Ben and Jerry Launch Democrat-Inspired Ice Cream Gimmick to Take Back Congress
Quote:Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the founders of Ben & Jerry's, have teamed up with the self-proclaimed progressive group MoveOn to help Democrats take back Congress using ice cream.
In an announcement, Ben and Jerry said people need to vote for progressive congressional candidates in order to resist President Donald Trump:
We need a Democratic majority to check President Trump's unrestrained power. And we also need to send progressive champions to Congress who will fix our health care system with Medicare for All, protect clean air and water, and get big money out of politics.
To encourage voting and participation, the pair will make new ice cream flavors and flavor names, based on the candidates' campaigns, to raffle off to financially support them:
But we need your help! We need to come up with seven amazing ice cream flavors (and flavor names) that not only taste great but also capture the essence of what each candidate stands for. That's a tall order, but we know that between all of us we can make it happen. We'll select the winner and make a batch of each flavor that we'll raffle off to support the candidates.

I don't normally eat ice cream but when I do it won't be Ben and Jerry's.

Unilever could be about to shoot themselves in the face. The current CEO is also wanting to move their global headquarters from London to Rotterdam, due to being butthurt over MUH BREXIT. But the investors are pushing back.

Cortez Quarts, every customer pays for a quart but only gets a pint, the other pint goes to someone who doesn't want to pay.

You also know that none of the flavors will involve vanilla ice cream....
Probably 1 Chocolate, 1 Mocha, 1 Rainbow, 1 Pink and 1 made totally of soy.

Wouldn't chocolate and mocha be cultural assimilation and be unacceptable?

I'm not a fan of the politics that the brand adheres to, but ironically from a business point of view it isn't stupid. Anyone who wouldn't eat their ice cream because of their politics already doesn't, this is just some publicity to cater to the far left.
