SYDNEY (Reuters) - A new vodka-flavored ice cream launched in Australia provoked an outcry Saturday from groups worried it would give children a taste for alcohol.

The booze-flavored Illicit Vodka Cranberry Magnum ice creams hit the shelves just months after biscuit-maker Arnott's new Tia Maria Tim Tams and Kahlua Slices prompted fears that the liquor-laced biscuits would encourage children to drink.

1. Then for god's sake don't give your children any!

D'oh!

[Kadie]

2. I know.

When did ice cream become for children only?

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. I defy anyone to find a child who likes the taste of vodka

Or beer, or any alcohol.

Kids won't be into this at all.

[Kadie]

4. Yep

one taste and they would be done.

7. I loved beer when I was a kid!

Was always sneaking a drink from the can or bottle when my dad wasn't looking :evilgrin:

On the other hand, my mom's homemade whiskey & honey cough syrup, that shit kept me off hard liquor for years :puke:

9. Oh, That homemade cough syrup

YUCK!

That stuff was so nasty and it never helped the cough. I think mom was just trying to get me to pass out or something.

Sometimes she would make me drink tea with that really cheap drugstore bourbon in it. Icky, icky, icky.

13. Give her this cough syrup recipe instead...

One tablespoon honey
One tablespoon lemon
One tablespoon Ex-Lax

It doesn't do anything for your cold, but you'll be too scared to cough.

5. Ron con pasas has been an old time favorite in latin america.

(Rum & raisins)

6. I really prefer

The Haagen Daaz Bailey's flavored ice cream, personally ;)

8. wonder if they have Baskin Robins 31 down under

and if they do if they have Daquiri Ice (my favorite flavor). if so i'd find it rather hard how they can support this argument.

besides, a vodka flavored ice treat? what on earth is that gonna taste like? it's just gonna taste like essentially flavorless alcohol. vodka has such little flavor i can't imagine why people would bother.

11. Just put a Foster's in the freezer for about an hour...

beer slushies!

10. Tequila flavored lollypops

complete with worm! Do you want salt and lemon with that?

I would just like to say...yuck!

12. I use rum in my chocolate frosting recipe...

How about brandy laced fruitcakes, rum buns, and cherries flambeau?

Can't they find something better than this to gripe about?

14. What about Ben & Jerry's "Dublin Mudslide?"

Complete with Irish cream liqueur flavoring - mmmm!

15. Well, it's better than oyster-flavored ice cream

Or MeatLoafCicles...
