Ben And Jerrys Ice Cream

[SilverSabre25]

darn and I cant eat ice cream....it actually sounds yummy like jamican rum cake icecream... plus whoppers (is that candy?)

yep daycare, it's candy--Whoppers are malted milk balls. I loooove Whoppers.

I can't eat it for a variety of reasons, namely malt (gluten) and ice cream (dairy). Sounds totally yum though.

Rum? Real rum? I thought it had gum balls or something like that in it.

There is rum in the vanilla ice cream and sort of a rum liquor filling in fudge balls.

Then the malt balls coated in chocolate.

Two flavors of Schweddy Balls if you'd like....::::

I'm sooo laughing!!!! And!! I'm buying it!! Tomorrow!! Lol swalls ice-cream. Lool. Omg! This is Soooo going to go in the camper freezer!!!!!

[BusyBee]

It is hilarious!!! My daughter would not even ask about the name. She doesn't ask about any of the other names. She just wants to know what is in the ice cream!

If people are worked up over ice cream--they need to get a hobby or get a life.

Well, thanks everyone for your opinions. I know it's just ice cream, but I just wanted your opinion on the name. Maybe I just take things too seriously and I'm overly paranoid about parenting "right" that I forget to relax a little. Thanks again...who knows I may try the ice cream.. !

I don't really see the issue here.

My 3 yo and 4 yo come up with some pretty gross comments that I know doesn't come from their parents or here.

we have a rule...what is said at home stays at home.. If you have questions about anything you always wait until we get home and know that you are always welcome to ask anything without fear of punishment....No just walking around saying it will cost you, but I'd rather my kids ask me then ask a stranger or a friend.

I was standing in the aisle of a grocery store talking to my sil and my daughter, her friend, and my nephew come up (knew way to much at young age) and asks "Whats a vigin"? I go into heart failure, glare at my nephew, and calmly blurt out-A song by Madonna. I was in panic, mode and didn't know what to say. They were pretty young still (in lower elementary school). I never expected that question in the canned fruit isle at the grocery store- Not even the correct song title but the closet I could think of in a moment of panic.

I think it's funny, but my child is only 11 months, so she can't read. . I'm more worried about the things her Dad and his friends say around her by accident. They are 100 times better than before she was born, but I still need to remind them.

Kids are going to hear/see stuff you are uncomfortable with, but you can't control the world, you can only control yourself. If a company does something to offend you, don't buy their product.

Lol. I would have said " a fancy drink without alcohol. Lol"

that is soooo funny! You gotta love kids... so pure and honest...

[Solandia]

I am going to have to buy it, the Schweddy Balls skit is one of my dh's top ten from SNL. He would think it is hilarious.

We have Schweddy Balls occasionally, that is what we call our swedish meatballs, in honor of SNL. Yeah, we are immature. LOL

[nannyde]

I don't know how they got thru that skit without loosing it. ::::

I think it's hysterical. I heard about the skit on the Actors Studio Alec Baldwin episode and looked it up on NBC.

Ben and Jerry's just rock.

I love their Willie Nelson peach ice cream. Oh yummmmmmmmmmmy

[JenNJ]

I think it is funny! Anyone who doesn't like it is under no obligation to buy it or any other B&J's ice cream. I personally think the boycott idea is INSANE. People in the US (in general) are WAY too uptight. Learn to take a joke folks!!

[Sugar Magnolia]

So I guess we should boycott Cherry Garcia too because Jerry was a heroine addict. And also boycott Cluster Fluff because that's some serious inuendo too. Phooey!!! I love Ben and Jerrys and one of my families is a francisee! Personally, I love me some Shwetty Balls, they melt in your mouth! Yum! LOL!

[Kaddidle Care]

It made me chuckle when I saw the new flavor. Love the SNL skit and nothing for naught - it's not kid ice cream. It's adult stuff! (At least not the way my kids go through ice cream.)

I might buy it for a joke for my hubby and me to eat one night. It would be a splurge - not something I buy all the time at all.

B&J's could probably care less what people think - don't forget they're from Vermont and Vermont folks.. do as they like and do for others - they are a rare breed.

A friend from Vermont brought his Golden Retriever into a local Diner. A snooty vacationing woman walked in and got in a huff - "You allow DOGS in here?" The owner (who evidentally looks like the cook from Beetle Bailey) http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_14J2dEsfIG...ey+5-27-10.gif
took one look at her and said "Hey - he's a local - you don't like it, leave." ::

Buy it if you think it's funny or sounds tasty - if you don't, don't buy it.
