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.

Aren’t these two part of the 1%? Liberal hypocrats.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Like an ice cream sandwich in reverse.

Really if Ben and Jerry would be logical consistent... they label the new favor “steal this”

the hypocrites on the left sell it for profit....how hypocritical can you get?

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,"

Says Ben "The Rest of Us" Cohen, who is worth $150 million.

Bernie's Yearning

The approved way to get “Bernies Yearning,” is to wait in the grocery store, till someone has just left paying the cashier. Then reach into their cart and “FREE” the ice cream carton by putting it into your cart.

The pig with the other cart didn’t earn the ice cream. He paid for it with the spoils of capitalism.

And Hitlary's combination would be:

Chocolate-covered moth balls retrieved from the bottom of the wheel well of Bill Clinton's astroturf car that once held the fragrant essences of Hillary's combat boots and Huma's hot dog wrappers.

With a hint of vanilla.

The actual explanation is more amusing than any parody we could come up with. And note how Ben Cohen lumps himself in with "the rest of us" below the evil 1%.

The first 5 white people in line pay, and get no ice cream. The next 5 non-whites don’t pay, and get ice cream.

Ben & Jerry’s...

I flatulate in your general direction. May all of your refrigeration units fail.

[Disambiguator]

If Bernie dies before the election, they can change the name to “Bernie’s Burning” (in hell).

[envisio]

A backerds icecream sammich? Ain’t never heard of such a thing.

[tophat9000]

Funny that the rich oppressor 1% is represented by chocolate...isn’t that a racist slam on 8 years of Obama America?

[Obadiah]

Is the ice cream all red in color?

[Cyman]

And in the spirit of Bernie’s campaign all ice cream should be free. After all that is the righteous Sander’s mantra , from those that have (filthy rich B & J owners) to those that don’t.

[SamAdams76]

And the best part about this ice cream is...it's ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Well, it is free, isn't it? I'm sure Ben & Jerry's would not be trying to make any evil profit off our favorite socialist.

“Bernie’s Yearning”

Yuck.

[showme_the_Glory]

It Berns as it comes back up.

[Obadiah]

Ben Cohen is an American businessman, activist, and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $150 million.

Why is this filthy, greedy 1%er "selling" ice cream to the 99%ers? GREED, that's why! He should be giving it away in true Bernie Sanders manner.

Tastes like Poligrip and cat pee
