Yes, Pecan!

Now the Obama pie babies can have it a la mode. Ben and Jerry, founders of the ice cream by the same name, not surprisingly endorsed Barack Obama before the Vermont primary last year. They traveled the state giving out scoops of “Cherries for Change”. After Obama won in Vermont there was a call for an Obama ice cream flavor. Suggestions included Peanut Butter Barackle, Obamanana Split and Barackadamia Nut. Foreshadowing the Obama transition, a scandal ensued over the winning suggestion, YES, PECAN!.

Having no regard for the fact cows are the arch enemy of the planet, yes, they did.

“YES PECAN!” An Inspirational Blend! Amber Waves of Buttery Ice Cream With Roasted Non-Partisan Pecans.

If you decide to indulge in some “Yes Pecan” in Scoop Shops during the month of January, Ben & Jerry’s is donating the proceeds to the Common Cause Education Fund.

My suggestion to all you ice cream lovers, pick some other brand.

(p.s. Ben Cohen initially supported John Edwards. What would that flavor have been?)

    The Edwards flavor I am thinking of is too vulgar to print but a more suitable flavor name for a B. Hussein ice cream : Kreamy Kool-Aid

    How about:

    Rielle Roasted Nut
    Lemon Lime Liar
    Pansy Ass Pecan
    Strawberry Sociopath Swirl
    Nutty Narcissist
    Berry Betrayal
    Buh Bye Banana

    Two Americas tutti-fruiti?

    SPEAKING OF FOOD. HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE NEW PEPSI LOGO AND ONE OF OBAMA’S MANY SYMBOLS? COMBINE THAT WITH THE PEPSI COMMERCIAL MESSAGE, REGARDING HOPE AND A FRESH START, ETC., CURRENTLY PLAYING ON TV.
    I FOR ONE AM AMUSED AND DISGUSTED AT THE SAME TIME.

  6. Philanderberry swirl? Ambulance Chaser Cherry? Two scoops for the “two Americas”.

  7. laughingatpinheads says:

    Comes in two flavors: Leninist Lime and Messiah Mocha. Yum!

  8. Shawmut says:

    “Yes Pecan” would be the choice of people who also speak out of both sides of their mouths.
    Edwards might be a Chinese food variety – “Hinky-Chinky” – doesn’t stay with you.

  9. RobK says:

    There are two new flavors that are rumored to come out in the Spring! Yes! Lemming Lime (this replaces the Leninist Lime) and Vanilla ACORN! Keep an eye out.

  10. Kelly says:

    I have no doubt that I would become lactose intolerant with just one spoonful of Yes Pecan.

  11. Talkin Horse says:

    The nation is about to get a mouthful of chamber pot pie.

  12. Tanya says:

    There’s always Star-Spangled Ice Cream, instead, if they sell near you. (Favorite names: Smaller GovernMint, I Hate The French Vanilla)

    John Edwards? Hmm…
    French Silky Pony?
    Butter Almond Breckle Girl?
    Mint Chocolate Chipocrite?

  13. Lamplighter says:

    For BO: Tangled Web Swirl with a Waffle cone

    For John Edwards: no more sweets. It’s time for an Ephesians Self-Hatred Laxative (Eph 5:28 “He who loves his wife loves himself.”)

  14. p.s. Ben Cohen initially supported John Edwards. What would that flavor have been?

    Cherry Chunk Cheater
    Adulterous Almond Vanilla Fudge Swirl
    Baby Daddy Butter Brickle

  15. RobK says:

    Hmmm, John Edwards flavor: “Stealth Strawberry”

    Barky Obama flavor: “Mac Daddy Macadamia”
