You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
Naming your ice cream after male genitalia that has gone for a long run.
DATELINE: MONTPELIER, Vt.
Renowned Ice Cream makers – Ben & Jerry’s – has unveiled a new flavor, and it makes you wonder why they even bothered.
The flavor: “Schweddy Balls”
Yep I said it.
Schweddy Balls. Doesn’t that conjure up thoughts of scrum-dilly-icious? Schweddy Balls? It makes me think of eating belly lint or licking day old filth on a sweaty man’s thigh.
Yummy.
According to published reports, 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.”
Hey Ben – Hey Jerry; did you ever wonder why SNL comes on at 11:30 pm eastern standard time. It’s because kids are asleep and the show is often raunchy.
And so is an ice cream called Shweddy Balls.
Sean Greenwood, a spokesman for the Vermont ice cream maker, said Thursday that the company isn’t worried about offending people. He says one of the company’s principles is to do fun things and it fits with that, just as it did with previous flavors like Karmel Sutra and Half Baked.
Half Baked isn’t Schweddy Balls. Half Baked could be fun. Schweddy Balls is what a cat tastes when it cleans it’s own ass.
If I was a company that made money by charging people for products they pay for, I would be worried about offending my customers who actually reach into their wallets and make me a fat cat.
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.
That sounds good. Schweddy Balls sounds like it would taste bad. It tastes like a spoonful of wet jock, mixed with fermenting underarm deodorant.
YUM.
Thanks Ben. Thanks Jerry.
Can anyone say BaskinRobbins?
And that is crazy.™
