Ben & Jerry's has a new flavor.

New Pecan Resist.
“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.”
Nothing like sitting down to have some ice cream and a big heaping of politics...

Vox actually has an interesting observation at the end,
Quote
Part of the allure of the “resistance brand,” Hess points out, is that it presents a more appealing alternative to the annoying time-suck of actually resisting. The problem isn’t progressive ice cream; the problem is that buying ice cream — or mascara, or salt — is not civic engagement, even if you sign up for the emails.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

We need some "conservative" ice cream flavors.
"Salted caramel" is popular right now, we could market a liberal tears salted caramel.
Or how about "Revenge, a dish best served cold"
"Snowflake" ice cream, Flavorless and totally lacking substance but still leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Unilever owns B&J, good luck with any protest with their products.

Over rated ice cream anyway.

I'll stick with Bryer's Reeses Cups and Magnum Bars.

I bid a fickle finger of fate to Commiecream when they started advocating for the out and out release of Mumia Abu-Jamal, who killed a Philadelphia police officer in cold blood.

I agree with Bluestarlizzard -- B&J's is greatly overrated. (Not to mention over-priced.)

Actually, in the spirit of full disclosure I should say "was" overrated and over-priced. I am not qualified to discuss it in the present tense because I haven't bought any of their product for more than 25 years.

We have a local ice cream around here that was started by a guy who was a Republican candidate for governor.

High quality ice cream for the rare occasion I buy some.
