Kamala Harris Coconut Tree Quote Inspires New Ice Cream Flavor

When Vice President Kamala Harris speakspeople listen – and create memes that spread across social media like crazy. Many of her soundbites from the campaign trail have gone viral, especially the line “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?”

The quote was taken from a 2023 speech she made at the White House in which she spoke about the importance of focusing on the needs of younger generations.

Harris’ “coconut tree” quote produced plenty of memes across socials, including a Beyoncé-inspired remix:

Now, the viral quote has inspired ice cream mega brand Ben & Jerry’s to create a sweet treat in his honor.

Brand co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield partnered with political advocacy group MoveOn to create the limited edition flavor Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee. The decadent dessert is described as coconut-flavored ice cream layered with caramel and topped with red, white and blue star sprinkles, according to USA Today.

But you won’t find it in your local grocery store. If you want a chance to taste the flavor, you can check it out during MoveOn’s “Scoop the Vote” ice cream truck tour which kicks off in Philadelphia on Sept. 16 and stops in over 20 cities in key battleground states.

At each stop, volunteers will be on hand to help people make a plan to vote on election day. Attendees can also enter a raffle to win free, limited-edition pints of Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee to enjoy at home.

“Excitement and joy are on our side right now, but we cannot lose sight of how close this election will be. A few thousand votes will decide whether we live under a democracy with Kamala Harris or a dictatorship with Donald Trump,” said MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting in a statement. “MoveOn’s Scoop the Vote Ice Cream Truck Tour will meet voters where they are and help mobilize our communities to defeat Trump once and for all this fall.”

Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen agrees and hopes people will come for the ice cream and stay to make a plan to register and vote in the upcoming election.

“You can lick and say you care all you want, but if you’re not going for the big scoop — to get registered and vote — at the end of the day, all you’ve got is some drips down your shirt. Go big. Scoop the vote,” he said.
