2. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

delicious.

[ACTION BASTARD]

3. Clever and pisses off the right wing death cult? Why yes, yes it does!

Epic WIN!

[brooklynite]

8. Fortunately, they have their OWN Ice Cream...

S T A R S P A N G L E D I C E C R E A M C O M P A N Y

"Iraqi Road"

"Smaller Governmint"

"Gun Nut"

"I hate the French Vanilla"

http://www.starspangledicecream.com/New/info-ConserativeIceCream.htm

and in honor of their support for Corporate America, their Ice Cream treats contain:

High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup, Whey, Nonfat Dry Milk Solids, Guar Gum, Mono and Diglycerides, Calcium Sulfate, Salt, Cellulose Gum, Polysorbate 80, Carrageenan, and Polysorbate 65

[wolfgangmo]

14. No wonder freepers are crazy.

Half of that list is neurotoxic.

[loudsue]

71. And probably from China with a little melamine thrown in to increase the "protein"

score.

[NYC Liberal]

22. Funny because most Repugs pronounce Iraq as "EYE-rack"

[kay1864]

46. And they're proud to announce that

it's "NOT Kosher certified"

:eyes:

[Ken Burch]

68. That's why they're "pro-Israel"-they want anybody who'd buy kosher food to MOVE to Israel

n/t.

[jeff30997]

49. "I hate the French Vanilla"

Shouldn't it be "I hate the Freedom Vanilla" ?

[Ken Burch]

69. Well, they tried "Cheesecake-Eating Surrender Monkeys", but it didn't quite work

They kept making it with ACTUAL monkey chunks.

[MrMickeysMom]

74. Ha! good one!

[LeftishBrit]

93. Bwahaha!

[Norrin Radd]

63. All of their websites look like crap. Still stuck in 1996.

[madeline_con]

73. LOL! and EW! Cellolose gum.

:puke:

[Kitty Herder]

81. Is that site a joke?

Cause it's pretty damn funny. It's even funnier if it's for real.

[Turbineguy]

88. Did they forget to include the ingredient

"Brown 25"?

[brooklynite]

4. More details...

[xxqqqzme]

100. Ah, it's only in scoop shops.

There is no scoop shop close to me. It looks like 'New York Super Fudge Chuck' w/ pecans. Damn, I love pecans.

[Sebass1271]

5. i'll buy it!.. i have to help Ben and Jerry's.. with their YES, pecan!!

[ElboRuum]

6. I like the marketing...

...however...

"Chocolate Ice Cream with White and Dark Chocolatey (?) Chunks, Pecans, Walnuts, and Chocolatey (?) Covered Almonds".

So...

Chocolate
Chocolate
Chocolate
Pecans
Walnuts
Almonds.

So pecans are at best, what? 1/6th the recipe?

And what the hell is Chocolatey?

[customerserviceguy]

61. It's fake chocolate

hence, it's "chocolatey"!

[FatDave]

80. Fake chocolate in Ben and Jerry's?

Surely you jest.

[Bette Noir]

83. Real chocolate is too hard to serve in ice cream;

it's like rocks when frozen. To make the texture right, they probably loosen up real chocolate with liquid vegetable oil. I don't know their recipe, but that's how it's usually done. Once you replace cocoa butter with any other oil, the product no longer meets the legal definition of "chocolate": hence, "chocolaty."

Doesn't mean it's not delicious. All their other flavors are.

[KittyWampus]

91. As a pecan lover, I will concede your point. Pecans are under-represented in the flavor

profile for an ice cream with the word "pecan" so prominently in its title.

[progressoid]

7. I'll try that!

[Cronus Protagonist]

9. That made me laugh out loud!

I want to buy some for posterity :P

[FloriTexan]

57. Don't you mean

for your posterior:rofl:

[unblock]

10. sadly, this is banned from the unblock household.

mini-unblock has a tree nut allergy.
can't have any snickers, in the house, either.

<sigh>

[ferrous wheel]

12. No snickers? That's tragic...are chuckles allowed?

:D

[unblock]

16. ah, i remember chuckles!

http://www.oldtimecandy.com/chuckles.htm

[ferrous wheel]

23. Like great huge gumdrops!

mmmm

[Submariner]

58. I got a sugar rush just looking at all those goodies

Now I'm going to have to stimulate the economy at oldtimecandy.com. I may need a bailout to fund my turkish taffy and candy buttons addictions I feel are coming back. Thanks in advance for finding me a way to put on 10 pounds I don't need.

[unblock]

70. glad to help out!

submariners always know how to eat well!

[GinaMaria]

95. They have Retro toys too

Magnetic gyro wheel
sadly, it is out of stock.
http://www.oldtimecandy.com/toys.htm


mmmmm Razzles, Zots and BubbleYum.... I'm lucky to have made it out of childhood with a full set of teeth.

[eShirl]

33. snickers has tree nuts?

