Think back to last year—back to when Ben & Jerry’s vegan ice cream wasn’t a thing. Remember how dark those days were? What did we do without our P.B. & Cookies, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chunky Monkey, and Coffee Caramel Fudge ice cream? HOW DID WE SURVIVE?!
Well, last week, Ben & Jerry’s secretly introduced three new vegan flavors to stores across the country: Coconut Seven Layer Bar, Caramel Almond Brittle, and—drum roll, please—Cherry Garcia! The company now sells a total of seven vegan ice cream flavors.

Things got a bit emotional, as some people got super-jelly of us over here in the States:
Some people even forgot the difference between plants and animals for a second:
This vegan’s reaction to the news is all of us:
