Not only is Bernie Sanders winning in New Hampshire or Vermont, but now he just scored the ultimate political victory with his own flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream called “Bernie’s Yearning.”
Ben & Jerry’s had been discussing making a flavor for their home state senator for quite some time, and now that Bernie is all the rage, they made the taste of Bernie a reality.
Bernie’s Yearning features a milk chocolate disk on the top with plain mint ice cream below symbolizing the top 1% and and the huge gains they’ve made over the bottom 99% since the recession. It surprisingly does not contain any Werther’s Originals.
Sanders’ campaign is currently running a contest that gives supporters free pints and will hopefully prove that the easiest way to win a presidential election is to give away free ice cream.
