BERNIE's YEARNING
NEW limited edition
Cohen ( from Ben and Jerry) has talked about the prospect of creating a Sanders-themed frozen treat for several months now. On the website www.berniesyearning.com Cohen unveiled pictures of the new ice cream and said he's made 40 pints, 25 of which were donated to the Sanders campaign. People can enter a contest to win the remaining pints, which will be autographed by Cohen himself.
Here's how the flavor is described on the carton:
"The entire top of this pint is covered with a thick disc of solid chocolate. Underneath is plain mint ice cream. The chocolate disc represents the huge majority of economic gains that have gone to the top 1% since the end of the recession. Beneath it, the rest of us."
There are also eating instructions:
"1. Take back of spoon and whack huge chocolate disc into lots of pieces. 2. Let the ice cream soften up a bit, mix the pieces around - and there you have it, Bernie's Yearning. 3. Dig in, and share it with your fellow Americans!"
