Friday marked a major milestone for same-sex marriage in the U.S. – and ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's is among those celebrating the landmark Supreme Court decision.

The beloved brand's classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream has a new name to honor marriage equality. Relabeled "I Dough, I Dough," the carton depicts interlocking wedding bands, a red heart, rainbow flag and two cows with their tails linked.

"With this ruling, the SCOTUS recognizes the bond of love and commitment between two people, and protects the fundamental rights and freedoms that come with it," Ben & Jerry's said in a press release Friday.

"I Dough, I Dough" will be available throughout the summer at participating stores nationwide and can also be purchased online, according to the company.

I haven’t given a thought to Ben & Jerry’s for about 15 years.

[a fool in paradise]

Raw cookie dough is one way to get e coli. Good choice for gay relations.

More like ‘I doo doo’.

I’m so sick of these people and I’m soooo glad I don’t run with the ‘popular kids’.

Love thinking for myself.

[Politicalkiddo]

Don’t they use pasteurized eggs?

I have never had Ben & Jerrolds Ice Creems and I never will

[Viking2002]

The only good thing that's ever come out of Vermont is white cheddar. The rest is shite!

Shrinkage

One of our competitors (think funny sounding European name) recently announced they will be downsizing their pints from 16 to 14 ounces to cover increased ingredient and manufacturing costs and help improve their bottom line. At Ben & Jerry’s we think downsizing pints is downright wrong. We understand that in today’s hard economic times businesses are feeling the pinch. We also understand that many of you are also feeling the same, and think now more than ever you deserve your full pint of ice cream.

Chocolate on a stick

New flavor for the homo thing?

Let me guess = feces flavored fudge?

[M-cubed]

same ol ice cream...just a little fecal matter added to it for PC flavor

[Kozak]

How about “Rainbow Ass”

[fatnotlazy]

Used to love Ben & Jerry's and could overlook the founders’ obvious uber liberalism for a long time. But then they became increasingly militant. It was obvious that their radicalism was more important than retaining conservative customers, so I gave up their ice cream. Cardiologist said ice cream wad bad for me anyway. Good riddance!

Smells like $hit.

Why didn't they call it "Unnatural Act?"

[Salamander]

Shouldn’t they have chosen a hand packed fudge version?

[Ethan Clive Osgoode]

just a little fecal matter added to it for PC flavor

Actually that's not a joke, tiny amounts of indole compounds are used to add flavor to commercial ice creams and they are the same compounds that make feces smell so wondrously gay.

Reamers Scream ice cream
