Number of pints of a new ice cream flavor called “Bernie’s Yearning” that were made by Ben & jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen, according to his website, Bloomberg reports. The flavor is a pint of mint ice cream beneath a “thick disc of solid chocolate,” according to the packaging. “The chocolate disc represents the huge majority of economic gains that have gone to the top 1% since the end of the recession.