I thought the only nut it had was peanuts?

[unblock]

56. only peanuts, which, of course, are neither peas not nuts.

sadly, mini-unblock has a peanut allergy also.
technically they're seperate allergies but i understand they are highly correlated.

[Chovexani]

101. They're not, at all.

Peanuts are legumes, not nuts. What you dismiss as a technicality contributes to a lot of misinformation about food allergies. It's also the difference, for me, between dying from anaphylactic shock and nomming on some Reese's at my desk. Your kid was unlucky enough to draw both straws but that doesn't mean there is a correlation between the two.

I've had a severe tree nut allergy for my entire life, and have never had a single issue with a peanut product.

Sorry, this is a huge peeve of mine.

[Bryn]

11. Sorry, Bennnieee and Jereeeee

I still prefer Breyer since they still use sugar cane. Much more delicious.

[BrklynLiberal]

26. They do make the best vanilla bean and french vanilla.

[BrklynLiberal]

27. Never mind. Petition closed.

[DWilliamsamh]

47. Did you mean Breyer's - my mom and I always had Fr. Valilla W/ Hershey's Syrup.

[Trajan]

98. Breyers and Dreyers

Dreyer's is branded Edy's east of the Rockies ...

[Adelante]

13. An Obama supporter named it "Yes, Pecan"

During the primaries. I love it. :)

[stlsaxman]

87. They might get sued by P-Diddy if they named it "Yes, PeaDid" n/t

[HughMoran]

15. That's clever

I think I'll get some :D

[lamp_shade]

17. I'm smiling so wide my mouth hurts. I probably look stupid.

[wryter2000]

18. OMG

I want some. I'm going to look for it when I go shopping. :bounce:

[Bombero1956]

19. nice idea

but I'm not that fond of chocolate. If it were vanilla or a butter pecan I'd try it. Of course they did away with my favorite flavor Rainforest crunch about 4 years ago. Ben & Jerry's doesn't care about my tastes I guess. Upon further review Rainforest crunch went away in 1996.

[NYCGirl]

21. You don't like chocolate? AARRRGGGHH! Why do you hate America?

:evilgrin:

[Bombero1956]

24. oh because

I'm a delicate flower and my tummy won't tolerate it.

[Jim Lane]

76. I'm with you, Bombero

I don't happen to like the taste of chocolate, and you would not BELIEVE how much grief I get about it.

Someday, though, the United States will elect a President who openly disdains chocolate. I have a dream....

[rucky]

43. alerting

[lightningandsnow]

20. Beautiful!

:D

[swishyfeet]

25. I still prefer the Americone Dream

MMMmmmmm... tasty!

[BrklynLiberal]

28. MMMMM good stuff..

[ihavenobias]

48. Agreed.

:)

[Bette Noir]

84. I was disappointed that it didn't have apple pie in it.

[sofa king]

29. Naturally, the Internets have worked hard to come up with a Bush flavor, too.

http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/7ourc/write_this_joke_ben_jerry_create_yes_pecan_ice/

My own suggestion is "Shite n' Shinola."

[BrklynLiberal]

36. I like your idea...

[Contrary1]

42. "Grammar Cracker S'moron"

:rofl:

[GinaMaria]

99. These posters are clever! How about a scoop of one of these?

Grammar Cracker S'moron

Grape Depression

Cluster Fudge

crookies and scream..s

Nut'n Accomplished

Imprison-Mint

WireTapioca.

Yellow Cake Surprise (Purchased on the promise of tasty bits of yellow cake. The surprise is that it contains none. )

Chocolate Dictator Chip

Heck of a Job, Brownie

Neocon Politan

Mess-o-Pistachio

Iraqi "Shoe"fly Pie

credit crunch

Death by Chocolate...and Torture

Worst Flavor Ever.

Douche de Leche

Triple Deficit Fudge

Chunky Drunky

Caramel Preemptive Stripe

Smore on Terra

Haven't laughed this hard in a while. Thanks for posting the link. Makes me want to open my own ice cream shoppe!

[blonndee]

31. Yummy! Sounds a lot like my favorite, New York Super Fudge Chunk.

Can't wait to try it. :)

[Sabriel]

32. There's still time in the amnesty period to change to this.

You could be Yes Pecan until 2012.

[GreenPartyVoter]

34. Yum! I love NY super fudge chunk so this would work for me

[underpants]

35. Man are they ever great

:patriot:

[stuntcat]

37. SWEET!!

I mean figuratively and literally, SWEET!!

[Lorax]

38. Oh man!

Now I have to go get some!

[valerief]

39. LOL!!!! I love it!!!! nt

[pleah]

40. I'm just glad it isn't McCrustyfudge!

:rofl:

[havocmom]

97. with a side scoop of Palin Pecans & Cream

Man, we would have been screwn!

