This ice cream innovation made for sharing introduces a 28-ounce container for friends and families alike. This larger format makes it easier to scoop and share crowd-pleasing Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavors like [Vanilla & Fudge Brownie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookies-cream-sundae), Chocolate & Fudge Swirl, Strawberries & Cream, and Coffee & Fudge Chip—featuring coffee from [BLK & Bold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blk-bold), which empowers youth and supports grassroots change in alignment with Ben & Jerry's activist spirit. Before these share-worthy flavors officially hit shelves, Ben & Jerry's is giving people the chance to taste them first via social media giveaways. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 33% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Share-inducing Packaging:** Larger, shareable ice cream containers encourage communal consumption and enjoyable experiences with family and friends. - **Social Media Sampling:** Promotions through social media giveaways enable brands to engage consumers and create pre-launch excitement for new products. - **Flavor Activism:** Collaborations with socially conscious suppliers like BLK & Bold offer brands opportunities to align their products with activism and social change. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Packaging Industry:** Innovations in container designs that promote sharing can enhance the consumer experience and reduce overconsumption. - **Social Media Marketing:** Strategic use of social platforms for sampling campaigns can amplify product reach and consumer interest before official market release. - **Ethical Consumer Products:** Integrating ethical sourcing into products allows brands to leverage consumer demand for socially responsible and impactful choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pint-Sized Ice Cream Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-sundaes.md) - [Family-Sized Artisan Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prairie-farms-ice-cream.md) - [Sharable Ice Cream Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-lovers-box.md) - [Indulgent Spoonable Sundaes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-sundaes2.md) - [Super-Premium Ice Cream Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-ice-cream-bars.md) - [Snackable Ice Cream Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-ice-cream.md) - [Ice Cream Variety Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-variety-packs.md) - [S'mores Ice Cream Pints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-pb-smore.md) - [Collaboration Ice Creams Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lights-caramel-action-ice-cream.md)
