More subtly diabolical: turn the tubs at the front of the display around 180 degrees. Most people aren't attentive enough to buy a product if they don't instantly see the brand logo.
The result: the tubs aren't destroyed, but they aren't bought either. Grocery Stores don't replace Ben & Jerry's ice creams as fast as they do other brands, and Ben & Jerry's loses out much more than they would if their product were destroyed.
The initial supply sure. But if you hide it well enough, it doesn't ever get purchased or marked as a loss, it doesn't end up in the store's inventory auto fulfillment.
Keep in mind that Wally has a gazillion cameras on every isle. I'm sure if enough people do this, they'll be looking for people that do it. Not taking a position, but if you're caught on camera and prosecuted or trespassed, could get embarrassing or expensive.
Even if you take it and walk around the store for a bit, then drop it in the shoe isle, their security/shrinkage group can go back and see you put it there, then track you to the register, pull up the transaction, and assuming you didn't pay with cash, profit.
I'm actually making the opposite point. Like, I work at Walmart. Ben and Jerry already made their money when we bought it from them. When it melts, it's marked out as Shrink, reduces my quarterly bonus, and then Walmart buys more from Ben and Jerry to fill the market demand. It would take a very long time for Walmart to experience a sufficient loss on that product (and they would meter it by specific varieties, so if, say, all of "Steven Colbert's Americone Dream" is found melted for months, they may nix it... but they'll just bring in more "Cherry Garcia," which hasn't seen any loss, and has been more popular than ever before. And for those months, cue to increased shrink, every associate in the store's bonus has probably dropped by an amount determined by thresholds. Maybe their bonus has dropped by 10 bucks... maybe it's dropped 150, depending on how much they were above the next gradient.
So if you want to punish Ben and Jerry for their preachy bullshit, don't melt their icecream... just call Walmart Corporate and let them know that you find Ben and Jerry's overt politics offensive, and that you won't be buying any of their products in any Walmart stores. Walmart takes customer complaints very seriously, as Customers = Income. If enough people were to call in and calmly explain that they will continue to shop at Walmart, but will only be buying other brands of Ice Cream (and suggest some patriotic ones if you know any!) Ben and Jerry will receive reduced shelf space, less frequent orders, and less promotion... which will lead to reduced sales, which will result in less justification in keeping them around at all.
Basically: Slay the Dragon with the thing it hates most: CAPITALISM. Glorious, Free Market Capitalism!
I fucking hate advertising. As if that doucheface Kaepernick wasn't bad enough...they show the product overflowing the container. The lid wouldn't fit on top of that.
Breyer’s, Haagen-daz, fuck, I’d buy Halo-Top before fucking Ben and Jerry’s. Actually, one of the best ice cream pints I buy all the time is Velvet’s Cookies and Cream, better than Breyer’s Oreo in my opinion. Breyer’s is stingy with the Oreos, and fuck Oreo anyway, with their LGBTLMNOP rainbow cookies.
I’m kind of a connoisseur of gas station ice cream pints...
Fortunately, I get to choose between Tillamook ice cream and Umpqua ice cream (both are Oregon brands, neither are political, and the former comes from the same folks who make the famous cheese. Either is 100x better than that shit B&J, and only half the cost. So yeah, fuck B&J.)
I think that would just hurt the stores that purchased the ice cream in bulk.
One could:
*call grocers headquarters and ask that they terminate any procurement agreements with B&Js (ugh... I just now got why it’s Ben and Jerry and not Jerry and Ben... degenerates)
*review bomb their product everywhere
*call B&Js offices and ask if they can comment on the HIV viral load of their ice cream. Record and post results
As a proud Cincinnatian, may I suggest Graeter’s Ice Cream for all of my fine American Patriots. It is hand made right here in Cincy & it’s hands down the best ice cream you’ll ever have.
That doesn't affect Ben & Jerry's at all. Instead you screw over the store. The store buys the product from the supplier and then sells it. If the item is damaged or doesn't sell, the store ends up eating those costs. And they get the ice cream in stock because there is a demand for it from customers.
You would do better to stick to encouraging people not to buy the brand. Doing what you suggest is just blind lashing out but harming the wrong target.
I'm not asking you to go to fucking small local shops and telling you to throw the ice cream in the toilet and then rub it in their face. Use your brain. Go to Walmart and do it. If you care about Walmart then idk what to tell you.
Again, I see no point in lashing out like this. It's petty and not hitting your intended target. It's not unlike the same mentality of "it's fine to shoplift, because-" insert your excuse here. Like "this grocer is rich" or "fuck capitalism" or what have you. I'm not going to rob someone of their money. Which is what destruction of something that doesn't belong to you is. It's robbery.
I still don't agree with the actions you are proposing.
Just like how I wouldn't agree with it if BLM/Antifa was going into any store and destroying cans of Goya or "MyPillow" products. It isn't justified to destroy and steal to express your political outrage.
That is all. Yes I am petty, no I won't stop.

