Just in time for the midterm elections, Ben & Jerry's ice cream has launched "pecan resist," a flavor the company says is meant to convey that "We can peacefully resist the Trump administration's regressive and discriminatory policies and build a future that values inclusivity, equality, and justice for people of color, women, the LGBTQ community, refugees, and immigrants." Also, that "We cannot ignore the Trump administration's attacks on our values, our environment, and our very humanity."

Wait until you get a load of the carton it shows up in. As if anyone on FR would even think about BJ ice cream. Let bernie eat it. He'll eat anything.

I have not bought any Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in the several decades since I learned they were two commies who mock the capitalist system and laugh at their customers who unknowingly support their hatred.

Conservatives can also economically resist Ben and Jerry’s as well by not shopping there.

Yes, I will Resist all Ben and Jerry's, since I have never had a spoon or lick of it. I will carry on the tradition.

I think pissing off 1/2 your customer base is a GREAT idea.

I was never a big bj fan but now — no way.

I wonder how long before Texas supermarkets start complaining it isn’t moving.

It must be nice to own a business that is able to survive with only half the population.

Its Vermont, DUH. So it has capitalist liberal billionaires.

Their politics suck and there’s better ice cream out there.

With unemployment at an all time low more of the commoners they pretend to care about have more discretionary income to buy more of their overpriced glop. And this leftist capitalist is bitching and moaning all the way to the bank.

What about Americans or citizens? Once again, absent...

We boycotted B&J’s decades ago.

That form of inclusivity has some odd exclusions.

Only Antifa is allowed to eat it. Very small market.

But it’s a shame, the actual ingredients sound good. I haven’t bought any B&J for quite a while.

Ever since they started their “one percent for peace” BS (long ago) I haven’t bought a single spoonful of Ben & Jerry’s.

Was tempted to put in keywords “Been and NPC” and “NPC ice cream”.
