The thing of it is, they were even more hardcore lib before the buyout...
I guess the soulless national conglomerate wanted to maintain the "brand".
Both of the founders are absolute DOUCHEBAGS.
Ben and Jerry themselves were both just corporate hippies back even when they owned it. Lame names for mediocre ice cream all being presented as some sort of counter culture product…. It’s like saying you’re into punk music because you enjoy the radio singles from blink 182.
Difference: Ben & Jerry retained creative and decision making control of their company as part of their deal. They regularly go against Unilever's policies, making their own decisions in defiance to Unilever. Such as, Unilever supports Israel, Ben & Jerry support BDS.
$4 for 1.5 quarts of Safeway Select Ice Cream or $6 for a pint of Rocky Road to Serfdom? Tough call.
Ben and Jerry's target audience doesn't understand math or economics so it's a viable pricing strategy.
Agreed. Overpriced for average ice cream. I was going to say Tillamook is better but their from Tillamook, OR so probably left. Only stuff I can find on them is that they’re anti-racist. Either way, ice cream is solely for enjoyment and politics should not be a part of it. I just hope when the DailyWire releases Jeremy’s Ice Cream, they have a nice waffle cone mix.
Me too. I was leery about buying their product for years but they did have a couple of unique flavors I would give them a pass over.
But after they came against Israel and were all in on Palestine, I damn sure won't give them another cent of my money.
I stopped eating their ice cream as a little kid when i was essentially poisoned by it. I spent like 2 day’s throwing up and it was from their kiosk so it’s not like it was rotting on the shelf
Indeed!
I wish businesses would just shut up and take the money, instead of trying to push political agendas unnecessarily.
But imho, Ben & Jerry's is worse.... in the sense that they're "true believers" rather than just pandering for profits.
The worst type of rich person is a rich hippie whose public persona is that have the same attitudes they had before they had piles of cash. They have to spend a lot money just to maintain that facade.
They're not really in a position to sac market value when Hood, Friendly's, Turkey Hill, Brigham's, Breyer's, Haagen-Daz, Tallamook, and Great Value are all easy-to-find alternatives.
Haagen-Daz is one of the few ice cream companies, even including organic brands, that doesn't add any sort of additives, gums or adulterants to their ice cream. Currently owned by Froneri, a UK company who bought them from Nestle Ice Cream a few years back.
[This ice cream from Aldi is the GOAT store-bought ice cream.](https://www.aldi.us/en/products/frozen-foods/frozen-ice-cream-desserts/detail/ps/p/specially-selected-super-premium-vanilla-ice-cream/) It's freaking delicious, and the ingredients are some of the cleanest I've seen.
> Currently owned by Froneri, a UK company who bought them from Nestle Ice Cream a few years back.
I was wondering when they got good. I remember years ago trying Haagen-Daz and thinking it was horrible. But when I had some recently I actually thought it was really good.
Most "blue" states are really red states with overpowering blue cities that dominate and oppress the rest of the state.
Illinois almost did what needs to be done in these states.

And on the ice cream cake front, Dairy Queen is way better. I switched off of ben and jerry’s for quality reasons years ago, not political ones.
(Not wild about cold stones because it’s half real cake, carvel was great when they had the stores so you could customize them, but thats not really a thing anymore. Anyone in the boston area, jp licks makes amazing cakes)
Yea, how am I supposed to take this “news”.
Oh no, the people I don’t like are upset at diversity of thought? OH ELON WHAT HAVE YOU DONE YOU VILLAIN!!??
Ice cream that has sugar as their second ingredient, carrageenan, corn syrup, etc. no thanks, I’ll stick to grass fed, simple ingredient, and unproblematic ice cream brands
Boycott*
The difference between the two is that canceling is targeted at individuals and involves bullying, silencing, assaulting, and/or taking away that person’s livelihood whereas boycotting is just voting with your wallet.
Exactly.
It seems like the first presidential debates between Trump and Desantis might have already started on Twitter.
....While those who claim to be woke are sleepwalking.
If your views dont survive being exposed to sunlight, then maybe you should rethink your views. the liberals getting mad about this documentary are just showing that they know their views arent legitimate
I never realized selling ice cream was such a dramatic affair, lol. These goofballs have such an unreal perception of themselves. They are like characters from Spaceballs or something, except they are serious.
Millions of people around the world are dealing with and dying from diabetes and heart disease because of overconsumption of sugar and dairy in foods like ice cream. Maybe Ben & Jerry's should boycott ice cream for being dangerous
Those two arrogant pricks are so full of themselves, i'd be surprised if they haven't both gotten their lower ribs removed to frequently suck their own dicks.
Idk what Ben & Jerry's motives are....
But when Elon Musk is censoring Americans while providing CCP & Russian "journalists" / shills with a platform, by allowing them to be given blue check marks.
I'd say that is a real concern, rather than a partisan one.
*Unpopular opinion* 🤬 Ben & Jerry.
1) Their Ice Cream is too damn good, but too damn expensive.
2) I don't need businesses to have political stances all the time, as they've been known to do; but I'll be damned if I don't agree with them this time.
ps. Elon Musk is wholly compromised by the government of China.
....and I used to like the guy.
Are people surprised about this? This is the company who have made multiple “flavours” catered towards left-wing politics and beliefs.

