As flavorful as it was, I missed the gooey texture that a swirl would have provided; 2. The "spice" has got to be ginger (the ingredients list "cinnamon" and "natural flavor." Again, I'd bet something dear to me that the "natural flavor" is ginger), and the combo of chocolate, ginger, and brownies -- while surprisingly tasty -- just isn't something I would gravitate to by choice. But it's interesting! I'd recommend that those of you with unlimited caloric budgets and $ give this one a try.AmyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230991804696094425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-74644369745332277972020-06-05T16:28:05.301-04:002020-06-05T16:28:05.301-04:00The flavor of the spicy fudge brownie didn't w...The flavor of the spicy fudge brownie didn't work for me.

If people constantly bring up ben and jerrys politics every time you post about a pint of their ice cream then it sounds like they are doing something wrong and the good they are trying to do is actually backfiring. No I don't see this specific pint as Anti Trump however they have put out Anti Trump pints in the past. <br /><br /><br />For me bottom line. Leave politics and agendas out of food. If the owner wants to donate to a cause by all means go for it. But plastering specifics on the front of pints of ice cream or any food product I disagree with and turns me off. Even if it is a good message such as this one.

Every time I post a Ben & Jerry's flavor on instagram, I have to monitor the comments for those few "rotten apples" who feel that B&J's having an opinion means they can spout racist crap.<br /><br />Again, you are being civilized, but I need to point out, how is this "Anti Trump" ice cream? Is that really how you see it? This pint is about criminal justice reform and nothing else. Why is that wrong? Why is it wrong to want the justice system to be fair? Are you anti-reform? <br />anti-justice? anti-thrifty? Do you like spending billions and billions to incarcerate people?<br /><br />You are entitled to your opinion, I wish you a good day, and feel free to check out<br />https://www.benjerry.com/values/issues-we-care-about Dubba Scoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-50592697232280633202019-10-02T10:34:51.529-04:002019-10-02T10:34:51.529-04:00Don't think Anon was "picking a fight&quo...Don't think Anon was "picking a fight" so much as stating his opinion. With that said I am with him and I read your first paragraph. Im fine with politics and opinions. Im fine with company owners being vocal about where they stand. IE; Chik Fil A. However I dislike it when it crosses over into the product. If Chik Fil A started selling Jesus Juice and Crispy Christian Chicken Id feel the same. When you sell Anti Trump Ice Cream I feel the same. However on the flip side its their product. If they want to use it like that than that is their choice. They do need to realize they will push some folks though. Ice Cream should bring people together. Not apart. Which is funny doing exactly what society is doing today and growing apart rather than bringing people together. <br /><br />The fact that you needed to write the 1st paragraph proves the point.

It happened without an overt choice on my part, I didnt decide to ditch it, but whenever I saw some of the questionable names of the new flavors and the whole amgle they seem to be trying to push lately, I just naturally had a bad feeling when I got to the Ben and Jerrys section. I was going organic anyway before, and this just hastened my conversion.
