I have three boys and a girl, and we all have a bizarre sense of humor. I need to buy this ice cream for them.
It is funny! I will buy it!
That group is ridiculous!
I just hijacked the email on the One Million Moms website too. Thanks for sharing this info! I wonder how long it's going to take them to realize that some are using their site to support Ben & Jerry's. I love the idea of Dick In A Box and Betty White Muffin ice cream too. Hysterical!!!
I am a right wing conservative nut and this bothers me. There are certain things that are down right ridiculous and this is one of them. Onemillionmoms.com, onemilliondads.com and the AFA are not above anyone else and cannot tell people what they can and cannot buy, watch, read and so on. There are rights provided for in our constitution and bill of rights that they can't stomp on. They are essentially blackmailing these companies. I know that I have my morals and standards but I am not going to shove my views down someone else's throat. I am definitely pro Schweddy Balls and am offended that they are acting like communists.
Too funny! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, though. From their website:
"Ben & Jerry's announced their newest ice cream flavor which sounds anything but appealing. Schweddy Balls is the best they could come up with. 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."
I'd just like to point out that if their child is asking for rum ice cream at the supermarket, they have much larger problems looming than the name of an ice cream flavor! Perhaps this is the form their denial takes, focusing on a less important "crisis"....
I love Ben and Jerry's but was not thrilled with the "Cluster Fluff" name. Didn't stop me from loving the ice cream!
btw - check Ben & Jerry's website for a pic of the package - it was there last week when I checked to see if it really was a new flavor. :-)
B & J are just capitalizing on the continual slide into society's crudeness. I don't necessarily ascribe to boycotts, but I am repulsed by deliberate crassness. I remember when people weren't like this, so I am able to compare "how it was" to "how it is."
Hilarious! I hijacked their letter writing website to send Ben and Jerry's a supportive email. :)
You all are great! What I did was click on their link, EDIT the subject to PRO SCHWEDDY BALLS - and told them that as a mom and NON member, I think their idea is hysterical, and if they continue to sell it, I must buy a pint for myself and my MIL (she really does want one). I told them thank you for their products! I just manipulated their ''standard" email to express my own views :).
I didn’t know it was in the stores yet! I wish I could post a pic on here once I see it!
