It seems Ben and Jerry's may be next in the firing line after they made waves with a provocative 4th of July tweet claiming the US is on stolen Indigenous land. Could we witness a downturn similar to Bud Light?

Or is their irresistibly good ice cream strong enough to keep their ship afloat?

Edit: Side note - in the absence of B&J, what ice cream are you turning to? I’m in AUS. So B&J was a game changer. Not anything else like it that I’m aware of.

Check my comment history haha.

But good job avoiding everything in my comment in an attempt to avoid the subject.

You claimed it was “right wing reactionary morons”.

My point is I am talking “after the lgbtq+ push back”

Are you calling the lgbtq+ reactionary Morons?

Are you cool with how InBev has treated them?

The way I see it, this is an opportunity for the right and left to actually come together to some degree.

None of what you're saying makes any sense. That's why I'm not acknowledging every single talking point.

Why would the left ever be annoyed at the kind of statements Ben and Jerries made??

It’s fascinating that you’ve decided to pigeonhole consumers and their reactions into simplistic ‘left’ and ‘right’ categories. As I stated before, Bud Light faced significant backlash. However, contrary to your assertion, it wasn’t just ‘right-wing reactionary morons’ but included a broad spectrum of customers, including those from the LGBTQ+ community. You might want to look into the reactions of Mulvaney herself. Is she too a reactionary moron?

You’ve conveniently chosen to focus only on left-leaning consumers when talking about Ben and Jerry’s, but customers are not monolithic. Their preferences, beliefs, and reactions to a brand’s actions are diverse and complex. Ignoring this reality is an oversimplification at best, and at worst, an arrogant dismissal of diversity.

(Also, congratulations on learning how to edit your comments Hahah)

Pls just stop, the fancy words and walls of text won’t save you. It’s embarrassing, like a wannabe Ben Shapiro “It’s fascinating☝️🤓”

? More Reddit logic. Didn’t take long.
