It seems Ben and Jerry's may be next in the firing line after they made waves with a provocative 4th of July tweet claiming the US is on stolen Indigenous land. Could we witness a downturn similar to Bud Light?

Or is their irresistibly good ice cream strong enough to keep their ship afloat?

Edit: Side note - in the absence of B&J, what ice cream are you turning to? I’m in AUS. So B&J was a game changer. Not anything else like it that I’m aware of.

Not to start a debate, but how many civilizations did the same before? I don't see many Babylonians around.

Not to say that doing it makes it ok, but just because we have written history of some civilizations and not others should be taken into account.
