Don’t even think about reaching for a pint of Cherry Garcia, Chunky Monkey, Chubby Hubby, or Half Baked.
Why? Here’s the scoop: You likely know this already, but if you do buy some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream — you’re supporting one of the most liberal companies in the country.
Last week, the Vermonters declared their support for Black Lives Matter by posting a giant BLM logo on the company’s Facebook page and website, saying, “Choosing to be silent in the face of such injustice is not an option.”
The statement goes on to directly target police: “It’s been hard to watch the list of unarmed Black Americans killed by law enforcement officers grow longer and longer. We understand that numerous Black Americans and white Americans have profoundly different experiences and outcomes with law enforcement and the criminal justice system. That’s why it’s become clear to us at Ben & Jerry’s that we have a moral obligation to take a stand now for justice and for Black lives.”
In response, Blue Lives Matter is calling on all Americans to boycott all Ben & Jerry’s products and send a message to the company.

The list of unarmed whites is far longer, Cupcake.
I think we covered this last week, but it bears repeating. Ben & Jerry’s sold out to Unilever many years ago for hundreds of millions. Those two old, fat Socialists, who got filthy, STINKING RICH thanks to CAPITALISM, don’t give a flying f#ck about Blue Lives OR Black Lives these days.
Of course they’ll STILL be voting for, ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named.’
HOWEVER - you CAN boycott Unilever Products, which may or may not make any difference in the long run. You’re going to have to give up Vaseline and Hellman’s Mayo, but, depending upon your personal proclivities, you can find generic brands, LOL!

Companies run by America-hating ingrates should not be a consideration.
I will continue my boycott of the hippy-dippy-hypocritical-commie-pseudocapitalist ice cream company.
Does anyone know of a good purveyor of blueberry flavored ice cream? Or even vanilla with blueberries?
Or maybe I'll just get a scoop of that shocking aqua colored ice cream from 31 Flavors.
Same here and I throw in Google for good measure.
My wife and I recently tried Kroger premium ice cream when it was on sale for a dollar a half pint and it was great.
Dreyer’s, not to be confused with Breyer’s, makes a Maine Blueberries and Cream.
Gladly.
These SOBs are long on my /4;($?$(;:!?:?; list for obvious leftist propaganda.
Along with Tyson chicken for being in bed with Billary.
I cheat on that one. I use Google for some searches, since their algorithm does a better job than Bing for some things I want. However, I never follow google links. I copy and paste the link in a different window to make sure they don't get credit.
Go to “Menchies”!
The CEO is a former Isreali Defence Force Officer and a class act by all accounts.
That Chinese-American commie nobody “activist” they celebrated on their stupid “doodle” last spring was last straw for me. Even nobody commies get celebrated while truly great people don’t.
But because Bing does not have a good mapping thing, I still use it for checking traffic.
Otherwise, not once have I used Google for a plain old search.
Never heard of it, but I will look into it...thanks!
I can’t boycott them, because I would first have to START buying their sheet.
Easy. They were already boycotted for previous stupidity. They seem to step in it pretty often.
= = = = = = = = =
I don’t believe I have ever bought the product and may have eaten it unbeknownst to me
BUT
A local farmers Market - Conservative Owners, was carrying BJ’s (HEY.....hmmmm) and I asked ‘why’ about a year ago.
Guess I will now tell him I won’t darken his doorstoop as long as he has the product in his store.
Easier to ‘boycot’ something when dealing with a ‘family’ rather than a huge corporation..
Every time I see Ben & Jerry’s on the shelf I take great satisfaction in not buying it. Never have. Never will.
If I happened upon a Ben & Jerry’s gift card, I’d throw it out. Let that shit sit on the shelf.
Try Duck Duck Go or Ixquick

Thanks for the list — Knorr and Ponds are the only 2 I’d really miss ... but I will find alternatives — I haven’t bought my old favorite Chobani yogurt for months (even when staying in a hotel, I won’t grab it with my free “continental” breakfast) and I haven’t been to a Target since the stupid bathroom policy started (was a VERY loyal customer, spent at least $100 almost every time I went in and I went in a LOT!) — I know I’m just one person and maybe it doesn’t make a bit of difference, but who knows ... lots of tiny drops will eventually fill a bucket.
Sorry, for clarification...in the IDF:
....served prior to his business career as a sergeant in the armed forces, in an infantry combat unit, and graduated commanders and sergeants schools.
Never have bought their stuff, no plans to do so.
Why but them, when Blue Bell and Meadow Gold are available?
