Ben & Jerry’s bans same scoop flavors until Australia legalizes same-sex marriage

RT reports:

Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream really wants same-sex marriage legalized in Australia so it did what any company would do – ban customers from ordering two scoops of the same flavor.

The duo behind the brand have often used their product to support political and social causes, but this is the first time they’ve gone so far as to deprive people of their preferred scoop combination.

“We are banning two scoops of the same flavor and encouraging our fans to contact their MPs to tell them that the time has come – make same sex marriage legal! Love comes in all flavours!" the company announced on its website.

From now on, none of the 26 Australian Ben & Jerry’s stores across the country will serve anyone two of the same flavors.

“Imagine heading down to your local Scoop Shop to order your favourite two scoops of Cookie Dough in a waffle cone,” Ben & Jerry’s said. “But you find out you are not allowed...You’d be furious!”

“But this doesn’t even begin to compare to how furious you would be if you were told you were not allowed to marry the person you love.”

Ben & Jerry’s has set up post boxes in their stores to allow customers to send postcards to local MPs expressing their support for marriage equality.

No word yet on what Ben & Jerry's will demand next.
