Could Ben and Jerry’s go down like Bud light, or is their ice cream too darn delicious? (lemmyunchained.net)

It seems Ben and Jerry's may be next in the firing line after they made waves with a provocative 4th of July tweet claiming the US is on stolen Indigenous land. Could we witness a downturn similar to Bud Light?

Or is their irresistibly good ice cream strong enough to keep their ship afloat?

Edit: Side note - in the absence of B&J, what ice cream are you turning to? I’m in AUS. So B&J was a game changer. Not anything else like it that I’m aware of.

Often people use rhetoric like yours to imply the genocide Americans did was just a normal thing that everyone did. Which is a form of genocide apologism. If that isn't what you intended you might consider rephrasing. Sorry for misunderstanding.
