Unilever-owned Ben & Jerry’s has released a new limited-edition ice cream flavour as part of its latest comedy-themed collaboration with Netflix. Ben & Jerry’s has launched Punch Line in partnership with Netflix’s comedy platform Netflix Is A Joke. The new flavour features a duo of brown butter bourbon and almond ice creams, with added roasted almonds and cherries. In addition to the ice cream itself, the two companies are teaming up to provide a comedy hotline, which will feature comedic headliners like Wanda Sykes, Fortune Feimster and Aparna Nancherla. Punch Line marks the ice cream brand’s fourth Netflix collaboration flavour in 2020, joining Netflix & Chill’d – available in both dairy and non-dairy variants – and Boots on the Moooo’n, inspired by Netflix comedy series Space Force. A limited batch of Ben & Jerry’s Punch Line can be found across the US for an RRP of $4.99-5.49.
