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

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
