Star Spangled Ice Cream

Star Spangled Ice Cream was an American ice cream company. They marketed their ice cream as a politically conservative alternative to Ben & Jerry's which the founders felt to be too liberal.[1][2] Similarly to Ben & Jerry's, the names of the ice cream were puns, usually plays on conservative phrases and ideas, such as "Smaller Governmint", "I Hate the French Vanilla," "Navy Battle Chip," "Bill Clinton Im-peach" and "Choc & Awe".[3] The company donated 10% of its profits to organizations that it felt supported the United States Armed Forces.[4]

Reception

The Star Spangled Ice Cream company received both criticism and praise through email, both of which were posted on their now-defunct website.[5] Ted Nugent had said that he was a fan of the "Gun Nut" flavor.[6]

gollark: Greetings, mortal.
gollark: Apparently having music functions is very trendy in Discord bots, so I just have six of them streaming random YouTube videos into my brain.
gollark: Also bad.
gollark: Okay.
