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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
