It’s called I Dough, I Dough.

On Friday, in response to the Supreme Court’s historic strike-down of state bans for same-sex marriage, the ice cream giant joined the national celebration by renaming “Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough” to “I Dough I Dough.”

PR official Sean Greenwood told ThinkProgress that “for us, marriage equality has been one of the core issues and has been for decades…We wanted to make as big a splash as we could.” Bringing up Ben & Jerry’s progressive reputation for giving employees universal benefits, Greenwood also said “we just want to be a company that treats people the same and treats people equally”

In 2009, the company made one of its first statements on gay marriage by renaming “Chubby Hubby” as “Hubby Hubby” to celebrate the removal of the ban in Vermont. Expanding into other areas of social discussion, the company also previously used their “Get The Dough Out Of Politics” campaign in order to protest the ruling on Citizens United.

      It’s how they work; first, they seduce you with the desserts…..durned HOMOSEKSHULS!

      I want some, too, perhaps we can split a gallon and be gay together.
      The old farmhouse I live in is looking a bit drab and this may be just the thing for me to get some interior decorating ideas!

    RWNJ’s will choose to NOT recognize this new flavor.

      They’d choke on it.

        They prefer bitter flavors, anyway.

          Bitter almond, unsweetened chocolate.

            bitter almond has a proximity to arsenic – might be just what the loonies need.

      Great, more for us.
