Ruth Bader Ginger, to be precise. A Change.org petition to Ben & Jerry’s is now calling for the ice cream company to create a specialty flavor for the Supreme Court Justice. “I think it’s important to recognize women heroes everywhere we can,” wrote Yael Mazor-Garfinkle, the author of the petition. “So when I [read](http://www.buzzfeed.com/amanimals/10-solutions-to-ben-jerrys-women-problem-rnnq) that only two of Ben & Jerry’s honorary flavors over the past three decades have featured women, I started this petition asking the ice cream company to honor Justice Ginsburg with her own flavor: Ruth Bader Ginger.” The petition had more than 3,700 supporters by Thursday evening. _Read next:_ [_Ben & Jerry’s Founders Think Pot Ice Cream ‘Makes Sense’_](http://time.com/3731728/ben-jerrys-founders-think-pot-ice-cream-makes-sense/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3816597/ruth-bader-ginsburg-ice-cream/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3816597/ruth-bader-ginsburg-ice-cream/"},"headline":"There's Now A Petition to Create 'Ruth Bader Ginger' Ice Cream","datePublished":"2015-04-10T01:07:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:18:34.629Z","description":"The petition is seeking at least 5,000 supporters","url":"https://time.com/3816597/ruth-bader-ginsburg-ice-cream/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Ruth Bader Ginsburg","food and drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltefcc2ea1407af87f/69877f2f5f570f3e06b15453/451590080.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltefcc2ea1407af87f/69877f2f5f570f3e06b15453/451590080.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, celebrating her 20th anniversary on the bench, is photographed in the West conference room at the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington on Aug. 30, 2013.","caption":"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, celebrating her 20th anniversary on the bench, is photographed in the West conference room at the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington on Aug. 30, 2013.","creditText":"The Washington Post/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3816597/ruth-bader-ginsburg-ice-cream/","name":"There's Now A Petition to Create 'Ruth Bader Ginger' Ice Cream"}}]}] ```
