#3 The real culprits are the Unilever bosses, I'm told. The ice cream distributor was bypassed and the directions for this BDS shit came from London directly. My info is only hearsay though.

Of course, examples must be made. It's just an ice cream, like Bennet said.

#7 agreed, as much as the US government has meddled over the years, we have no place to talk.

#10 I've been doing my part since the brand was created - don't give me any of that tree-hugging hippy crap!

#11 Those at #9 are good, but my vote for best is 'Rachel Corey And Cream', SteveS.

#12 Pretty much boycotted them from birth, too, though I vaguely recall a good mint item, and about once a decade I'll backslide and buy a pint of...

Don't pick me no Cherries Garcia!
I'd rather be sharin' sharia
Or shit or Shinola
With an old ayatollah
And lickin' his sticky taqiyyah.

That said, if they'd named it "Churchill Chocolate Cherry Cheerio," I'd be dead twenty years now.

#13 since B&J won't be boycotting until late 2022, I don't think any of the State anti BDS laws will apply now

also since B&J will, post 2022, continue to be sold in pre 1967 Israel I'm not even sure this will constitute a 'boycott' under the various laws

Interestingly, Unilever owns several of the ice cream biggies, e.g., Magnum, Breyers, Carte d'Or and Popsicel as well as B&J,
