When asked if they’d ever consider making a flavor after Donald Trump, Cohen told the outlet, “I don’t think it’s proper in polite society for me to talk about what would be in that flavor.”

[–] Fester@lemm.ee 44 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It’s 2024. You can talk about Cheetos and urine.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Full of shit and ketchup and gasoline.

And rib meat chicken

I fucking love Ben & Jerry. Two real motherfuckers. I will always spend the extra couple bucks for their product.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Cheetos-dusted darrhea with rancid fast food grease swirls?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Blue Bell already made a Trump flavor. It was called Listeria.

[–] Mobiledecay@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Call it Trumps dick. All the Maga idiots will buy it out! 😁

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What is the flavor "it looks like orange, but is actually just a tub of shit"

Would it be possible to make biased poison?

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 38 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

While a fine name for an icecream flavour, "Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee" also sounds more than a little bit like the title of a porn parody where a bunch of really old white dudes eagerly get topped by a black milf that stares into the camera for an uncomfortably long time, while a recording of Tim Walz explains how to replace the headlights on a 2005 subaru outback and the finer points of grilling top sirloin.

How do you replace the headlights on a 05 Outback?

Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee features coconut ice cream with swirls of caramel and red, white and blue star-shaped sprinkles. The flavor is inspired by a viral meme, in which Harris, during a speech at the White House, uttered the now-viral quote, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?”

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds good

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 36 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Seth Meyers mentioned this last week. He also said that they released a flavor for Tim Walz as well: Plain.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 11 points 3 weeks ago

He’s a sassy dad, his flavor would have to be a dad joke. Something like “Balz to the Walz” with malted milk balls. Or “DIY” orange clean flavored ice cream with chocolate sauce streaks.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't know... Would it be possible to make hotdish flavored ice cream?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I don't want to know.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

But I don’t like coconut. It’s not the flavor it’s the consistency.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's coconut flavored ice cream so probably doesn't actually have bits of coconut in it.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 10 points 3 weeks ago

There's still a PTSD-like reaction to the flavor of coconut, at least for me.

[–] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Then there's people like me, who love Outshine's coconut bars because it has tons of shredded coconut in it.

[–] Arsinoe@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Same! I also like orange juice with extra pulp.

[–] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yessss. Tropicana grovestand, even better if it's fresh squeezed!

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Oooooooh yeah

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

You make me sick!

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

More for me then

So where are these sold? Are there grocery stores that stock political ice cream?

[–] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The article said a MoveOn ice cream truck traveling through key swing states.

I like coconut. Not sure about a caramel swirl. Really not sure about red, white, and blue sprinkles, as those just taste like sweet food dye.

[–] match@pawb.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

and kamala's a foodie, I'd expect something a little more interesting, like maybe plantain chunks

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

A disappointment. I'm not a swing state, but was really hoping to try some coconut ice cream!

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago
[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago

Caramel and berries.

(Sounds a bit like Kamala Harris. If you pronounce it 'carmul'.)

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Coconut flavor

Slang: Disparaging and Offensive. a person of color, especially a person of Latin American or South Asian origin or descent, who is regarded as having adopted the attitudes, values, and behavior thought to be characteristic of middle-class white society, at the expense of their ethnic heritage. Compare Oreo.

Actually, I would argue these days it usually gets referenced exclusively to describe politicians who don't represent the same values their cultural background would, usually in a downside.

Don't think Ben and Jerry's is playing some double speak here, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

That's the one reason I wasn't all on board with the "Coconut Pilling" when Harris took over the nomination. It's historically a slur. That said, the fact that Harris herself is using it tends to dead end that argument. There's every reason to think Ben & Jerry's is playing off of that.
