Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen is a longtime supporter of presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, which isn’t much of a surprise since one of them set up shop in Vermont, and the other represents the state in the U.S. Senate.
While Cohen no longer creates creamy concoctions for the company he started with Jerry Greenfield, they’re still churning out frozen desserts independently, and their latest flavor found inspiration once again via the presidential candidate and his progressive agenda.
“Bernie’s Back” is the second ice cream created to support Sanders; the first was developed during the 2016 presidential campaign Cohen and released as “Bernie’s Yearning.” They sell both flavors under his personal label “Ben’s Best,” a brand unaffiliated with Ben & Jerry’s (which Unilever owns and operates).
