Ben Cohen, one of the co-founders of Ben & Jerry‘s ice cream and a longtime Sanders supporter, has for months talked about making a special flavor for his home-state senator. Earlier this month, Cohen told MSNBC that he would call the ice cream "Bernie‘s Yearning," featuring a milk chocolate disk covering the top of plain mint ice cream. The disc is meant to represent "the huge majority of economic gains that have gone to the top 1% since the end of the recession. Beneath it, the rest of us," reads the description on the back of the pint posted on the website.

It has to be crap coated with vanilla icing.
Doesn’t Bernie think they have too many choices of Ice cream as it is?
Does it taste like deodorant?
Is it red?
Made with milk stolen from someone else’s cows?
The pint is free but comes with $23.95 in federal taxes.
An empty cone and the guy behind you gets the ice cream.
Unfortunately when you buy a pint you will find it 10% full, the other 90% has been given to the people who are refuse to pay for it.
It’s full of nuts, flakes, and fruts, but it’s still bland and tastes recycled.
Better than crunchy pantsuit sherbert
It looks like mulch and smells like manure.
Does this constitute political speech that requires FEC filings?
You beat me to it. :-)
“Yearning”????? Don’t tell me the ingredients. I don’t want to know. Blech!!!

Ben Cohen net worth:
$150 Million
Ben Cohen Net Worth: Ben Cohen is an American businessman, activist, and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $150 million. Ben Cohen was born in Brooklyn, New York in March 1951. Cohen is best known for being the co-founder of the ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s. As a senior in high school Ben worked as an ice cream man. He worked many odd jobs and studied at various schools before becoming a craft teacher at a private school for emotionally disturbed adolescents. While working there he started experimenting making his own ice cream. Cohen decided to go into the food business with his old friend Jerry Greenfield and the pair opened Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream Parlor in Burlington, Vermont. Their style of ice cream was partially developed to compensate for Cohen’s anosmia which is a loss of smell and near-loss of taste. Since opening their first shop Ben & Jerry’s has opened nearly 200 franchised shops and has earnings of $237 annually. They started Ben & Jerry’s with $8,000 and a $4,000 bank loan. Cohen resigned at the company’s Chief Executive Officer in 1996 and has not been actively involved with Ben & Jerry’s since Unilever acquired it in 2000 for $325 million. He is involved in the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation and was a US Small Business Person of the Year in 1988.
A pint of dyed-red pistachios would be more fitting.
Ewwww
The hippies really are totalitarian Marxists.
Im not understanding this at all. The choclate disk represents mostly dems who’ve gotten govt kickbacks, loans, free rides etc etc. Theyve been living off the back of the tax payer. This is good and noteworthy, something of a credit to Bernie??
