people get suckered by advertising and marketing, UK homegrown is better and you support the local economy and not BIG GLOBAL CONGLOMERATES

Also they have the WORST rating for animal testing

Any ice cream that has the right wing in tears is worth my time and money.

They are also one of the only companies with a massive range of vegan ice cream flavours too.

They just tell you it's vegan, so they can sell it to vegans. They know you'll believe anything they say. It's all about the money, money, money.

Ben & Jerry's have some heavenly flavours imo.

Also I don't get the issue with them being against black people dying because of the colour of their skin? Shouldn't everybody be in agreement that it's wrong to murder people for those reasons?

Yes but that is logical and some people think they know better than common sense.

Some people need to be careful with what they wish for though, because if the Police in America get away with killing black people for racial reasons they could start killing people for being gay or for other reasons that I can't quite think of right now.

Basically it's a slippery slope and I personally support what Ben & Jerry's are doing to try and stop that slippery slope.

No wonder there's an obesity problem. All this Ice cream getting eaten. When I were a lad, it was single cone with a squirt of syrup sauce, if we were lucky and it was a hot day.

I don't think you know what reality is, Alfred. If you did, you wouldn't get so irate over ice cream.

Where have I gotten irate? I don't believe I have. Trust me, if I got irate, you'd know about it. I just don't get as wet as other people over Ice cream with a label.

The Right Wing will act like it should be a cake company's decision whether they sell cake to a gay customer but will fall to pieces when an ice cream company speaks out on police brutality.

Haven’t bought ice cream in ages but Ben and Jerry’s will be my first choice if I decide to, it takes a lot of guts for a company to tweet something like this alongside the many other times they’ve spoken up for the black community
