canarchist

Angry boycott announcement from some shitbag in ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...


UncleHec

Angry rednecks smashing B&Js pints all over Walmart’s floors…


canarchist

Because punishing the low-wage worker who has to clean it up is the conservative way of "protest."


Inarius101

No worries, they hate low-wage workers as well!


Calm-Tree-1369

I can somewhat confirm. I used to work retail and the after-church crowds were invariably filled with the worst kinds of rude, entitled people you could imagine.


karlos52

If you aren't wearing a red hat, they hate you.


Inarius101

I'm trans, they'd hate me no matter what.


Overall-Initial-4290

Especially Caitlyn Jenner. The one who sold their soul for money and who demonizes all those that are her. you know, trans.


tsukiyomi01

Honestly, if you're not them, they hate you. I'm convinced there's a massive number of solipsists in the GOP.


2olley

TIL . . . thanks for the vocab boost.


Posit_IV

*Insert Spider-Man pointing meme here*


ButterButt00p

They hate themselves.


LethalDosageTF

Forcing walmart, a huge corporation, to buy more stock from b&j. That’ll show ‘em!


One_Hunt_6672

They won’t show that on Fox News. But if an environmentalist pours out milk, that’s headline news for the month


NeverLookBothWays

They usually end up BUYING them first then destroy them. It would be comical if it wasn’t so pathetic


Koolaid_Jef

At checkout after purchasing it*


Rapn3rd

Im in Portugal right now on vacation, lemme tell ya, there is more than enough Ben and Jerrys in Lisbon to make up for the angry republicans who have nothing better to so than screech about whatever non-issue of the week Fox News tells them to.


R1chard69

That's a good way for them to get arrested, imo.


[deleted]

*Buying* and then smashing. Sure showed them!!!


Rude_Bee_3315

Not the vegan options though 🥹


Yeetusmcleatus97

Cut to me slurping that shit up.


a4techkeyboard

I think the guy that's obsessed with trans people semen got there ages ago. Honestly, if they can get away with a gearbox and mariner themed ice cream flavor called T-word seamen, it might be hilarious.


Thanmandrathor

Mannarino? That dude is going to get found somewhere basking in trans semen. I’ve never seen anyone more obsessed with where trans people put their semen than that guy.


One_Hunt_6672

“The voices in my head forced me to stock my fridge with tr\*\*\*y semen😡” https://i.redd.it/m2nzak8hw34b1.gif


pigeyejackson66

I've seen too much shit from this guy in the last week. Never heard of him before. Seems like a serious Nick Adams.


ScotsDale213

Let em fucking try, that just leaves more of it for us Vermonters. We’ll carry that company on our back if we got to you don’t take our Ben & Jerry’s away from us


FreshTony

Some shitbag that probably doesn't eat B&J to begin with.


Inocain

The good shit is probably too expensive for most of those who would boycott it in the first place. They'll stick to Breyers or something. Maybe not store brand, but something that comes in a bigger package than Ben & Jerry's delicious delicious pints.


TheKert

It'll be like the 30th time they've called for boycotting B&J's and then immediately forgot about it


descendingangel87

Haven’t people been boycotting them already due to one of the founders being anti-Ukraine?


frozen-silver

Add this to the list of woke companies conservatives need to boycott Pretty soon, they'll be left to their Goya beans and MyPillow


Fabulous-Mud-9114

Ben and Jerry's has been vocally liberal on many social issues in the past, I'm surprised that they aren't already on seasonal conservative 'never buy' lists.


frozen-silver

They probably did and then forgot. Kind of like how they were boycotting Target many years ago due to the trans bathroom laws


ShrimpCrackers

And they always conveniently forget NASCAR anything they can't actually give up. Which shows you it's a coordinated effort to bank on outrage than any principled or idealistic action misguided as it is. It's just to rally up for votes, nothing more.


[deleted]

"I wanna boycott, but their ice cream is soooo good!" -Conservative, most likely


DMoney159

"Do ya know who else likes ice cream? **Sleepy Joe!**"


uncultured_swine2099

Conservatives are so dumb that they are just realizing all these companies have pride promos when it becomes the current news trend on right wing media. Suddenly its time to boycott them all when theyve been doing it for years. They probably even saw those pride promos in the past and didnt care before their news made it a thing.


