Meanwhile, in Seattle: Ice Cream Shop Offers Free Milkshake With Proof of Vasectomy

An ice cream chain in Seattle is offering free milkshakes to customers who bring in proof of a vasectomy.

Full Tilt advertised on Monday, “Want a free milkshake? Bring in proof of your vasectomy” to their Ballard or White Center locations.

The chain has been politically vocal since its inception. Earlier this year when news broke that the Supreme Court would be overturning Roe vs Wade, it posted to its social media platforms, “In renouncing this fundamental right, which it had repeatedly recognized and reaffirmed, the Court has upended the doctrine of stare decisis, a key pillar of the rule of law,” and encouraged people to donate to their local abortion funds.

The chain followed up the post by advertising a “Reproductive Rights” art exhibition.

On social media, the chain’s official account regularly posts on politically charged topics and comments on political threads.

In 2019, the shops introduced “Peach Mint” celebrating the impeachment of former President Donald Trump.

Full Tilt’s Owner Justin Cline told the White Center Blog, “Ice Cream is supposed to be fun; when conceiving this flavor we didn’t set out to offend anyone. Most of our team and customers ARE deeply offended by children being locked in cages and the incessant harm caused by Trump on a daily basis. This isn’t just about removing Trump, this is meant to be one small gesture of encouragement for America’s lawmakers and leaders to continue to do the right thing. Bad things happen when good people do nothing. This is about honoring the ‘something’ that is finally being done.”

He added, “All are welcome at Full Tilt no matter their political affiliation, but if you support the values of the I.R.C. and want Trump gone, come on by for a scoop of Peach Mint.”

The company supported the Black Lives Matter movement even while BLM activists were rioting in Seattle in 2020. On the day the deadly Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone was established by armed activists from the organization the chain called out Starbucks for not supporting the movement by allowing their employees from wearing BLM attire, even as the coffee chain’s windows were being smashed regularly in the riots.

Interestingly, the leftist causes and candidates the owners have supported have caused the cost of living, including rent to skyrocket in the city, while the quality of life declined and the chain’s Capitol Hill location was forced to close in December of 2019.
