Ben & Jerry's renames ice cream to honor Obama, Biden

Popular ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s is renaming its Butter Pecan ice cream to “Yes Pecan!” to honor the new administration and Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s inspiring slogan “Yes We Can”. The proceeds from the sales will go to a charity.

Ben & Jerry’s has renamed the ice cream blend to “YES PECAN!”, which is a buttery ice cream with roasted pecans. Just like Obama stressed everyone to involve in their communities, Ben & Jerry’s want to do the same by helping Common Cause, which promotes citizen participation in the political process. This blend will be available throughout this month and the proceeds will be donated to the Common Cause Education Fund. Common Cause is a nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy organization founded as a vehicle for citizens to make their voices heard in the political process. They are committed to honest, open and accountable government, as well as encouraging citizen participation in democracy. Their Education Fund conducts research, education, and outreach activities. Check out http://www.commoncause.org to take action. You can also participate in this promotional process by visiting Ben & Jerry’s Facebook page. When you join Common Cause in Facebook, Ben & Jerry’s will donate $1 to the Common Cause Education Fund. And if you donate $1 to Common Cause, Ben & Jerry’s will also donate $1 to them.
