17 Reasons Ben & Jerry's Is The Greatest Ice Cream Brand Ever For Their Social Justice Stance

In This Article:

Their recent press release demands "we must dismantle white supremacy". I never thought I could love Ben & Jerry's more. The well-known ice cream brand has time and time again proven to be the best for many reasons. Most notably, the progressive company stands for social justice warriors for more than their politically-charged flavor names.

I'm proud to say that my senior Facebook name was "Ben & Jenni's" because you best believe I stand with Ben & Jerry.

Founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield admitted: "When we founded this humble company in Burlington, Vermont back in 1978, we started with 3 simple beliefs: only the best ingredients go into our ice cream, our company should be run with integrity, and All Cops Are Bastards."

Ben & Jerry's is out here doing the most for the Black Lives Movement and demanding us to do the same.

While other companies are giving a slap on the wrist and pointing their fingers at society's structural racism, the popular ice cream company is calling everyone out and really said, "F**k the police."

The company didn't just condemn racism and police brutality but listed four specific steps we must all take. This is our solution.

Here are 18 reasons that prove Ben & Jerry's is officially the best ice cream company ever:

They won't stand for any B.S., including police brutality

Ahem, do you know what their new A.C.A.B Cookie Crunch flavor stands for?

They know how to laugh

They encourage peace through yoga

Yoga anything and I'm down.

They've been around for awhile, specifically since 1978

Have you ever tried PhishFood?

Been my favorite flavor of ice cream since the good ol' 2005.

Cofounders Ben and Jerry were arrested at the Democracy Awakening protest in 2016

Ben & Jerry's

They have vegan and non-dairy options

Becuase no matter our dietary choices, we all crave a brain freeze.

They aren't afraid to get a little risky with alcohol

Cookie Dough chunks were worth the wait

Yes, I did put myself on the waitlist when rumors of this glorious item leaked.

Apparently dogs roam around their headquarter's office

They have a flavor for every occasion

Don't forget about their Netflix & Chill'd flavors.

Their Instagram is stock full of ingenious recipes

Jimmy Fallon has his own ice cream flavor

Among other celebrity-inspired flavors.

Their Half-Baked flavors make me salivate

They are helping educate society

Make sure to scroll through their Instagram feed to learn more.

Their stores are decorated with a bunch of cute cows

The company started with two best friends

You guessed it, Ben and Jerry.

They will never stop fighting for what they believe in one scoop at a time

Nor should they. Thank you Ben and Jerry for using your platform for good and changing the world for the better.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
