Ben & Jerry's Bernie Sanders' Ice Cream Flavor Is Here and It Is Crazy Delicious

Politics has never been more delicious!

Gothamist reports on Ben & Jerry's latest flavor, Bernie's Yearning. The treat was released to support Democratic Presidential hopeful, Bernie Sanders, and Ben & Jerry's founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield came out to NYC this weekend to hand out free scoops of the sweet stuff.

The flavor itself is a creamy mint ice cream base with a solid disc of chocolate on top. "The entire top of Bernie's Yearning is covered with a thick disc of solid chocolate, which represents the huge majority of economic gains that have gone to the top 1%," is how it's described on berniesyearning.com.

If you're not in NYC, there's hope for you yet! Us muggles can enter to win one of the limited-edition pints on the site. And if you are in NYC, it looks like you'll be able to pick up a FREE scoop at Washington Square Park from 4:30-5:30 p.m. today. Hurry! And report back! (And Ben & Jerry's, please make this available as one of your new vegan flavors. I will buy it all!)
