The ever vigilant Steve Benen alerts us that in honor of Barack Obama’s inauguration as President of these United States Ben & Jerry’s is renaming its butter pecan ice cream.
“YES PECAN!” An Inspirational Blend! Amber Waves of Buttery Ice Cream With Roasted Non-Partisan Pecans
Ben & Jerry’s will be donating the proceeds from all January Scoop Shop sales of “Yes Pecan!” to the Common Cause Education Fund.
In addition, for every person who joins Common Cause or donates $1 to the Common Cause Education Fund (presumably during January), Ben & Jerry’s will also donate $1.
Mmmm! Contributing to the public good never tasted so good!
