You can’t buy this Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield masterpiece creation — at least not yet — but 15 lucky contest winners will receive one.
Ben and Jerry’s Bernie’s Yearning ice cream is described as:
plain mint ice cream beneath a solid layer of chocolate on top.
“Nothing is so unstoppable as a flavor whose time has finally come,” Cohen wrote on his Facebook page alongside a picture displaying a pint of “Bernie’s Yearning” ice cream. “Jerry and I have been constituents of Bernie Sanders for the last 30 years,” Cohen said of the longtime Vermont senator.
Of the 40 total pints created, 25 were sent to the Sanders campaign, and the remaining 15 cartons will be provided to contest winners. No news yet from Ben and Jerry headquarters as to whether or not Bernie’s Yearning will ultimately make the regular rotation on a grocery freezer shelf near you.
“There were some problems only coffee and ice cream could fix.”
