Some things in life can be taken light-heartedly, while others are obviously borderline prejudiced.
We present you with a couple of flavors from a brand called 5 Boroughs Ice Cream, which are allegedly “inspired by the different neighborhoods [in New York City] and the people who live in them.”
What do you think?
Rich White Vanilla, representing the Upper East Side
Cha Cha Chocolate, representing the South Bronx
Mangodesh, representing Jackson Heights

I dont think that its racist, I think its actually kind of cute. Do you really think that somebody in going to be offended by them? I think that it is a kind of unique idea.

Wonder if they’re gonna make Butter Pecan Rican for the Lower East Side.
Brooklyn Heights “Matza Matza Matza Cream”
Hells Kitchen “Hot Fudge Ice Cream”
Bay Ridge ” Italian Stallion Pistachio”
i kinda like em
now i need to try them where can i get these?
It is what it is…There are some neighborhoods in NY that are inhabited by a majority of one ethnic group or another and the marketing team over there at 5 Boroughs Ice Cream recognized and capitalized off of it. More power to them.
its just Ice Cream… and not a noose hanging from a tree!
