I loyally ate Ben N' Jerry's for 30+ years, since I was in HS, because the quality is unmatched. That said, they'll never get another cent from me.

They are probably worth hundreds of millions of dollars what have they done to fix any of the stuff they constantly cry about?

You're missing out on some rockin' ice cream. No shite.

Their wokeism isn’t why they don’t get my business. Their shitty product is, although the wokeism doesn’t help.

Look, I can’t stand people like this, either. So disingenuous and ignorant.

But if you are legitimately trying to say the product is crap, your credibility is just as bad as theirs.

I'm not a big ice cream guy but when I am in the mood for ice cream, I go with Blue Bell


Blue Bell is trash compared to Ben&Jerry's.

I wouldn't eat their ice cream if it was free.

What, I’m not allowed to have my own tastes?

If Blue Bell went woke tomorrow, I’d probably still buy their product. As for my credibility with you, who gives a shite? You’re just words on a screen.

I, for one, used to be racist, trans/homophobic, misogynist, xenophobic, and bigoted as frick until I saw Ben and Jerry's ice cream doesn't like that kinda stuff...

Their ice cream is legitimately good, I'm not sure how anyone can deny that. But their politics are so shitty that there are plenty of other just as good, if not better options to choose from like Graeters.


There is no denying it. It's up there with Haagen Daz.

I thought cow farts lead to global warming. They better stop using heavy cream and condensed skim milk.

I've never had Ben and Jerry's ice cream but I can't claim any political points. I tried some ice cream when I was 6 or 7 and was not impressed. Never tried it again.

They try and market it as being made with all natural ingredients. Look at the label its a bunch of fake processed crap. That's enough for me not to touch it

Did they ever give the land their HQ is built on back to the Indians?


They must be figuring out which indians to return the land to. The most recent indians who killed off the ones that were there before them... or the second most recent indians who killed the ones that were there before them... or the third...

Well, you can see why they may be taking so much time

They're right....Ben and Jerry's customers demand that they be woke. Don't like their stance on issues? Then don't buy their product.

I don't believe Ben and Jerry are even associated with the day to day operations of the Company anymore, other than being two fat Hippies on their advertising campaigns. The Cherry Garcia froyo is the shite.

Isn't liking the Grateful Dead enough of a clue that they are no good dirty hippies?

There they go with the "White Supremacy" bullshite.

Seriously, quit fighting them when they holler, "WHITE SUPREMACY!"

Look at them and say, "we know." You just destroyed them. You took away the hammer. What can they say? Whatever they say, laugh in their face.
