Vermont ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s is honoring football quarterback Colin Kaepernick with a new flavor blending his civil rights activism and non-dairy, vegan appetite.
“Change the Whirled” a mix of caramel sunflower butter, fudge chips, graham crackers and chocolate cookies will raise money for Kaepernick’s “courageous work to confront systemic oppression and to stop police violence against Black and Brown people,” the company said in a statement Thursday.
Kaepernick, formerly of the San Francisco 49ers, sparked headlines in 2016 by kneeling in protest during the national anthem to shed light on police brutality against minorities.
