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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
