Ben & Jerry's Co-founders Launch Harris-Inspired Ice Cream

By    |   Thursday, 12 September 2024 10:57 AM EDT

The co-founders of Ben & Jerry's is launching a Kamala Harris-inspired ice cream flavor in partnership with MoveOn, which also will use an ice cream truck to tour key battleground states and encourage voter registration.

Get ready for "Kamala's Coconut Jubilee," a coconut caramel ice cream topped with red, white, and blue star sprinkles.

Set to kick off Monday in Philadelphia with Ben & Jerry's co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the "Scoop the Vote" ice cream truck tour will hit 20 key battleground states including Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada, according to USA Today.

Cohen created the flavor under the "Ben's Best" label, which is not affiliated with the Ben & Jerry's ice cream brand. 

At each stop, fans can win limited-edition pints of Kamala's Coconut Jubilee.

Why coconut? Harris recenty went viral simply for asking "You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?"

She uttered the phrase on May 10, 2023, at the swearing of the President’s Advisory Commission on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics.

"There's a ton of folks that are already tuned into this election, and then there's a vast, vast set of folks that aren't," Rahna Epting, executive director of MoveOn told USA Today, noting that the tour is an effort to engage voters and urge potential voters to register and cast their ballots in the 2024 presidential election. 

Volunteers will work at every stop of the "Scoop the Vote," speaking about the upcoming November election and policies, as well as policies, the economy, and reproductive rights.

"We're not going to win this election through New York Times op-eds. We're not going to win this election through pushing out smart tweets," Epting said. "We're going to win this election by actually talking to the voters that we know that if they turn out to vote, they are way more likely to vote for Harris-Walz than Donald Trump."

With President Joe Biden out of the presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are now locked in a close race. Harris has a slight lead nationally, but the race is tight in several key battleground states.
