Ben & Jerrys bans same-flavor scoops to support marriage equality
By Alex Bollinger · Sunday, May 28, 2017
Ben & Jerrys is protesting the ban on same-sex couples marrying in Australia by imposing a ban of its own: the ice cream chain will no longer serve two scoops of the same flavor together.
The announcement came via Twitter, where Ben & Jerrys reminds Australians that if theyre annoyed that they cant choose to have two scoops of the same flavor, they should remember that others still cant choose to marry the person they want to.
Ben & Jerrys will have cards available in stores that customers can mail to their Members of Parliament to show support for marriage equality. The chains Twitter feed also directs followers to an online petition.
Even though
a poll last year showed that 62% of Australians support marriage equality, the countrys current governing coalition is conservative. A promised national referendum on the issue was rejected by the Australian senate last year.
