Ben & Jerry’s ice cream founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield are repping their own, creating a special flavor for fellow Vermonter and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
A pint of “Bernie’s Yearning” offers “Political Revolution Inside,” or at the very least a mix of mint chocolate chip.
The ice cream guys have been traveling the country handing out sweet treats at Sanders events, and on Thursday they gave out free samples of Bernie’s Yearning in Union Square in New York City.
Cohen told NPR: The ice cream pint comes with a huge chocolate disk at the top which “represents all the wealth that’s gone to the top 1 percent. And the way you eat it is you take your soup spoon and you whack it into a bunch of little pieces, and then you mix it around and have a more equitable distribution of wealth.”
