She’s already got a Lego figure, so why not an ice cream?

Ben & Jerry’s fans are appealing to company known for its wacky flavors with pop culture references to create a Ruth Bader Ginger flavor to honor Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg --and there’s even a petition to further the cause.

Boston resident Yael Mazor Garfinkle started the Change.org petition after Buzzfeed reported that Ben & Jerry’s has named more than twenty ice cream flavors after people in the past 30 years—but only two have been for women. …

If they do go through with this, it would be the worst one since Cherry Garcia Berry Jerry.

So we have to keep score, of how many women vs. men have ice cream named for them? Really???

How many flavors have been named for minorities? How many Latinos, how many black? How many “LGBT” peoples have been honored by Ben and Jerry’s? We have to know these things, in order to make sure they have affirmative action for ice cream naming principles......

I'm surprised they haven't come out with Marion Berry - the ice cream with a sting.

Hillary Chillary: Bitter and most of the ice cream is shoved into the bottom of the cone.

Michelle My Belle: You pay for two scoops, but you only get half a scoop for your own good. The remainder is donated to Sidwell Friends school.

Haagen-Daaz for me. I prefer ice cream made with real cream and sugar.

I am proud to say that we have not purchased a Ben and Jerry product for at least 26 years, (once we found out what they were.)

If it doesn’t have prunes and chalk flavors in it then they’re doing the justice an injustice.

I wouldn’t pay a cent for anything these 60s throwbacks produced.

I hear that each serving will be fortified with enough tryptophan for a Thanksgiving day turkey!

They had plans for three other TV-character-themed flavors: Strawberry Ginger, Mocha-Ann, and Vanilligan. All three would also be available as a single Neopolitan ice cream-like confection called “Gilligan’s Island.” Alas, licensing fell through...

There’s ‘Marion Berry’ pie served at my favorite cafeteria. I’ve thought about telling the girl at the desert section to ‘set me up’ with a couple of pieces. Probably best not to, however. She either wouldn’t get it, or if she did, she might feel insulted.

Grandma SCJ Baldy Breyer has his own name in direct competition so he’s off the list.

They almost went under, but then Unilever basically saved them after a fashion.

Goin’ old school for joke. Ruth Buzzy approves it. I think it’ll have rum-soaked raisins in it.

Ice cream named after people is pretty sick.
