SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. - Justice ReMix'd is Ben & Jerry's newest flavor, but it's more than just delicious. The ice cream company says it's been created with "a sweet swirl of justice under the lid." The idea is to bring awareness to the justice needed when it comes to systemic racism and criminal justice reform. Ben & Jerry's says a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Justice ReMix'd will go to Advancement Project National Office to support their work in criminal justice reform. The special pints are available in stores and in Ben & Jerry's ice cream shops.

The founders of Ben & Jerry's claim to have the answer, and they've put it inside a new flavor called Hot Cinnamon Ice Cream. It has "one very large chocolate disc on top and a (very stiff) butter toffee backbone going down the middle," according to Sanders' campaign website. The ice cream is not affiliated with the popular ice cream company. Cohen, who is a Sanders campaign co-chair, personally designed the Hot Cinnamon Ice Cream flavor, according to the website. Cohen often jokes that if Sanders is elected president, he will be appointed as "minister of ice cream."
