I visited their factory back in the early 90's. I've never bought their crap since then.

So what was it exactly that caused you to give up their ice cream? Aside from the fact that Ben and Jerry look like Cheech and Chong and the Dairy Industry had a baby.

Blue Bell Ice Cream here in Texas is pretty much the best I've had.

I don't eat ice cream unless it's in a chocolate malt so I'm not going to affect their sales.....but if I did I would never buy from them again.

I followed the link on the site. Kolin Kraperneck has his own cash cow going
for him while he incites a new generation of anti-American activists.

My fav ice cream is Tilamook. My dad was an ice cream salesman - I know good high butterfat ice cream. B&J is not bad better than most mass market stuff. But over priced for what it is.

What happened to the trend of licking ice cream and putting it back on the shelf?

Some of the names they gave their products smacked of far left political crap. After speaking with a few people there and then doing some investigating i decided my money was not going to support their views.

Just like I've not owned a pair of Levi's for 3 decades.

Blue Bell is fine stuff.


I do find it pretty easy to avoid companies that are the worst offenders. Dick's, Starbucks, Ben and Jerry's, Nike, many others won't get my nickels. I struggle with Levi's though. Mostly worn 501s since high school. I'd love to cut them loose but can't find a suitable substitute.


I'm down with Goya though, especially with their employ of the month award.

Blue Bell FTMFW! Breyers and Tillamook aren't bad, I'll occasionally pick up a carton when they go on sale.

The two that started this company were super liberals. When they sold it they got people just as liberal as new owners.

Way too many companies out there that I do not have to support their idiocy!
