We all know the Kamala Harris coconut tree meme, and now the viral moment has inspired a new flavour of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
During a speech last year, the Vice President remarked: “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you," and later gained the internet's attention.
After sparking a flood of memes, the moment has since been commemorated with the new ice cream flavour aptly called Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee, the Ben & Jerry's co-founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, announced.
If you're wondering what the meme-worthy ice cream contains, it is coconut flavour (in homage to the coconut tree Harris referred to) and also has caramel swirls along with some patriotic red, white, and blue star-shaped sprinkles.
The Ben & Jerry's flavour has been released together with the political advocacy group MoveOn with the aim to encourage people to register to vote for the upcoming election in November.