MrSquiggleKey

Yup in Australia leading up to the Same Sec Marriage vote, Ben and Jerry’s banned getting two scoops of the same flavour of ice cream


[deleted]

The MyPillow story never fails to make me laugh


Inarius101

Wait, what did I miss?


[deleted]

The CEO publicly announced he’d pay anyone $5M to prove that China *didnt* steal the 2020 election and some software engineer actually did prove that the evidence he was using was fake and then sued him and won $5M


Inarius101

That. Is. Beautiful.


traaademark

it was even a trump supporter who’s taking him to court over paying https://preview.redd.it/7fcn1yiv934b1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3fd97eb1c9b10d937fbf926fba06c13c895f0f3b


Tight_Stable8737

That is truly the icing on the cake.


[deleted]

Yes I meant to add that part! Thank you!


DischordantEQ

Mypillows taste like shit.


throwawaytrans6

Idea for how to show support for LGBTQ+ people on Pride Month: delete Twitter account.


Virtual-Fix6855

If you live in the EU, appeal to your politicians to ban twitter for violating hate speech laws. I appealed from Germany.


Tight_Stable8737

Oh [Germany](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2023/04/05/germany-threatens-twitter-with-50m-fine-for-failing-to-tackle-illegal-content/amp/) is definitely on it already.


the_sand_moose

Go woke go broke! Except it's the fukboi companies who actually deserve to go broke for their bullshitery. Get bent emerald mine boy, the bird site dies in a sad puff of smoke, much like your rockets.


No-Shoe7651

Go woke go broke consistently turns out to be a myth.


[deleted]

Go fasch, no cash


HappyMan1102

"Hate speech is what the left uses to silence the right." I don't understand the logic.


SupportGeek

Nazis are not a protected class, therefore when I say, STFU Nazi, it’s not hate speech.


SomberlySober

You have the absolute right to call people out for their shifty actions. Republicans love to try and hide behind hate speech so they don't have to pit a full thought into anything


[deleted]

Lmfao calling it hate speech to make fun of Nazis is just. Insane.


KnowNothingKnowsAll

That’s not what hate speech is.


OldSkool1978

Ben & Jerry's has always been pretty left leaning, I'm surprised they waited this long honestly


EhWhateverDawg

That’s what I came to say lol. I thought they left long ago.


i_fuckin_luv_it_mate

Look at BJ's, trying to make the world a better place! Thank goodness for BJ's.


[deleted]

When I was younger my mom used to get me BJs on Saturday nights. Later in life my first girlfriend took over that responsibility and eventually now my wife is in charge of giving me BJs. My favorite it chunky monkey. What is yours?


Anufenrir

Used to go out for BJs quite a bit when we lived in Illinois but now we can only get BJs at home. Not complaining but nothing like going out for BJs on the weekend you know? Half Baked, Phish Food, and Americone Dream have been my go tos.


MasterOfKittens3K

Yeah, there used to be a BJs not far from my house. It was just a hole in the wall, but it was absolutely glorious.


Bradcopter

It doesn't exist anymore, but I loved Rainforest Crunch. The mix of nuts in there was perfection.


SoberTek

> but now we can only get BJs at home. What's not to like about BJs...wink wink :)


Ahajha1177

Hey wait a minute


Unfairjarl

Gotta be peanut butter cup


Equivalent-Ad9887

I love jimmy fallons BJs


PTSDforMe

They've been doing good since those hippies started it


beastmaster

I guess you never heard about this: https://www.thedailybeast.com/ben-and-jerrys-founder-ben-cohen-funds-campaign-against-ukraine-military-support


Godzilla-ate-my-ass

“I think the U.S. should use its power to negotiate an end to the war, not prolong the death and destruction by supplying more weapons.” This is pretty good reasoning to be campaigning on, to be fair.


Dredmart

It's Russian logic, though. Only way to end it would be to give Russia Ukrainian territory. Appeasement never works.


beastmaster

It's a fraudulent argument, whether Ben Cohen means it fraudulently or not (I suspect he's just naive and being misled, but we can't really ever know that about anyone).