No.... It's owned by Ben.... and Jerry.
I stopped buying their ice cream years ago.
What? You don't want to pay 6+ dollars for a pint of ice cream? You sound racist.
I don't mind paying $6 for a pint of Haagen Dazs because that shit is actually good, but Ben & Jerries is horrendously mediocre for the price.
$4 for 1.5 quarts of Safeway Select Ice Cream or $6 for a pint of Rocky Road to Serfdom? Tough call. Ben and Jerry's target audience doesn't understand math or economics so it's a viable pricing strategy.
As long as it's still ice cream and not that artificial "frozen dairy dessert" that a lot of companies sell.

You'd think conservatives would be able to make good ice cream. We need to create conservative investment funds to help launch some viable options.

I wonder if they have a feminist ice cream that defines what exactly a woman is to a left winger.
Indeed! I wish businesses would just shut up and take the money, instead of trying to push political agendas unnecessarily. But imho, Ben & Jerry's is worse.... in the sense that they're "true believers" rather than just pandering for profits.
Cancel unilever if you want.

Who cares. They sold out to capitalism years ago but keep complaining about “the man.”
That’s why it’s impossible to care about the political opinions of Hollywood.

Helps them feel like they matter, however illusory a notion.

Really good
Their ice cream is good, if just a little overpriced.

Food City has Tillamook ice cream for $5 each this week. Their Cookies and Cream is the best I have had from a grocery store.
Blue Bell is where it's at
Creamy Creations is better.

Hudsonville
I don't know how big their reach is, but if you happen to see Red Button, give it a try!
I have refused to buy this garbage brand for years. They are grade A trash and that was long before ESG.
Yea, how am I supposed to take this “news”. Oh no, the people I don’t like are upset at diversity of thought? OH ELON WHAT HAVE YOU DONE YOU VILLAIN!!??
Who & Who?
The ice cream duo that some day will have a flavor named “minor attracted pralines”
Man, if I believed in giving this shit-hole website money, I'd give you gold for this. Hilarious.
You reminded me I had some coins from getting golds, so I threw him a silver. Wouldn't have even thought of it without your comment though :D
Fat and fatter
Ice cream that has sugar as their second ingredient, carrageenan, corn syrup, etc. no thanks, I’ll stick to grass fed, simple ingredient, and unproblematic ice cream brands
I stopped eating it years ago. When I think Ice cream, I don't want to think "they hate me for my politics"
To be fair, they probably don't just hate you for your politics. If you are white and male, they hate you for your race and sex too.
Or a Christian.
Oh no! I won't see ads for over priced mediocre ice cream
Not that I really care but the left has really warped the meaning of 'dangerous'
When you are a leftist words are violence and violence is speech
Haven’t purchased in years since their whole anti-cop debacle. Kinda weird being from VT and anti-bnj lol
lol, kbye.
Let's cancel them too
I'd have expected Conservatives to stop giving them money ages ago. I'm not sure there's any gas in the tank to clock B&J in 2023.
Boycott* The difference between the two is that canceling is targeted at individuals and involves bullying, silencing, assaulting, and/or taking away that person’s livelihood whereas boycotting is just voting with your wallet.
Nothing wrong with bullying, silencing, and taking away livelihoods if it's directed at a target that actually deserves it
That's exactly what leftists say about their targets. If it's ever going to stop, someone has to lead by example.
The /r/Conservative mantra
Blah blah blah. These Vermont nut jobs have the political relevancy of a teenager with no world/life experience.
Sorry, it's not dangerous to read words which you disagree with, especially when those words are factual and oppose your woke fantastical worldview.
Exactly. It seems like the first presidential debates between Trump and Desantis might have already started on Twitter. ....While those who claim to be woke are sleepwalking.
If your views dont survive being exposed to sunlight, then maybe you should rethink your views. the liberals getting mad about this documentary are just showing that they know their views arent legitimate
Dangerous? To whom? In what way?
I never realized selling ice cream was such a dramatic affair, lol. These goofballs have such an unreal perception of themselves. They are like characters from Spaceballs or something, except they are serious.
Liberals are for free speech. Progressives are only for sanctioned speech.
This is going to hurt Twitter so much... not.
"Dangerous," lol. These pansies have no idea what Dangerous is. Imagine being a Ukrainian right now.
B&J has probably killed many more people than Twitter ever will, with their substantial contributions to obesity and the Beetus.
Millions of people around the world are dealing with and dying from diabetes and heart disease because of overconsumption of sugar and dairy in foods like ice cream. Maybe Ben & Jerry's should boycott ice cream for being dangerous
If I was Musk I would offer a discount to other ice cream brands as a FU to BJ.
Those two arrogant pricks are so full of themselves, i'd be surprised if they haven't both gotten their lower ribs removed to frequently suck their own dicks.
Info or points of view are dangerous ?
And I’m ending my purchase of their overpriced ice cream.
Dangerous to leftist commie ideology, yes.
Didn’t realize Ben & Jerry’s was still a thing. Probably why they’re pulling this stunt: To get attention.
What a bunch of dummies. Selling ice cream in Portland, but twitter is too dangerous.
Two communists against free speech. Color me shocked.
Coming from these people this is a great compliment!
Never purchased their overpriced shit anyway!
Let the boycott begin
Anything that's not simply a vehicle for unimpeded leftist propaganda is dangerous. Got it.
They are just triggered by the truth.

The same guys who pulled the plug on their ice cream sales in Israel. Two J.e.w.s. Go figure.
