(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

I dont even like pecans, almonds, or walnuts! I'll still buy this ice cream!

Why aren’t there more business owners like them? This is powerful.

Americone Dream is my fav. Can't wait to have it again.
SuperSunshineRainbow
They created cookie dough ice cream. Absolutely legendairy.

Between flavors Pecan Resist, Justice Remixed and Boots on the Mooooon...I love this company.
daidersanto
Yeah I'll pass that. Even if we get it in stores un my country. The combo sounds nasty.
VeryEnthusiasticWalksThroughtheWoods
Dangit I really don't like pecans, walnuts or almonds in my ice cream but I want to support
sweetiebabycookiehoney
They even make vegan flavors if you're lactose intolerant!
ChloePrice
Even if it's PR idgaf, it's nice to have a brand embrace us without safety net and piss off all the bigots.
IAlwaysUpvoteBirdies
Ok but why can't I get Ben and Jerry's in gallons
TheFastpaws
But I do not like pecans in my ice cream. I'm a mint chocolate chip person. :(

As much as I want to support this.. that's a lot of nuts in there.

If B&J are just trying to cynically use this movement to sell ice cream, they are hard committing.

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

It's fucking Fairtrade too!

Fair trade isn't always a good thing, it's can flood communities with unaffordable luxury goods that are just exported

Pass the Benadryl and hold my EpiPen- this is for America, this is for Freedom, this is.... this is fuckin good. Damn *wheeze* *choke*
Eldrol
Not only is it a great message to send and a great way to show support for those who are suffering it sounds delicious too.
NessaAesyth
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.
recliningpanda
Man it sucks we only get like a handful of flavours here it’s so good
Yellowdart49
Is it good?
ILikedTheirOldStuffBetter
Ben & Jerry's is definitely good ice cream, if pricy. All of what goes into this one sounds like a tasty combination.
Chereazi
Hell yeah! They fucking rock!
RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
Think they should release "ashes of the establishment", vanilla, with broken (not crushed) Graham crackers, cocoa powder, and snapped -/
RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
\- cinnamon sticks.
knuckledeepinachicken
...have you tried to eat a cinnamon stick?
RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
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.
ambitiouscouchpotato
I’m going to eat it but I really wish there were blueberries.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
i fuckin' hate nuts in ice cream, though the rest of it sounds good
orzhvopatriarch
We will walk down this rocky road together
ShadyEsperanto
I live in an area that pronounces it pe-CON instead of PEE-can so honestly it took me way too long to get their pun. Yours was easier.

Was "Pecan Overcome" already taken???

Not without crying!

Pecan resist is from November 2018 though, not exactly brand new.
guardianoftwosmallgods
Oh my gosh, you’re right! The article I read was published on Tuesday and made it sound like a new flavor!!
DustyEyebrows
Kind of makes it better that they didn't just jump on the bandwagon imo
Finduses
i agree, but i want people to praise them for what they actually did, not what someone claimed they did.
guardianoftwosmallgods
It is something they did, they just did it before the bandwagon! And I know they’re doing more now too!
andydicktracymorganfairchild
Now I can stuff my fucking face with ice cream and feel even more awesome about it. I'll put some baileys in there too, fuck everything
bogus1983
Did you know stout is awesome for an ice cream float?
andydicktracymorganfairchild
No. Thank you, I'll try that.

This is disgusting. They pronounce it "pee-can"? Ugh.
cargo305
Pee can. Is what you take on a road trip with kids.
roughandrowdyways
Oh!!! Like we can resist! I didn't understand the pun. It's late, I'm high, and I say pehkahn or however you'd type it. The other way lol.
Nirvash80
Southerner with a yankee mom here. We pronounce it "pe-kahn," with short syllables close together, similar to how you would say "pecking."
Corona688
What is it? "peck-in"? "pay-con?" "pay-cin"? "pacing"?
Leithreas
Just making a joke. I say "puh-kahn" but I'm a dirty yankee.
SmeesNotVeryGoodTwin
In addition to the Southeastern "p'kahn," I've also known a few Europeans that pronounce it "peekin"

That sounds klingon XD
