Ben and Jerry Launch New Flavor Ahead of Midterms

(NEWSER) – Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s is taking a stand against what it calls the Trump administration’s regressive policies by rebranding one of its flavors Pecan Resist, the APreports. The company and its founders unveiled the limited batch ice cream flavor Pecan Resist Tuesday in Washington ahead of the midterm elections.

The company says Pecan Resist, chocolate ice cream with white and dark fudge chunks, pecans, walnuts, and fudge-covered almonds, celebrates activists who are resisting oppression, harmful environmental practices, and injustice. As part of the campaign, Ben & Jerry’s is giving $25,000 each to four activist entities: Color of Change, Honor the Earth, Women’s March, and multi-media platform Neta. The company said it “cannot be silent in the face of 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.”

  9. I’m guessing they expect me to go to the effort of personally checking every public establishment I can find, and urinating in the containers?

    A rebel’s work is never done.

    And somebody better have my bail money ready.

  16. friend of mine used to fill a cart all the time with Ben and Jerry’s…….go to the very back of the Grocery store and just walk out…..it was his way to RESIST the commie agenda and socialism they preach……he figured he had personally melted thousands of quarts himself…….

  21. how about … Loser’s Tears flavored?

    truthfully, the only people these ‘progressives’ are fooling are the idiots buying this crap … shelling out more $$$ than necessary to enrich ‘Capitalist Pigs’ … ironic, ain’t it?

  25. Well I took the gloves off awhile ago, now I’m rolling up my sleeves. I may have to fill a shopping cart up with B&J krapaloid and leave it to melt out of the cartons over in aisle 7. There…take that.

  49. @Perry: Before you do that, ponder on this: Ben and Jerry’s already have the money for the ice cream you melt, so you’re not hurting them one bit. The store has to eat the loss for the spoilage, just like they do when other things go bad. They are then forced to factor that into their prices, just like they do for shoplifting, breakage, etc.

    Bottom line: You and all the other shoppers at that store wind up paying for it.

    Just FYI.

  52. it ain’t really ‘ben and jerry’s,’ it is Unilever, the globalist food and cleaning products conglomerate. Their only interest is profit and making money.
    Pecan Re-cyst

  60. Does it come in a lactose free variety?
    Cause Ben and Jerry’s doesn’t have any yet and since this is so inclusive and all… I mean if they don’t include lactose intolerant people like me then I’m gonna cry racism. 🙁
