Ben & Jerry's Unveils 'Schweddy Balls'

[rick shaw]

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.”

Just let the MillionMoms have the 'Mike Litoris' flavor,cherry with chocolate(for the mood swings)

Funny shit right here,They're just pissed cuz if little Bobby came home from school,and mom had a lil dripping down her chin,and little bobby said"mom what's that on your chin"What's she gonna say "schweddy Balls"?Probably wouldn't have been the first time!

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 think that's part of their marketing ploy, it makes you search (eat) through each pint looking for the next tasty bit of heaven.......

It's funny. I was in the market today and it wasn't there. However, there was a flavor there call 'Cluster Fudge'. I don't get it. Some people are getting antsy about a flavor called Schweddy Balls, and yet no one says a peep about Cluster Fudge when all you have to do is drop the 'dge' and add an 'ck'?

Ha ha...Cluster Fudge.

It's actually What a Cluster unless you're referring to another brand. I like how they describe it...

Ever have days where everything's stuck in a cluster of flub-ups, fubars & snafus?

 

[Stoner4Life]

it's near Christmas time & I have yet to find myself some Schweddy Balls, as close as I'll be to getting any is throwing the DVD back in the player.......

I finally found two pints in a Livermore Safeway when visiting my daughters..
not too bad,but B&J has better,tastier flavors IMO.
the search was fun though.
peace

Sorry, I was referring to their Ben and Jerry's ClusterFluff flavor. I tried their Boston Creme Pie flavor and it was good. The creme flavor was overpowering. It doesn't have any many fudge flakes, just like the Schweddy Balls not having enough balls. The Blueberry Cheesecake is very weak. Hardly any blueberries and blueberry flavor. Maybe we should make a ice cream thread?

Lol!! Great skit but as for an ice cream name, genius and disgusting!
