Ben & Jerry’s bans two scoops of same flavor until marriage equality comes to Australia

I'm not surprised you support Bernie's ice cream. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...erry%92s-co-founder-creates-Sanders-ice-cream

I'm not really a sweets person. My vices are salty foods.

Between this and companies spending money buying reps and lobbying governments, I'll take this. I think it's a pretty funny way to protest an issue that they care about. As was said in the rest of the thread, people can decide for themselves if they want to support the company with their money or not.

I am sure everybody who works there supports their actions.

I've ridden my bicycle on trails throughout the farms that B&J gets their milk from near St Albans VT. Beautiful country.

They're free to quit if they have a problem with it. They don't own the company.

Of course. Getting a new job is a process that takes at most a few minutes.

That's their problem, not the company's.

Companies doing what they want to do without gubernment interference.. excellent - they can be as stupid as they want to and let the market decide.
Hasn't there been a smart ass that wanted two scoops of whatever and asked for the second scoop to be in a different vessel? (cone.. bowl.. DIY two scoop cone)

Years ago.. military clubs overseas (West Germany) decided that it was against the rules for a bartender (me) to fix doubles or triples .. no more than one shot of booze to a glass.
We had to wash a bunch more glasses for those shots on the side and for a while I had to make really lousy white Russians, Manhattans, etc and OMG what we had to do to the Long Island ice teas... premix a few of just the booze then shot it out

yeah.. not really related but my mind wandered off

I assume they don't sell Ben & Jerry's in Africa, Asia, or Eastern Europe?

Nancy Boy ice cream . LOL , never tried it .

I stood in front of the ice cream aisle the other night. BJ's was on sale. 2 fer $6. I looked through the selection and came across a Jimmy Kimmel flavor and then a Stephen Colbert flavor.

WTF?

I just grabbed a half pint of PET vanilla for $3.

I've got all the condiments to make my own creation without the politics.

Goodbye Ben and Jerry's.

Believe it or not the Jimmy Fallon flavor and the Colbert are two of the best. Americone Dream is what dreams are made of. It's like an orgasm.

BTW: I was at B&J's on Sunday and got two scoops of the same flavor so this is bullshit because it wouldn't fly in the US.

Meh, I go to the ice cream stand when I want ice cream. Mr Animal buys it occasionally but he usually gets the Turkey Hill.

I kind of like it when these companies self-identify a$$holes.

I helps me decide who to patronize.

As far as their politics goes, this ^^^.

Second- to third-rate ice cream manufactured and sold by Ültra-Phøgs the spontaneous combustion of whom would serve only the make the world a better place.

How do they stay in business?

 

[osan]

How do they stay in business? Their product is so third-rate. Couple that with the attitude and once can but wonder.

Hate to zombie this thread, but I just have to. It's the best ice cream available nationwide, hands down.

And I grew up in the hometown of Friendly's ice cream, and love it. But Ben and Jerry's is better.

There is no better flavor than phish food.
