Sweet Truth
Posted Monday, February 19, 2007 at 11:46AM
Rumors have been buzzing for some time now about a new ice cream flavor commemorating ironic on-air “news” host Stephen Colbert. But despite much conjecture about red-white-and-blue concoctions containing “Colberries,” Ben & Jerry released Americone Dream, vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel. Colbert made a typically trenchant quip at the news.
“I’m not afraid to say it. Dessert has a well-known liberal agenda. What I hope to do with this ice cream is bring some balance back to the freezer case.”
The creative outpouring for prospective flavors was impressive. Beyond the aforementioned Colberries, alternative ideas included Baby Ruth-iness, Strangeness with Candy and Dead Bear Claw.
Or perhaps they should simply have renamed French Vanilla to Freedom Vanilla and be done with it.
Look for Americone Dream in the freezer case and enjoy “the sweet taste of liberty in your mouth.”
