The Washington Post’s Phil Rucker reported Friday that the Draft Biden team distributed “I’m ridin’ with Biden” chocolate bars during the DNC summer meeting at the Hilton Minneapolis, according to The Wall Street Journal. The pro-Biden chocolates feature an image of the vice president wearing sunglasses and sitting behind the wheel of a sports car.

It looks like the image was taken from his hilarious romp with Veep star Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a special video produced for the 2014 White House Correspondents Dinner. Over 1.8 million people have watched the video on YouTube. Future voters?
