Actually, I would argue these days it usually gets referenced exclusively to describe politicians who don't represent the same values their cultural background would, usually in a downside.
Don't think Ben and Jerry's is playing some double speak here, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless.
That's the one reason I wasn't all on board with the "Coconut Pilling" when Harris took over the nomination. It's historically a slur. That said, the fact that Harris herself is using it tends to dead end that argument. There's every reason to think Ben & Jerry's is playing off of that.
When asked if they’d ever consider making a flavor after Donald Trump, Cohen told the outlet, “I don’t think it’s proper in polite society for me to talk about what would be in that flavor.”
While a fine name for an icecream flavour, "Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee" also sounds more than a little bit like the title of a porn parody where a bunch of really old white dudes eagerly get topped by a black milf that stares into the camera for an uncomfortably long time, while a recording of Tim Walz explains how to replace the headlights on a 2005 subaru outback and the finer points of grilling top sirloin.
It's actually really obnoxious to do and I highly recommend looking up a couple vids before attempting it - getting that stupid seating ring in the right orientation is as I said, incredibly obnoxious, and my big dumb meat hands can barely fit in the space to manipulate the bulbs. Oh and you have to pull the battery out to get at the driver side running lights. Good cars but there's some really stupid design elements.
Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee features coconut ice cream with swirls of caramel and red, white and blue star-shaped sprinkles. The flavor is inspired by a viral meme, in which Harris, during a speech at the White House, uttered the now-viral quote, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?”
He’s a sassy dad, his flavor would have to be a dad joke. Something like “Balz to the Walz” with malted milk balls. Or “DIY” orange clean flavored ice cream with chocolate sauce streaks.
Seems the CEO has the same all violence is bad take that some of my more left leaning friends have. Violence is a part of life and sometimes you have to inflict it to stop more from happening.
