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. Beneath it, the rest of us.” Cohen donated 25 pints to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sander’s campaign. The flavor is not an official Ben & Jerry’s product, Cohen says.

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ lead over Hillary Clinton’s 41%, according to a new Suffolk University poll in New Hampshire. Also interesting: “Sanders fares better when it comes to the issue of trust. Asked which of the three major Democratic candidates is the most trustworthy, respondents chose Sanders by a 15-point margin: 51% to Clinton’s 36%. And while 26% of likely Democratic voters said they were bothered by Clinton’s use of private email as secretary of state, 71% said that it is not of concern.”
