Vermont ice cream innovators Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield dropped by Boston Herald Radio to tout the Democratic flavor of the month — presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and Bernie’s Yearning.

Q: You guys started Ben & Jerry’s many years ago, and now you’re Bernie Sanders supporters?

Jerry: We’re big Bernie supporters. We’ve been constituents of Bernie’s for over 30 years in Vermont, so we have seen him firsthand, and it’s actually the first time Ben and I have campaigned for a presidential candidate. We’ve never been as excited or motivated to campaign for anyone and we are all-in for Bernie. We’ve been in Iowa, we’ve been in Minnesota, we’ve been in New Hampshire, we’re about to spend three days in Massachusetts, so we are feeling the Bern.

Ben: You know, he’s not a politician in the normal sense of the word. A guy like this comes along maybe once a generation, and we have an opportunity to support a guy who’s really got the interests of everyday Americans at heart. And so, the least we can do is to go out there and do everything we can to get him elected, and people who support him need to get to the polls, that’s the big thing. You know, it’s not enough to just say I like him, you’ve got to get to the polls.

Q: Hillary Clinton has over 500 delegates because of the superdelegates. Bernie only has 70 delegates going forward, even though he blew out Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire by 22 points, with close losses in Iowa and Nevada. … Bernie talks about a rigged economy. Does it seem like a rigged primary process?

Jerry: … There’s a lot of momentum. March 1st, Super Tuesday, is going to be great. So, Ben and I are tremendously psyched. I mean Ben has been so inspired, he even came up with a flavor of ice cream … and Ben has of course made some of the greatest flavors in the history of humankind. Cherry Garcia, New York Superfudge Chunk, Phish Food, but Ben has gone beyond all of this with his Bernie flavor.

Ben: I mean, the deal with Bernie’s Yearning is that it’s a participatory flavor. You open up the lid, and there’s this huge disk of solid chocolate covering the entire top of the pint, and below it is just mint ice cream. That huge disk on top represents all the wealth that’s gone up to the top 1 percent since the end of the recession, and the plain ice cream on the bottom is the rest of us, and when you eat it, as you take a soup spoon and you whack the chocolate disk into a lot of little pieces, and then you mix it around, that’s how you get Bernie’s Yearning.
