A look at Ben & Jerry's 'Churn Out the Vote' ice cream amid the viral Kamala Harris mimic video
Ben & Jerry's is officially endorsing Kamala Harris for the 2024 elections and announced plans to launch an ice cream flavor inspired by Harris, in August 2024. The Vermont-based brand dropped the all-new 'Churn Out the Vote' ice cream a month later on September 12, 2024.
The new flavor was created under the 'Ben’s Best' branding and was an ode to a viral coconut tree meme about Harris. The meme originates from an anecdote about Harris' mother, which she shared at a ceremony in July 2024.
Speaking at the event, Kamala Harris recalled:
“My mother used to — she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, 'I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?' 'You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.'”
The Churn Out the Vote ice cream is a limited-edition flavor created in partnership with the Black Voters Matter Capacity Building Institute (BVM). It features a creamy vanilla ice cream base and is loaded with fudge chips, pretzel swirls, and chocolate mousse ripples.
The Kamala Harris-inspired ice cream flavor can be enjoyed at all Ben & Jerry's scoop shops across the United States till Election Day, November 5, 2024. Fans can also find the new flavor in 16-oz pints for over $6.99 at major retailers such as - Walmart, Target, Dollar Tree, Shoprite, Wallgreens, and more.
Ben & Jerry's ran a limited-time “Scoop the Vote” ice cream truck tour that covered 20 cities across the United States. The tour began in Philadelphia on September 16 and made stops in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Phoenix.
The tour truck distributed free election-themed ice creams and conducted exclusive giveaways to engage people in the vicinity. The tour which was aimed at encouraging people to vote wrapped up on October 16 with a final stop in Las Vegas.