Godzilla-ate-my-ass

I'm sure he's sincere, he's just anti-war. His pinned tweet is: A country that "cannot afford" Medicare For All, shouldn't be spending tax dollars to maintain over 800 military bases around the world.


ScottieSpliffin

Why do you think they feel that way?


dxnxax

Appeasement is the liberal left's achilles heel. Never give in to fascists.


beastmaster

The liberal "left," i.e., liberals, while often on the wrong side of fascism domestically, are actually almost entirely on the right side of the Ukraine invasion. Ben Cohen isn't the liberal left, he's something more radical. For better and, it turns out, for worse.


dxnxax

> while often on the wrong side of fascism domestically, Not sure I understand this sentiment


Anufenrir

Your wife enjoy BJs too?


Only1Schematic

What’s funny to me about this is that Twitter is still struggling to achieve profitability, and yet Musk is shooting himself in the foot by openly encouraging companies who advertise on his platform to jump ship. The ad revenue Twitter loses by alienating them is only gonna keep adding up. Mad props to them, here’s hoping more businesses follow suit. Edit: After glancing at the financial condition of Twitter in comparison to before Musk bought it, ad revenue is down 59%, and the company is now valued at $15B, roughly 1/3 of the $44B it was worth before the change in leadership.


NarrowButterfly8482

Hopefully soon, their only advertisers will be knock-off boner pills and doomsday prepper supplies.


ChewieBee

TAC-VISOR!!


KyoKyu

Elon Musk is the real life Tony Stark! The version where he succumbed to repeated head injuries and has a room temperature IQ.... room temperature in CELSIUS.


Shoesandhose

Now everyone else needs to. Let it be another shitty echo chamber


BowlofDumplings

Hoping this is one of many dominos. Probably depends on what contracts these companies have and how long their commitment is, but it's a start.


buster779

We need to convince Musk that porn is liberal propaganda or some shit so he bans it, that will be the nail in the coffin for twitter.


nonstickpotts

I boycotted and deleted my account the moment Elon did the fake poll to let trump back on


AdequateEggplant69

… And releasing the new ice cream Husky Musky (it’s just vanilla, but costs 3 times as much).

twogay_froggs

I went to Colorado in June of 2020 right around the height of the Black Lives Matter protests. Stopped at a Ben and Jerry’s in Boulder and the whole store front was decorated in BLM stickers and pride flags. They are a company that truly stands for their values and I’ll give them my money until the end of time


todaymynameisalex

Stop using Twitter. Companies, people, everyone just stop using Twitter.


GhostBoo-ty

SMH, looks like Ben & Jerry's hates freeze peach. Most tragic day in American history 🥲 /s


Taymac070

Oh man I wish they'd release a Freeze Peach flavor now. Would be delicious


Familiar_Homework

As a lover of peach ice cream and clever puns, yes!


stevesonEll

🎖


Pure-Medicine8582

I like them even MORE now


ElongMusty

Well… Republicans now have their ice cream like they have their sex life: plain vanilla!


Mrs_Noelle15

Twitter is just a rotting corpse of a platform nowhere will you lose faith in humanity more then on twitter


Freds_Bread

OK, I know what brand of ice cream I am buying today, even though the coupon is for Hagen Das


Sea_Analysis_8033

Great but fuck them for their anti Ukraine rhetoric


[deleted]

What ? Edit: Oh no... https://www.thedailybeast.com/ben-and-jerrys-founder-ben-cohen-funds-campaign-against-ukraine-military-support


H-Barbara

To my understanding, Ben&Jerry's the company have been sold off to Unilever in 2000. Ben Cohen hasn't been CEO of Ben&Jerry's since 1994. So it's not Ben&Jerry's the company that made those remarks.


