Ben & Jerry's To Come Out With "Schweddy Balls" Ice Cream Flavor



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 Karmel 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.

Brilliant marketing by Ben & Jerry's. I mean who wouldnt want to take a bite out of some Ice Cold Schweddy balls ice cream? Fuckin brilliant! Your god dam right Sean Greenwood isnt worreid about offending people. Nothing will stop people from buying and eating ben and Jerry's. He knows it, I know it and you know it. They could come out with a "Dirty Balloon Knot" flavor and people would still buy it. Keep it up Ben & Jerry's. I for one will be the first in line to down some Schweddy Balls... ice cream.
