Schweddy Balls, UPDATE

Post by Dr. NO »

"HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls ice cream is too hot to handle for some supermarket chains. While the new limited-edition flavor has brought chuckles from fans of the "Saturday Night Live" skit on which it's based, some supermarket chains aren't laughing and have been giving it a cold shoulder."

Undermining the moral fibre of America's over fed, over pampered, video game playing, obese couch potato youth thus aiding and abetting the continued movement of this country toward a socialist government. History books in the future will show that the straw that broke the country's back was the introduction of Shweddy Balls ice cream to the marketplace. Ben & Jerry = Castro & Chavez.

Call me crazy, but I thought the point was simply that "Schweddy Balls" sounds unappetizing. You know, as in, "Who would want to eat that?" ("That's what she said!")

As a leaning Right ( yeah, I don't lean, I am the pointer ) Conservative I resent these remarks. I'll take a double dose of Chunky Monkey along with a Pint of Cherry Garcia and see you 2 clogged arteries.

Monica Cole, director of the Tupelo, Miss.-based [One Million Moms group], said Thursday they hesitated to call out Ben & Jerry's publicly about the name because they did not want to give it publicity.

She said they felt obligated, though, especially given that they did not step forward with their concerns about its "Hubby Hubby" flavor, a play on its "Chubby Hubby" flavor and created to recognize same-sex marriages.

"We don't want the envelope to continue to be pushed," Cole said of the Schweddy Balls name. "I realize it could be a lot worse, but are they going to progressively get worse if we don't say something? Maybe they'll think twice before they come up with another inappropriate name for ice cream."

The company's website encourages members and supporters to warn the company they will stop buying its products if more Schweddy Balls or other products with offense names are produced.

"The vulgar new flavor has turned something as innocent as ice cream into something repulsive. Not exactly what you want a child asking for at the supermarket," the organization's website says.

I just tried it over the weekend. Yummy! But a heck of a lot of silly hype over something so harmless. Did they protest the SNL skit when it aired?
