Unilever, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s, lost billions in market cap after the ice cream brand celebrated July 4th with an unpatriotic tweet about American history.
Unilever’s share price went from $52.32 per share to $51.37 per share, erasing an estimated $2.5 billion in market cap as social media users called for a boycott, according to Google finance data. The packaged goods conglomerate saw its market cap drop from roughly $133 billion to $131 billion because its share price.
Ben & Jerry’s marked July 4th by tweeting that “the US exists on stolen Indigenous land.” It also included a link to a petition on the company’s website about returning Mount Rushmore to the Lakota tribe. The South Burlington, Vermont-based company has not returned its land to any of the Native American tribes recognized by the state.
These degenerates have used their business to promote a litany of other faggotry too including weed legalization.
IMO, this story is a nothing burger. It might have legs if it’s taken down 15%.
I had ONE dish of their crap when dragged into the Burlington VT shop by a left wing extremist aunt.
You kept your back to the wall there.
Why anyone would eat anything but Haagen-Daz is beyond me.
Now a refugee in NH.
Banana Fudge.
I’ve been boycotting them since the 90s
Same here. Haven't bought their crappy ice cream in DECADES. Never liked Bud Light. Fortunately there are many better choices for both.
It was difficult for me to pull away from Target, however. There are so few decent brick and mortar stores left it seems. I *am* boycotting Target though.
Does anyone know if Target sales are still tanking? Last I checked, it looked like their stock was starting to recover.
Dump Unilever Stock ASAP; its going down.
Nice to see the power of the purse in action, keep up the good work, something everyone can get in on no matter what your condition, position or status
Ice cream eaten by poofters and those who sympathize with them.
It it sad that you can not buy Blue Bell there...

Oddly I found Blue Bell ice cream in Dubai in 2005.
