My fave flavor of ice cream: Vanilla.

I used to actually love coffee ice cream as a kid — In fact, I still do. But I love vanilla more — I guess I’m getting more plain vanilla with age –

Anyway — You may already’ve known that you can get fair trade coffee-flavored ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s. Coffee, Coffee Heath Bar Crunch, and Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz, to be more specific.

Now, the company’s expanded their fair trade ice cream offerings to include Vanilla and Chocolate :)

The Vanilla’ll hit Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops this month; the Chocolate in December. Both’ll be available in supermarkets and grocery stores in January 2007.

So — This means that Ben & Jerry’s is now buying fair trade coffee, cocoa, and vanilla from co-ops! Which is like yay!

And which also makes me ask — What ’bout the sugar? Cuz Ben & Jerry’s UK’s already using fair trade certified sugar for its vanilla ice cream.

Do we ice cream lovers in the US not deserve fair trade sugar? No fair! :P

In any case, I’m glad that an awesome and yummy company like Ben & Jerry’s is making fair trade a bigger part of its company. In fact, Ben & Jerry’s has info ’bout fair trade month on the front of its site.

So — I’m gonna write Ben & Jerry an email saying thanks, can’t wait for the new ice cream! And also — can I have some fair trade sugar with that, pretty please –
