With thanks to the Lennon Estate, the introduction of the new Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor “Imagine Whirled Peace” will be debuted with a NYC reenactment of the “Peace Bed-Ins” staged by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969.
Who says eating ice cream in bed can’t bring about world peace?
Dairy delight maker Ben & Jerry’s and The Lennon Estate were expected to introduce a new ice cream flavor Tuesday called “Imagine Whirled Peace” — while re-enacting the “Peace Bed-Ins” staged by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969.
The couple organized the week-long bed-ins to preach about world peace, conducting interviews with reporters.
Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal and Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield were expected to reprise the roles at the Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop in Times Square. Efforts for spreading world peace and ice cream will most likely be announced.