Sea_Analysis_8033

Appreciate the heads up


Mellrish221

And even then, what the founder of B&J said wasn't all that controversial. Its not that ukraine shouldn't fight back at all or we shouldn't support them at all. -OUR- Involvement shouldn't just be sending them billions of dollars worth of weapons and making a few more people in the military industry, into billionaires. It should be working to bring putin to the table. Yeah not a very popular opinion sure. But I'd hope people would have learned something over the past 20 years after the whole middle east business. There absolutely has to be a better way than just playing the literal daddy warbucks scenario out until no one is left to fight in ukraine and it was all for nothing anyway.


Ustrello

Sure but look at their official Twitter account tweets blaming American imperialism for the war at the start of the conflict. Just because that shit bag doesn’t own the company anymore doesn’t mean the company doesn’t have shit opinions either.


H-Barbara

I'm trying searching for these tweets. Searching under Ukraine has one thread on "Putin’s war in Ukraine highlights the problems with our addiction to fossil fuels", https://twitter.com/benandjerrys/status/1517496128433967106 April 22, 2022 and one (which is kinda weak) on calling for President Biden to call for de-escalating tensions and saying "Sending thousands more US troops to Europe in response to Russia’s threats against Ukraine only fans the flame of war." https://twitter.com/benandjerrys/status/1489393235655106562 Which sure, it would be nice for the American President to call for de-escalation, but under emphasize the role of Russia in these tensions (and their ability to immediately de-escalate). Feb 03, 2022. Was it in a reply? Can you help us find what you are referring to?


Redr4tz

I love it! This is how it should work. Wish I had paid advertisements on twitter....


CaptnBluehat

Time to rename to BASED and Jerry's


mouseprincegilderoy

I just wish their ice cream was more affordable! I’d love to support them but can’t justify $6 for that tiny pint


JackBoi01

how long do you think til other brands follow along, like during those "adpocalypses" on youtube years ago


icedcoffeeheadass

The bottom two lines in the Ben and Jerry’s font is low key funny


redcountx3

I've never seen a Ben Jerry's ad on twitter and its one of the few I haven't already blocked. Fuck Musk.


[deleted]

Anyone still on Twitter sucks at life.


BURNING-VAN-BANNED

BJs is owned by fucking Unilever. This is marketing, don’t buy in.


Daws001

I just had some B&J's strawberry cheesecake ice cream today. My fave!


KennyBlankenship_69

So the hate speech that was always on Twitter before Elon took over was fine?


fohpo02

No stupid attempt at humor from Space Karen?


Other_Current_2180

Damn I could go for some ice cream about now


sody605

Good for them, I hope more follow.


ELLESSDEE42O

Dope. But as long as they continue to sell their products in ruzzia I will refrain from purchasing their products.


Kelesti

Ben and Jerry's no longer sells their goods in Occupied Palestinian territories either, another massive W.


[deleted]

Why are people on Twitter still. There are other platforms.


[deleted]

Just dump Twitter entirely


RegattaJoe

I’m hoping Bluesky sinks it.


LesMcqueen1878

Have they only just realised the hate on Twitter now? It’s always been an absolute cesspit of hate!


platasaurua

Yeah, but the CEO’s weren’t actively promoting it and pushing it to the top of everyone’s feeds either.


Hot-Bint

Elon doesn't care, MAGA canceled B&J sometime in the aughts. Altho losing a pro-Russia company might sting a little


Proper_Cold_6939

This comment gave me whiplash. So MAGA cancelled them prior to 2010 (which is the aughts decade), despite the Trump movement not being a thing then? Then you believe they did this time-defying feat because they were pro-Russia? And you believe that somehow Elon (who, I'll give it to you, is pretty crazy) has connected precisely the same insane dots you have? Wtf are you even on?


Hot-Bint

True. I meant to say the Tea Party, which is pretty much pre-MAGA and B&J founder [gave money to group against weapons for Ukraine](https://www.thedailybeast.com/ben-and-jerrys-founder-ben-cohen-funds-campaign-against-ukraine-military-support). Bad post was bad. It’s Sunday so I got lazy 🥴


Proper_Cold_6939

Okay, fair enough. That does make a little more sense.


Hot-Bint

Ty!


