Is this for real?? I mean it sounds good, but I'm repulsed at the same time lol.

True story...the original name of the flavor was 'Mike Litoris'
They had to change it because of their consumer product testing showed that most men couldn't find it,even when looking directly into the freezer.

I bought some yesterday. In my opinion, it could have had more balls. as the flavor of the malted milk balls and the fudge covered rum balls was overpowered by the vanilla ice cream. The vanilla is tasty, more like a vanilla bean flavor. The rum flavoring was kinda weak.

I don't like the majority of B & J's flavors. However, I do like their Peanut Butter Cup and Red Velvet Ice Cream. For me, these ice creams have the perfect blend of base ice cream and confection treats. Maybe it was just the particular pint i had. I may try another pint in the future. However, I think at this point, it's probably best to just buy some vanilla ice cream, Whoppers and rum flavored liquer and make your own.

Alec Baldwin is humorous and Ben & Jerry's is amazing! I would consider them to be my favorite brand of ice cream as they're really intuitive with flavor and ingredient combination not to mention the Jerry Garcia reference in their most popular ice cream's name.

it was bound to offend someone, too fuckin' bad.......

OneMillionMoms, an organization affiliated with the American Family Association, announced a boycott of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream over a new flavor called “Schweddy Balls.” The group said Friday on its website: “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 idea for the ice cream flavor’s name came from a 1998 Saturday Night Live comedy segment featuring Alec Baldwin, Molly Shannon, and Ana Gasteyer. In the sketch Baldwin plays Pete Schweddy, a baker who brings his best-selling holiday treat to share with two public radio hosts. “No one can resist my Schweddy balls,” Baldwin famously said in character.

The new Ben & Jerry’s flavor consists of vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum flavor, mixed with fudge-covered rum and milk chocolate malt balls.

The AFA-affiliated boycott group objects to the Vermont ice cream company’s use of the “Schweddy balls” name and its sexually suggestive pun. “It seems that offending customers has become an annual tradition for Ben & Jerry’s,” the organization added on its website.

Ben & Jerry’s has a history of embracing political activism, including an ice cream flavor — ‘Hubby Hubby’ — that serves as an endorsement of same-sex marriage.

“The name is irreverent,” said Ben & Jerry’s spokesman Sean Greenwood of his company’s “Schweddy” flavor. “But we’ve always been about having some irreverence and having some fun … We’re not trying to offend people. Our fans get the humor.”

Bad publicity is good publicity. It'll only generate more interest. No one will be able to resist trying some Schweddy Balls!
