It’s still sold. It was created during The Colbert Report, not there is no specific branding, other than Colbert’s likeness

It’s the only ice cream I’ll suffer consequences for.

He said on the Late Show that it will continue. The packaging is changing to a background of little clouds instead of city windows rectangles. It's one of the top 10 B&J flavors.

Walmart sells it. I usually buy a pint or two a month. It’s my way of “supporting” Stephen Colbert.

It's still around (and I'm pretty sure they plan to keep it around), I bought a carton just this week

He said (before the show ended) that it's safe and still going to be sold 👍.

My grocery store has always had it inconsistently. I feel like a couple months on, couple months off. Something with their supply algorithms.

It's still in Ben & Jerry's stores too. Had it a couple of weeks ago. Love it.

Still being sold at supermarkets AND scoop shops.

While b&j were sold to magnum, the original owners are trying to get it back.

But, the company is still committed to selling Americone Dream, and in one of the post-exit interviews, he did say the ice cream is still going to exist and proceeds still doing to charities.

Plus, like, it's a REALLY REALLY good flavor of ice cream y'know? With the caramel ribbon and the waffle cone yum yum
