Yes, We Can Pecan!!!

Filed under: Media Minute > Politik

2009yespecan.jpg

Ben & Jerry's is hoping to cash in on Obama fever. Are we still feverish about him??? But at least their using some of the proceeds for a good cause!

If you recall, B&J offered Americans a free scoop of ice cream last November on election day.

Well, now the company is coming out with a new ice cream flavor.

They're playing off the "Yes, We Can" theme with their flavor called "Yes, Pecan."

B&J is partnering up with the nonprofit Common Cause, an advocacy organization which helps citizens make their voices heard in the political process.

Proceeds from the sale of "Yes Pecan" in the month of January will go to the Common Cause's Education Fund.

Common Cause chief executive Bob Edgar said "Common Cause is excited to work with Ben & Jerry's to spread a spirit of activism and optimism that we believe can make our government work for the common good as it tackles the big issues of the day. An engaged citizenry is crucial for a healthy democracy."

The ice cream is described as "YES PECAN! An Inspirational Blend! Amber Waves of Buttery Ice Cream With Roasted Non-Partisan Pecans."

And according to B&J's website, "In addition to the flavor in Scoop Shops, for every person who joins Common Cause or donates $1 to the Common Cause Education Fund, Ben & Jerry’s will also donate $1."

Sounds good to us - and yummy too!

    LG'S STUPIDITY AND POMPOSITY CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED, THOUGH MANY HAVE TRIED. YOU SEE THE MOULD BROKE WHEN LG PECKED HERSELF OUT OF THE PLATYPUS EGG FROM WHICH SHE WAS HATCHED, WEARING A CHIGNON, EATING GHIRARDELLI CHOCOLATES, WEARING A PEARLY NECKLACE OF "ASSUME THE POSITION'S" SPOOGE, AND A FEMININE NAPKIN.
    CHOEURS DIABOLIQUES WERE SINGING DAHLINGS!
    .
    NOW GO AWAY FIERCE AND BRILIANT IMPOSTOR–BUT NEVER AS FIERCE, NOR AS BRILLIANT AS THE ONE, THE ONLY, THE ORIGINAL DIRTY SANCHEZ-WEARING, SMEGMA ON A CRACKER EATING, CHODE GOBBLER–LG!

    Posse Info 101:
    1) HarryBalsac and BBD are the same person and others and they are a FEMALE! RACIST! Complete Barf Bags! Yep TRUE!
    2) Milky Milk is a pathetic idiot and her husband fucks around! She has the blackest of hearts and is seen as a shit stain in her community! RACIST! Shits on herself after taking several laxatives to stay skeletal! TRUE!
    3) Sweetpiece is a granola with a pure heart but is viewed as odd by some! She really wants to make a difference in the world! One of the nicest! TRUE!
    Next lesson tomorrow!

  31. 31

    Really, why the Ben and Jerry's post???



  32. 32

    The ice cream really is catchy…grabbed my attention.



  33. 33

    For this one I have to say that the ads are more interesting.



  34. 34

    IQ tests must be big business.



  35. 35

    More Lib propaganda



  36. 36

    Welcome to the new Soviet Union, propaganda, glorifying Obama like he's a celebrity and Messiah all wrapped into one and complete intolerance, disdain and persecution for anyone who speaks out against Obama, especially for Conservatives and the religious right.



  37. 37

    Conservatives are the ones trying to stop Obama's trillion dollar "stimulus" which is nothing but BORROWING/printing money which does nothing! look at Japan/Europe who tried this and it FAILED. DID you see Obama's press conf yesterday? He wouldnt even allow questions about CIA pick Panetta.



  38. 38

    30% of America is illiterate, making it that much easier for Obama to brainwash you with zombie-esqu propaganda slogans like 'hope, change' etc. A politician wont save you, gov't won't save you.



  39. 39

    Did they even consider ice cream that tastes like KFC with a BBQ Sauce topping?



  40. 40

    COMMENT FOR JAYSUN82–NUMBER 39: You hit the nail on the head with your great comments. Obama's idea for CHANGE will equal CHANGE in your pocket rather than that PAPER STUFF. But don't worry he and mama will make out okay?



  41. 41

    Looks like I'm crossing B&J off my list.



  42. 42

    BJ, lolz!1.
    um yeah, so… pecan… sounds pretty dec.



  43. 43

    "But at least their using some of the proceeds for a good cause!"

    You mean:
    "But at least THEY'RE using some of the proceeds for a good cause!"

    I'd worry less about celebrities and more about your grasp of the English language



  44. 44

    Paragraph 1: It's "they're," not "their," in this context, you illiterate fuck.
