Bernie Sanders' Ben and Jerry's flavor: top 10% is chocolate you smash and mix with the 90% below

Has nobody commented on how this flavor design would be A HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS TO EAT?

I wouldn’t buy it! Nobody wants to WORK for their ice cream! Sure the metaphor is great, but those who would embrace it are more likely to buy the ice cream in massive quantities and never eat it, hoarding it away as a ‘collector’s item’ rather than actually doing any of the things actually intended-- oh wait, that describes pretty well what the rich do to our economy too: they hoard it away and never contribute back proportionally what they reaped.

All in all my biggest concern about this is that most people, the mint of that ice cream combo, would totally miss the point. And that’s kind of a big deal: The work-a-day masses two paychecks away from oblivion don’t have time to mix ice cream. They’re too busy striving to just survive and make sure they’ll get that next mortgage payment in or else they’ll be foreclosed upon. The whole point of the bernie sanders movement is about trying to lessen the pressure. It’s about CHANGING the current situation, not embracing how shitty it is NOW.

… honestly i wanted something radical and spicy that is both a little bit scary but also enticing.

Ginger Chili Ice Cream, anyone? What’s wrong, don’t want to Feel the Bern? :stuck_out_tongue:
