MANHATTAN, NY — So this is happening. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, beloved Brooklyn Jews and founders of the funky ice-cream empire Ben & Jerry's, are getting out the vote this Thursday for fellow beloved Brooklyn Jew and presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders by HANDING OUT FREE, BERNIE SANDERS-THEMED ICE CREAM SUNDAES IN NYC.
"Swing by Union Square tomorrow at 5 p.m.," Cohen tweeted Wednesday night, alongside a photo of "Bernie's Yearning," the Bernie-approved flavor created especially for Bernie and his stans.
Cohen then added, in another tweet, that the ice cream would come in sundae form — and that it would be free.

"Bernie's Yearning is essentially mint chocolate chip ice cream. However, all the chips have somehow floated to the top," Cohen told NPR earlier this month.
"The way you eat it," he said, "is you take your soup spoon and you whack it into a bunch of little pieces, and then you mix it around and have a more equitable distribution of wealth."
But guys. Why are y'all still reading this. Go claim your free sugar buckets, soldiers.
