Another woke company bites the dust.
We will see. Ben & Jerry's has been vocally left-wing and obnoxious about it for many years, and they're still around. Previous boycotts never accomplished much against them, so it'll be interesting to see if this one actually manages to inflict some real damage - and a dip in Unilever's stock price will have to last a while to count as real damage.

Conservatives can't effectively boycott a product they don't buy. Ben & Jerry's has been leftist for decades, and their market is middle to upper class urban and suburban liberals. It may be good, but it is a superpremium brand with pricing to match. They have a market far less vulnerable to conservative boycotts than inexpensive beer.