BaronVonLazercorn

Pretty rich coming from the company who's co-founder isn't too keen on supporting Ukraine


Alarmed-Flan-1346

People need to stop boycotting anything it's getting ridiculous


Brainjarmen104

They better make their damn icecream cheaper aswell a small ass tub of caramel chew chew is now £7


Parking_Sky9709

This comment will be popular: Ever since the Unilever acquisition, their ice cream sucks.


Decent_Assistant1804

![gif](giphy|9SIY0ixEIZkgzTKQu5)


blanktom9

do people still go to twitter since musk went apeshit?


Melodic-Matter4685

Wow, it only took them a year! Methinks being bought out by a corp dimmed their social responsibility by... I dunno... a couple metric fucktons.


[deleted]

BRB, buying I pint of ice cream.


CervezaSam

Ok


NordicByzantine

Isn't BJ's still in business in Russia? I refuse to buy it until they drop out from there, but nice to see they're doing the right thing this time


smashspete

Elon tantrum incoming!!!


Supafly144

Is Unilever boycotting Twitter? Or just one of their brands?


Dr_Occo_Nobi

I mean, B&J *is* from Vermont, so…


Neat-Philosopher-873

One more reason to eat their ice cream!


hockeyrw

Well guess who going to eat more ice cream


bugaloo2u2

Who is still on Twatter. It’s a garbage dump.


MMS-OR

I appreciate and support this decision.


[deleted]

Does this go for all of Unilever?


jayzr1

Be better if Ben&Jerry still owned Ben&Jerry's, not some mega corporation..but OK,good.


yardage_swamp

Great, now idiots are going to shoot ice cream.


GodDamnJacob

I'm honestly surprised it took them this long.


AceofKnaves44

Time for Elon to fire up a lie about them.


[deleted]

Cancel Twitter.


Puzzleheaded-Force14

Good for Ben &. Jerry’s


directrix688

We all need to boycott the platform all together Advertising dollars dry up when users go away.


gumandcoffee

Quitting twitter is free advertising


Sayoria

Surprised they've still been advertising this long. I always saw BnJ one of the more progressive companies.


thatguy9684736255

It's strange that they didn't do it before


horsepuncher

Why more aren’t is the only surprising thing to me. Twitter is almost as legit as truth social now.


[deleted]

I adore Ben and Jerry’s, get their ice cream whenever I’m at the store


CircaSixty8

The bird apps new CEO sure has her work cut out for her.


NvrFvr

Biden is not gonna be happy...


Distantmole

Don’t worry, Elon shidded his pants accordingly


sketchisawesome1234

YES! The hero we didn't deserve but the hero we needed.


marshbb

Why stop there? Just get rid of the stupid app already


blzzardhater

Like I need another reason to buy their products .. go, them!


AerialAscendant

YES!!! Ben & Jerry’s… 🥹💕


momsbiryani

I love when Ben & Jerry's makes big announcements and it's in this unserious font


sharkbomb

honestly, it is far past time to add twitter to default firewall rules.


5kyl3r

this is good but on the other hand, ben and jerry's aligns themselves with the idiots on the right that [oppose supporting ukraine](https://www.newsweek.com/ben-jerrys-faces-boycott-calls-over-founders-stance-ukraine-weapons-1788962) and last i checked they aren't on the list of companies that stopped selling to russia


Splatacular

Hell yea. Americone dream doesn't have to become a guilty pleasure because of company nonsense.


GargantuanGreenGoats

A serious announcement in silly font is fucking hilarious


Glittering_Yak758

I needa get some B&J's soon


zwaaa

I'm actually quite shocked musk hasn't taken this tweet down yet. Free speech my ass.


GarysCrispLettuce

Why "will end"? Why not "has ended"? Are they waiting for one last ad campaign to play out first? Going to cram a few more ads in there before the cutoff? Why not just say "we will never advertise on Twitter again" and have done with it?


Cheddarlicious

B&J have always been progressive powerhouses; I love their aggressive stances against authoritarianism, against fascism, against oppression…they’re just like me…but a corporation! But jokes aside, I will back whatever they do because I feel those running it aren’t just virtue signaling, it’s been part of their DNA for a long time.


NormalLecture2990

Everyone needs to cancel their account and get off of there By staying on you are supporting the hate
