BEN & JERRY's: To Those Who Occupy Wall Street, We Stand With You !

Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream ^ | 10/10/2011 | Ben & Jerry Board of Directors

[Red Badger]

I have never eaten their garbage and never will......

[twister881]

Instead of defecating on the police cars, the fleabaggers should just plop B&Js on them...it’s the same thing.

[ealgeone]

Ummm...I call upon the members of the Board of Directors to divest themselves of any and all stock, bonds, pensions, 401(k)s, etc they have received or will receive from B&J’s.

Further, I call upon B&J’s to forgo any future profits and to begin to give away stock to anyone who wants it.

Further, I call upon B&J’s to just give their ice cream away to anyone who wants it.

Until they are willing to do this, just shut the heck up.

Oh how I miss Blue Bell now that we are back on the east coast. Schwan’s has good ice cream, though.

[RobertClark]

What’s next from Ben & Jerry’s? Perhaps some ‘Occupier Tracks’ ice cream? I’m sure it would taste like urine, unwashed greasy hair, and BO. The liberal activist trifecta of funk.

[funfan]

Well they should know since they are mega rich and I am not:)

[lovesdogs]

I am so glad that I caught on to the brand right about when they released that “Garcia” flavor. I have not touched it since. Bluebell is awesome and from TX. If you want a little indulgence, Talenti gelato “salted caramel” will make you snack somebody. No hippy boys or Starbucks ice cream will ever come in my house.

[Aria]

So how do we pay for all these pie in the sky government programs? Wonder what the total annual cost of these is?

I can’t boycott them since I don’t eat B&J ice cream - too many calories.

[MHGinTN]

The company was sold to a corporation for unteen millions a while back. I stopped buying their over price confection when I learned of their progressivism, before the two guys sold it to a leftist corporation.

[FrdmLvr]

I know! Another case where I wished I bought their product so I could STOP buying it!!!!!!

[NVDave]

And it is a Dutch/English conglomerate as well. It isn’t even a US conglomerate.

Unilever is in fact a very large corporation, one of the world’s largest for consumer products. From the lefty site, “CorporateWatch.org”

“However, in spite of Unilever’s vast size and presence worldwide, the company’s actual visibility is surprisingly low. Anonymity hides the company’s importance. Unilever does not retail under its own name, preferring brand names to create the illusion of diversity. Who does not know brand names like Magnum, Omo, Dove, Knorr, Ben & Jerry’s, Lipton, Slim-Fast, Iglo, Unox, Becel, and Lever2000? They’re all part of the ‘Unilever armada of brand names’. To make sure the brand names do not go unnoticed, Unilever spends huge amounts of money on marketing and advertising. Advertising has always been a keystone of Unilever’s businesses. The Dutch-Anglo company is likely to be the world’s number one advertiser. (Advertising Age estimate a 1999 global media spend of $3.7bn (£2,539bn), of which $3.1bn (£2,127bn) was outside the US, making Unilever the world’s #1 advertiser)[2].”

Looks like the kiddies have been bamboozled.

Again.

I knew Ben back in the late 60’s. I won't tell you some of the things we did in and around Stowe but it was a great time. I don't eat their ice cream often but it's really good.

Ben, If you're reading this do you remember what we gave Lex Page for his birthday? Remember, we propped it up in the A-frame and attached a big red bow.

[hinckley buzzard]

Ben and Jerry's is a subdivision of Unilever, a huge international conglomerate that began with a partnership of Lever Brothers (soap) in England and a Belgian margarine company. They both used large quantities of palm oil in their products and for many years used slave labor in the Belgian Congo to get it.

Now they have adopted the trendy marketing figleaf of "sustainability" while continuing to absorb numerous producers of consumer goods.

A fitting corporate owner of the pretentious a-holes at B&J's.

[arasina]

Yeah. Its those other corporations. Our corporation is good. Don’t look at us. I swear. Its not us. Please don’t hurt us.

Its not me, its not me. Its that corporation behind the tree.

Well said.

Ben & Jerry's, the latest in occupocrisy!

[GOP Poet]

but where do you stand on a bunch of useful idiots and commies taking over your home a throwing your arses out for what you own and paid for. Mind you this IS their end goal. I know. I sadly used to hang out with these idiots. I woke up very quickly when I had to get a job after college and actually woke up before but what the heck is a conservative to do with commies for professors when it comes to grade time. I just ignored them and moved on.

These business people that stand with these losers and thieves are very naive indeed.

[Inspectorette]

If you ever visit Oregon, try Umpqua or Tillamook ice cream.

[JNRoberts]

Instead of "We stand with you" shouldn't they be saying "We sit with you"...and I wouldn't be ordering no Chunky Monkey anytime soon either:

[WellyP]

Spencer’s Ice Cream in Milford, Maine is great!

[Atlas Sneezed]

I think this is just a transparent ploy to market their new “Crown Victoria Fudge Ripple” flavor.

[LostInBayport]

To anyone who wastes their money on B&J’s garbage, I’d stay away from Ben & Jerry’s “Wall Street Fleabagger Fudge” ice cream.

They can take the photo of that brainiac Fleabagger "expressing himself" on that cop car and use it as the label. It surely sums up the Ben & Jerry's political philosophy.
