Trying to understand this.

Ben and Jerry started this brand of ice cream. They want to make liberal political statements, but when they sold the company and became quite wealthy, they lost the ability to make their statement as a corporate statement?

Can’t they still speak out as individuals and not on behalf of the brand?

I’m clearly missing something.

Telenti tastes better it’s been a decade since I’ve had B& J in the freezer.

When are these companies ever going to realize that when they take a political stand, they loose half of their customers. Just sell your product to as many people as you can and keep your mouth shut about politics. Unfortunately for the left leaning companies, liberals do not have as much money to spend as the conservatives.

How many decades of our lives have we experienced the high level of media attention given to these two liberals for no reason?

Think of the endless favorable press and serious attention from the media given these two and their little food product, as conservatives they would not be at this place in the celebrity/opinion/newsmaker spectrum, they would never have had any importance or celebrity at all.

My family is ice cream crazy - but the one brand I will not buy is Ben & Jerry’s.

A good dose of 10,000 Haitian “refugees” straight into Ben & Jerry’s home town in Vermont may change their attitude a bit - but I doubt it. Rich people have a way of shielding themselves from the lefty policies they support and foist on the rest of us.

I read that Michael Jordan was once asked why he,unlike many of his fellow sports stars,never talked about politics. His reply was "because Republicans buy sneakers too".

If this actually happened I'd call it a very smart policy to have.

I like Ben & Jerry’s ice cream...but ever since I saw “1% for peace” on the packages I’ve avoided it like the plague.

Proud to say I’ve never spent a cent in Ben & Jerry’s.

I hope they get a bunch of LIB Money and make a hostile takeover offer. Let them be stand alone. Easier to isolate. The LIBS will eat more ice cream for a bit, but will quickly tire of it and B&J will start a doom loop.

B&G always seemed unclean, unshaven, and unkempt to me and it grossed me out. (and yes, I know they weren’t actually making it themselves)

Never had the ice cream, never will. I’ll put Texas Blue Bell up against the hippy lib ice cream any day.

Good plan, use all your wealth to buy it back. Then run it in the ground with woke BS policies and bankrupt the company. Couldn’t happen to two better bozos.

Well their ice cream sucks, so there’s that. Plenty of other premium brands including from the dough boy.

It's crap ice cream. If ice cream is good, you don't have to fill it to the brim with candy and other crap to the point that there's very little ice cream in the container.

This stuff is pretty good, even tho' the dairy is run by fags.
