This isn’t quite true. Liberals do it to companies who refuse to “take a stance”, whereas the GOP only does it when companies do make a public stand. Unfortunately, it’s the only way forward.

Liberals will review bomb and boycott companies for as little as not wanting perverted men with gender dysphoria in the girls bathroom

Purchasing shite like bud light would only send the message that they should continue down the road of funding degenerate values

I try to make sure my dollars don’t go to people who will write the Biden family a massive check

I have family from Pittsburg who always buy Blue Bell when they are in Georgia and take it back home in a cooler. They say they can’t get it in PA.

I've said it many times, they make some really great ice cream flavors, but I can't buy because of their twisted, crazy arse social commentary.

Maybe I'll buy once he's formally ousted.

Ben & Jerry's was not very good ice cream anyway. I believe I ate a total of two of their pints ever.

I mean you can hate a woke company but this is just asinine. B&J is miles above bluebell.

That just tells me that there aren't enough liberals that buy their ice cream to justify Unilever putting up with their social justice BS. The market has spoken and the libs lost.


In my mind, I paraphrased that great bit from "The Office" - 'Everybody loves ice cream, liberals love ice cream, conservatives love ice cream..... wait, do conservatives love ice cream?'

B&J market their products as having real ingredients. Look at a label. It’s full of fake ingredients artificial ingredients etc.

That alone is enough for me to stay away. It’s processed garbage.

Blue Bell is the same garbage as Ben and Jerry's, both contain thickeners guar gum and carrageenan.

Blue Bell Vanilla ingredients:

Milk, cream, sugar, skim milk, high fructose corn syrup, natural and artificial vanilla flavor, cellulose gum, vegetable gums (guar, carrageenan, carob bean), salt, annatto color.

Hagen Daaz, OTOH, is pure ice cream.

Hagen Daaz Vanilla ingredients:

Cream, Skim Milk, Cane Sugar, Egg Yolks, Vanilla Extract

Still will never buy it. Unilever has owned them for over 20 years and let him do all his leftist BS.

Its only a start not an ending. That company has filth embedded in it at all levels. Lots more work to do. But at least they started.

Those city slickers must've finally come off the round-up and realized that woke goes broke (I always thought Curly was gonna kill 'em, anyway).

B& J's:

B&J's seems better ingredient wise, if that's important to you. They have eggs, and real vanilla. Blue Bell has HFCS (which some people have an issue with), no egg, artificial vanilla. Maybe you had another brand as reference?

FYI: "natural vanilla flavor" does not mean it has anything to do with a vanilla bean. It just means it was made from some 'naturally occurring' plant/animal thing, not 'synthesized' in a lab.

You eat it in your panties while listening to Taylor Swift, don't you? It's on the same level as store brand ice cream but your precious celebs rave about it so you think it's good.

Ive been picking up a brand called Halo. Can only get it in the pint size. Supposrd to be a little "healthier" than most (less unhealthy). We have the Blue Bell "no sugar added" right now.

Guar gum and carrageenan is awful for you. Has no business being in any food.

The most cringey display of fascist corporate racism I have ever seen was at Ben & Jerry’s in Vermont. I ended up skipping on ice cream after seeing that. I hope they get diabetes and go bankrupt.

Good. Now I can un-boycott their ice cream. My son couldn't understand why I wouldn't buy it.
