Origin

An image purporting to show a new Ben & Jerry’s ice cream released to commemorate President Donald Trump (called “ImPeachMint”) appeared on social media shortly after the 2016 presidential election, and circulated widely thereafter:

President Trump was not the first President to get his own spoof “ImPeachMint” ice cream. In 2013, Mad magazine shared an image showing President Barack Obama on the “ImPeachMint” label:

Neither of these ice creams were offcially produced by Ben & Jerry’s.
