Ben & Jerry’s launches Republican primary ice cream (satire)

[Mikeystyle]

Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s, known for its unusual flavors and political activism, unveiled eight new flavors on Tuesday named after Republican presidential candidates.

While the company has launched celebrity-themed products in the past, this is its first venture involving politicians.

The company is known for flavors such as Chubby Hubby and Chunky Monkey, as well as celebrity-themed flavors like Cherry Garcia, Steven Colbert’s Americone Dream and Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night Snack.

“We tried to come up with flavors that captured the essence of who these candidates are. It’ll be interesting to see if people pick these ice creams based on the name itself or based on the flavoring,” said Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen. “We’ll be keeping track and publishing the results on a monthly basis.”

1. My favorites are:

Rick Perry’s Brain Freeze, a tea-flavored ice cream with a chocolate “oil” slurry, plus ginko and caffeine.

And

Rick Santorum’s Google Me Surprise, a rainbow-flavored sorbet with an unspecified “surprise” at the bottom.

I don't even know if I'd like the flavor, but I'd buy some if I could ever find it.

5. They should do one umbrella Repuke flavor

and it would be full of nuts, that's for sure.
