Ben & Jerry's Announces Non-Dairy Ice Cream
Ben & Jerry's

Listen up dairy-haters:

Ben & Jerry's has recently announced that they have created a new line of their famously unique and delicious ice cream in non-dairy pints.

The new Ben & Jerry's non-dairy ice cream is certified vegan and made with almond milk so that people can eat it and not experience the negative effects that come from eating regular dairy ice cream.

If you are a vegan or dairy doesn't sit well with you, this is a holy-cow big deal.

The non-dairy flavors include Chocolate Fudge Brownie, P.B. & Cookies, Chunky Monkey and Coffee Carmel Fudge. Each flavor is made with almond milk to ensure a creamy texture while also including the famous chunky mix-in's such as cookies, brownie pieces and fudge. The research and development process for the non-dairy line took about three years.

Not only are the flavors dairy-free, but they are also certified vegan through Vegan Action (http://vegan.org). Vegan Action is an organization that works on vegan certification, education and labeling. You can rest assured that none of the ingredients in the new non-dairy ice cream contain any traces of animal products.

You don't have to be vegan to choose a non-dairy pint of Ben & Jerry's. Because the base of the ice cream is almond milk instead of regular milk, the ice cream is naturally a little bit healthier. Now you can eat more ice cream in one sitting to reward yourself for making the healthier choice.

The ice cream is not only dairy-free and certified vegan, but it is also made from Fair-trade and non-GMO ingredients. This stuff is pretty much made from angels.

The company claims that the development of a non-dairy ice cream is the result of high customer demand. With 16 million people in the United States now identifying as vegan, the non-dairy ice cream market has been left virtually empty.

Don't flock to the grocery store yet; distribution is said to slowly roll out in grocery stores in the next four to six weeks.

While four to six weeks may seem like forever, I think we can all wait that long for a product that took three years to make. The company is claiming that the ice cream will still have a creamy texture and huge chunky add-ins.

Eat up, dairy haters, we have been waiting for this.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
