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

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

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