[cali]

41. ugh. I know, that as a Vermonter, I'm not supposed to feel that way

but actually I don't like most of B & J's flavors. They're mostly all glopped up. I love good ice cream, and unusual flavors, but not kitchen sink ice cream- and that's Ben and Jerry's.

[Tab]

62. Actually I agree

I spent the first 75% of my life in Vermont, and now live in NH, and a relative of mine was global marketing manager for B&J, but I have to say I agree. I love Mint Oreo Cookie (or, actually, it's called Mint Chocolate Cookie now since the Oreo company, whatever that is (Keebler?)) sued them, and Pistachio, and on rare occasions Cherry Garcia, but the majority of them are too gloppy and sugary for me.

That said, I wish I had $100 to buy a share of stock when they were advertising it on the bottom of their lids in the mid-80's.

Ben Cohen has been very generous to my brother, due to a serious medical issue my brother encountered, at least in terms of his (Ben's) time. They don't really "own" the company any more, but they're very giving. I don't want to be too critical. They've done a lot for Vermonters and people in general.

[rucognizant]

86. ME too!

If I want to chew a lot I'll eat salad!
Ice cream used to be about "cream and flavor" not chunks!

[happygoluckytoyou]

44. WHITE...YES.... CHOCOLATE...YES....and GOT A LOT OF NUTZ ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !! ! ! ! !!! !

[Cha]

45. The night before Inauguration I was

watching Canadian tv and they were interviewing people who were excited about our new Prez. One was a pub owner who named a brew Obama Black Ale in honor of our CIC.:patriot::party::beer::patriot:

[jeff30997]

51. Cool !

I haven't met a single person over here who is not an Obama fan.:toast:

[Cha]

53. Yeah, they were

Pumped! And, I gotta tell ya..it was very uplifting:bounce:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

50. How about Baracky Road?

[jeff30997]

52. Lol!

Good one. :rofl:

[Cha]

54. I like it..and I think the

potential is infinite:9

I like your new name, too.

[Deja Q]

55. Hippes, my ass.

[InvisibleTouch]

59. Oh, I love it!

Don't know if I would buy it, because I'm not big on nuts, but I do love the concept. Then again there seems to be enough chocolate in the mix to offset the nuts, so maybe I'll give it a try. :)

[redirish28]

60. My wife said it would have been better if it was carmel flavored ice cream

or vanilla. Too much chocolate you won't really taste the other items.

[Helga Scow Stern]

64. Ice cold! n/t

[Iwillnevergiveup]

65. Gimme some

right now. I want it and I need it because I only had Chinese food a couple hours ago.

:woohoo:

[Abq_Sarah]

66. Sadly, I will not be partaking

Sugar is not my friend.

[awoke_in_2003]

67. That reminds me...

I have a new carton of Cherry Garcia waiting for me at home. It will not last long.

[kas125]

[TechBear_Seattle]

75. "Good Riddance You Lousy Motherfucker... Swirl"

Excellent choices but this one... :thumbsup:

[sonias]

77. It's hard not to laugh out loud

This was a serious decade of horrible things to choose from Abu Grape, Chock 'n Awe, RockyRoad to Fascism.

I think I'm leaning towards "Good Riddance You Lousy Motherfucker... Swirl" too :evilgrin:


Sonia

[beac]

78. "Good Riddance You Lousy Motherfucker... Swirl"

I have seen this several times now and it still makes me laugh out loud every time.

[LeftishBrit]

94. Great ones!

How about

Cookie the books and steal the Dough

Cheney's Chunky Monkey

Baked Alaska could become Half-Baked Alaskan with Nuts Added

[sakabatou]

79. I'll just eat around the pecans

[Bette Noir]

82. Ben and Jerry are okay.

And that ice cream flavor sounds yummy. My favorite: chocolate with things in it.

(Typo)

[Divine Discontent]

85. HEHEHEHE.. lOvE iT! k&r

[Darth_Kitten]

89. I don't like nuts with ice cream.

Yes, great name, but, ick. :(

[Buzz Clik]

90. I'd have some of that. Oh, wait -- they closed our local Ben&Jerry's five years ago.

:mad:

[Patiod]

92. And where did B&J LEARN to make ice cream? Penn State!

They took an extension course from PSU - you can look it up!

Ben & Jerry's is an adequate substitute, I guess, when Happy Valley isn't accessible....

(I blame my current lactose intolerance on 4 years of overreliance on The Penn State Creamery - the cafeteria food was unbearably bad, but I survived on the Creamery's amazing fresh milk, cottage cheese and ice cream)

[Skidmore]

96. Oh, man. Chocolate and pecans...two of my most favorite foods.

Actually, they are food groups, along with mushrooms, cheese, and rice.

[LoZoccolo]

102. lol n/t

[Mad_Dem_X]

103. WANT.

NOW.

[all.of.me]

105. Kicking for ice cream, chocolate and nuts. Yummmmmmmmmm....

:thumbsup: :loveya: :party:
