Could Ben and Jerry’s go down like Bud light, or is their ice cream too darn delicious? (lemmyunchained.net)

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.

The people who hate "woke" B&J will go buy a different dessert product owned by Unilever. Believing that B&J actually is "woke" instead of a calculated marketing campaign from Unilever is hilarious.

This is definitely true to a degree, but it's worth pointing out that Ben And Jerry's is ran independently from Unilever and is pretty separated in terms of the way they run their business and they have a separate "ethics board" which has the final say over what Unilever is allowed to make B&J do.
