They holed the carton from the bottom and then the ..............never mind.

[the invisib1e hand]

anybody forcing you to buy it - yet?

[antiRepublicrat]

IIRC, they got a regular corporate type as CEO, but they still have a hand in the business.

[antiRepublicrat]

They put a glory hole in the side and...

That’s a flavor: Glory Whole Fudge, with whole chunks of fudge.

I think you're correct... makes sense.

[nufsed]

I've got to stop reading these threads.

Lifetime chocoholic.

[3catsanadog]

What are those chocolate things? Colons?

[MrB]

There are social pressures to be “pro-gay” and pro gay “marriage”.

You can lose your job and livelihood if you hold the wrong viewpoint on this issue.

[a fool in paradise]

“diversity training” is corporate political re-education.

[markomalley]

I think I’ll just stick with my lemon gelato, thanks.

[a fool in paradise]

"Mmmmm, ice cream!"

[DMG2FUN]

Hit them where it counts. Stop buying their products. Then stop giving to any charity they promote.

[Antoninus]

Nothing better than a little pop-culture preachiness with dessert.

[naturalized]

...they still have a hand in the business.

rather unfortunate turn of phrase, don't you think?

I’ll stick to Breyer’s or Perry’s or Ma’s homemade coconut icecream.

[jonrick46]

Good night! Talk about subliminal messages on the carton. Makes me want to quit ice cream.

[betty boop]

I find "Ben and Jerry" so annoying that I stopped buying their product years ago. I've never once missed not having it.

I don't need my "consciousness raised" by inane, mindless mantras on an ice cream box. Such rank propaganda is an insult to one's intelligence.

LOL!!!
