Ben & Jerry's unveils Schweddy Balls ice cream
APBy JOHN CURRAN - Associated Press | AP – 14 hrs ago
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Ben & Jerry's is unveiling a new flavor, and it doesn't sound too tasty.
"Schweddy Balls" is an homage to an old "Saturday Night Live" skit featuring Alec Baldwin as bakery owner Pete Schweddy, whose unique holiday offerings included something called "Schweddy Balls."
Sean Greenwood, a spokesman for the Vermont ice cream maker, said Thursday that the company isn't worried about offending people with the name. He says one of the company's principles is to do fun things and that it fits in with that, just as it did with previous flavors like Karamel Sutra and Half Baked.
The new flavor is available at scoop shops and supermarkets. It consists of vanilla ice cream, rum, fudge-covered rum balls and milk chocolate malt balls.

In other news, stores in Salt Lake City are completely sold out of the new flavor, and Ben & Jerry's is rushing them more shipments by air freight. Ben & Jerry's also announced that they scrapped plans for a market research study in West Hollywood, because they realized that quite frankly they really didn't want to know what else that target demographic might be doing with their new product!

I have to agree with you Simonono and who on earth ever thought Rum 'n' Raisin would make a tasty ice-cream.
