(Embarrassing) FP EDIT: Guys, I am SO sad and sorry to say that this flavor actually came out in 2018! Which is awesome in that it shows how supportive the company’s been all along for the cause, but super sucky that it’s not available now! I read an article that was only published a few days ago about this flavor, and wrongfully assumed it was new! I had NO intention of deceiving anyone, I was just excited about the flavor! That being said, definitely still buy Ben & Jerry’s; their Justice ReMixed is still on the shelves and is SO addicting, and they have many other great flavors too! And who knows, maybe their next flavor really WILL have blueberries!

I think we’ve all seen this tweet and loved it, and today I discovered they really did just announce a new flavor in honor of the protests: Pecan Resist!

It’s made with a huge mix of amazing and diverse ingredients, blended into one delicious pint!

The website has a small article about the new flavor and the causes that Ben & Jerry’s is supporting.

And how could I not include their amazing article about dismantling white supremacy??

They even had a list of in-depth related articles! Interested in reading them? Here’s a link: https://www.benjerry.com/about-us/media-center/dismantle-white-supremacy

I’ve been trying to eat healthy, but now I have an excuse not to!

Who knew ice cream is what it would take to make me start pronouncing pecan wring

Marketing, but the message is acceptable. Should marketing from another political angle be acceptable? "Build a wall"-flavor? I'm not sure.

Make it about police brutality, or make it about race. Don't make it about both, it weakens the argument. Also 90% of this is bullshit.

Ben & Jerry's is definitely good ice cream, if pricy. All of what goes into this one sounds like a tasty combination.

No, but they're often used as garnish. I'm thinking break them in half, then stick them into the icecream off to the side.
