Backstage, FDL writers were wondering what flavor B&J would come up with to celebrate the Occupy movement. I actually think it should be called The 99% and be an everything but the kitchen sink sort of mix in, to represent the diversity of the people who make up the Occupy movement. It's not just kids, and it's not just bare breasted bongo drumming hippies, it's 30 somethings pushing babay strollers--and there better NEVER so much as waft of pepper pepper spray over a stroller-- and 40 somethings bringing they 'tweens out to see what democracy looks like, and the Granny Peace Brigade, and veterans in their dress uniforms and cammo, it's people of all colors and people of all faiths, it is people of all walks of life, except the 1%. So, I think some simple mainsteam base flavor--dare I say it, plain vanilla?--and then a kalidascope of mix ins to represent all the different kinds of people who make up the 99% This is very excellent, and B&J are known for the fairness with which they treat both workers and suppliers.

It’s not just kids, and it’s not just bare breasted bongo drumming hippies, it’s 30 somethings pushing babay strollers–and there better NEVER so much as waft of pepper pepper spray over a stroller– and 40 somethings bringing they ‘tweens out to see what democracy looks like, and the Granny Peace Brigade, and veterans in their dress uniforms and cammo, it’s people of all colors and people of all faiths, it is people of all walks of life,

except the 1%.
