Ben and Jerry’s Offers New Ice Cream Flavor

Yes thats right, in the spirit of President Obama’s inauguration, Ben and Jerry’s has decided to launch a new flavor of ice cream with a cause behind it: Yes Pecan! The flavor, according to Ben and Jerry’s is:

An Inspirational Blend!  Amber Waves of Buttery Ice Cream With Roasted Non-Partisan Pecans.

Ben and Jerry’s has decided to donate all the proceeds from the sales of this new flavor during the month of January to the organization Common Cause, in honor of Barack Obama’s message of open and honest government, and community service.  Further, for every person who joins or donates to the cause, Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream will donate $1.

Common Cause is a non-partisian organization dedicated to keeping the public informed and active in public affairs. Their Mission Statement reads:

To strengthen public participation and faith in our institutions of self-government; to ensure that government political processes serve the general interest, rather than the special interests; to curb the excessive influence of money on government decisions and elections…
