’m betting, to a charity of some sort. [I would imagine the name of the charity is on the carton – though I don’t know that for sure, as my ice cream eating days are well in the past — and, if I take it out of the store’s freezer I’m doomed — I WILL BURY MY FACE IN IT. (My condolence prize is: I can eat bacon, sausage, any meat I want, whipped cream, SPAM fergoshsakes! and eggs — and my cholesterol and blood pressure are dropping — so there’s that.]
Still, there’s bound to be a flavor you love and love what it’s giving to. Just sayin.