Petty, small, and mean.....I like it..:) LOL!
They would still get the profits. You would be hurting the stores
Only temporarily. Eventually the store will not take the risk of ordering any more.
The initial supply sure. But if you hide it well enough, it doesn't ever get purchased or marked as a loss, it doesn't end up in the store's inventory auto fulfillment.
Have you walked past it in the store? If so, you are eligible to take part in this.
Leave it in the bakery section. That’s the warmest. Lol.
kek
This garbage isn’t even ice cream. Non dairy frozen dessert lol
Then go to a big box store and do it? Fuck a large chain store, lets be honest.
Use your head.
They mean only do Wal-Mart and Target. They can suck it.
Keep in mind that Wally has a gazillion cameras on every isle. I'm sure if enough people do this, they'll be looking for people that do it. Not taking a position, but if you're caught on camera and prosecuted or trespassed, could get embarrassing or expensive.

And use cash. And cover tag on car incase they follow you to your car... And... Pass
they will refreeze it and put back in the ice cream freezer.
And I will take it out and melt it.
the point is it freezes solid if it isnt being churned
which punishes rightly any cuck that purchases it
Legend
Nah, they'll have to chuck it, in accordance with cold-chain safety protocols.
All in then.

Love this! You bet I will do This
overpriced crap by crap for crap and then you will crap all over yourself. crap.

Lol 😂 Simple af

Breyer's is sort of gross. Lot's of additives.
Haagen daz is my go to. Strawberry is my favorite.
Nah dawg. Dreyer's is gross too. But Breyer's is also gross.
Or maybe it's regional. I know for fact that breyers in my area is yuck. I can look on the ingredient list of breyer's vanilla and it's a mile long.
Yeah, that's a lot of extra ingredients.
You're fake news dude.
You cherry picked that.

Choose the option for the 5 Ingredient line.
Strawberry: Ingredients: Cream, Skim Milk, Strawberries, Cane Sugar, Sugar, Egg Yolks.
Change the world 90g of sugar at a time.
Gladly.
I have never seen anyone punished for leaving ice cream or meat elsewhere in a store.
HEY- Only do this at large chain stores That support BLM/COMMIE bs
List anyone?
Hey, I thought that too, then saw this - the CEO was on Rogan, he’s a STAUNCH capitalist and VERY anti socialist ! Whodathunk?!?

I only eat Bluebell. Sorry Yankees. It's the best ice cream ever, but they only sell it in the South.
This man just hijacked the post with pure truth.
Cope Yankees.
Woman, but thank you all the same :)
Non-dairy frozen dessert. What a little bitch.
Haven’t eaten that overpriced bullshit in years
No, don't do that to some poor stockboy or girl who'll have to clean it up!! DX
As a proud Cincinnatian, may I suggest Graeter’s Ice Cream for all of my fine American Patriots. It is hand made right here in Cincy & it’s hands down the best ice cream you’ll ever have.
On IT!!!

The promo video for this flavor of "ice cream" is one of the most unintentionally funny things I've ever seen.
Here you go: Ready to Change the Whirled? | Ben & Jerry's
..who knew police brutality, white supremacy and (yes) systemic racism had a flavor? I bet it tastes like poop.
Trying to force global communism again
Just put a few in the bottom of carts full of dry goods from the other side of the store. By the time they unpack the b and j, it'll be ruined.
Gave up that commie bullshit ice cream 15 years ago
How the hell does that harm Ben & Jerry’s? The store already paid for the product.
Stores would simply start protecting the product from vandals by displaying it in a case accessible only to staff.
You know you could just boycott the product.
I'll just turn the political ones upside down and leave the rest as is since people will yell at me for doing what you said lmao
Don't hurt your local business by destroying the products they bought for their store. Just buy another brand from them.
So that some $15/hr schmoe has to clean it up? What did he ever do to you?
Yes.
THIS makes you not a nice person...
please take that back :(
Based thinking. I was just trying to met ice cream pede.
There’s nothing to clean up. It melts and stays in the tub.
He makes $15 whether he throws out ice cream or restocks pickles. He’s on the clock. Chill.
It does fuck out bonuses, though...
Don't fucking do this.
Think of the poor workers who have to clean this bullshit up. I thought we didn't truck with fucking with the common man?
There’s nothing to clean. Test it for yourself. It melts and stays in the tub.
Woah there, don't use your brain.
It fucks up my quarterly bonus, though, and Ben and Jerry already got their money when they sold it to the store.
Using it more than you.
I'm offended.
Disregarding all the things from this that will cause a mess.
You aren't hurting Ben and Jerry's like this. They already got their sale.
Briefly. But eventually stocking B&J will be a bad business decision.
Thank you. I'm not the only one thinking this way.
