Ben & Jerry's co-founders unveil Kamala Harris 'Coconut Jubilee' ice cream flavor

[Beachnutt]

USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – Vice President Kamala Harris went viral after asking about a coconut tree. Now, she's getting her very own coconut ice cream.

MoveOn, a progressive public policy advocacy group, is partnering with Ben & Jerry's co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield to release a special Kamala Harris-inspired ice cream flavor. They'll also take an ice cream truck on tour in key battleground states as part of a push to register voters.
The "Scoop the Vote" free ice cream truck tour kicks off on Monday in Philadelphia – with Cohen and Greenfield – and will make 20 stops in states that will likely help decide the election, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Nevada. Limited edition pints of “Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee,” a coconut flavored ice cream layered with caramel and topped with red, white and blue star sprinkles, will be raffled off at the stops.

7. MAGA Meltdown in 5 4 3 2 1

I'm sure someone will be shooting up their Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

[central scrutinizer]

8. Yes, they'll buy a few cartons

And use them for target practice, not aware of the irony.

[Beachnutt]

10. Are you serious?

They'll eat the ice cream out of it first.

[central scrutinizer]

11. I'm not sure they're that smart

I’ve seen videos of them shooting up $300 Yeti coolers because of some imagined slight.

[Beachnutt]

12. I was just kidding,

they really are stupid enough to shoot up a good bowl of ice cream.

[Wonder Why]

29. It wasn't because of a slight. They heard that nobody had a Yeti trophy while humting for game in the Himalayas.

They just wanted to be the first.

[JoseBalow]

23. Bud Light and coconut ice cream? We can call it a Florida Float

The magat rednecks down there would probably LOVE it!

[rubbersole]

33. Don't give them any ideas...

...it will be a featured special at the Oak Hill Tastee-Freeze. On Sunday.

[Mr.WeRP]

[Nanjeanne]

9. Sounds yummy.

[TygrBright]

[70sEraVet]

16. You beat me to it!

Sorry for the imagery.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

17. Dictator Dessert

[wolfie001]

18. Imma get some of that!!!

Put it on the shelf STAT!!! 'Cause donald trump ain't sqat, and that's a matter of fact!!! ****Poem of the day

[BaronChocula]

19. Good for B&J

I've waited on them at the 5 Spice Cafe when I was a resident of the People's Republic of Burlington. I also got them to sign a petition to put a candidate on the ballot. At one point I lived around the corner from their second location. That part of town smelled good AF as you could imagine.

[WarGamer]

20. In a related story... Ben and Jerry's have announced a new flavor if Trump wins.

Bitter chocolate, sour heavy cream, with dog shit and borscht ribbons.

[Upthevibe]

22. Beachnutt...............

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[4lbs]

24. Even though I'm in California, and one of those trucks won't hit my state (Kamala should win her

own state by about 35 points),

I'll try to get a "Scoop the Vote" "Kamala Coconut Jubilee" cone at my local Ben & Jerry's

If not, I'll try to have one made that is as close as possible.

[Permanut]

25. Never mind the battleground states!

Send that truck to Oregon!

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. I would never buy a coconut ice cream , but I will buy this one.

[mysteryowl]

27. Get Out The Vote. Thanks Ben and Jerry!

Is it a fundraiser for her campaign as well?


We would definitely buy a few pints for the freezer, although I'm not sure how long it would stay there.

[mysteryowl]

28. Late Night talk shows should have Ben & Jerry on with the ice cream!

[FakeNoose]

30. Ben & Jerry's Scoop the Vote is coming to Pittsburgh!

I just entered my name to get a free pint of ice cream. I guess only a certain number of entries are going to "win." It seems like the Ben & Jerry's truck is coming to a lot of cities in the next few weeks.

What a great promotion!



Edit to add map of locations. They will add more as they get additional sponsors.

[TlalocW]

32. How about Circus Peanut Senility

For Trump?

[rubbersole]

34. Too kind.

[mucholderthandirt]

35. I'd buy it, but it seems not to be available in stores? I haz a sad. :(

[Blue Owl]

36. Everybody knows it isn't as popular as Donny's "Ketchup Diarrhea Swirl" flavor
