Ben is a living person. Jerry is a living person. Ben and Jerry's is a corporation (and corporations are not living people)

The meme is a Sanders quote from a speech he made at Ben and Jerry's headquarters!

and Bernie said this exact thing himself, which so elegantly illustrates that corporations are not people (though Ben and Jerry's Soylent Green Cream is people). To me it is a great meme, YMMV of course.

Don't you eat ice-cream?

Remember flavors like "Cherry Garcia" "Chunky Monkey"?

They're sorta known for making and naming flavors that are whimsical....and even political, like "Yes Pecan".

Run out and buy some NOW!!!!!
