MEMBER DIARY

Ben and Jerry’s has created, well re-named, an Ice Cream in Obama’s Honor

Yes Pecan. The profits from the sale of this new flavor will, of course, go to a “nonpartisan” group as briefly noted in the linked article:

The proceeds for the ice cream will go to Common Cause, liberally leaning and described as “a nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy organization founded as a vehicle for citizens to make their voices heard in the political process.”

Now this is all well and good and I don’t really care that Ben and Jerry’s did this, but I believe that we here at RedState could have offered a plethora of names that would have been soooo much more clever and appropriate. The description of this new flavor is here but I will also quote so you don’t have to go to there page:

“YES PECAN!” An Inspirational Blend! Amber Waves of Buttery Ice Cream With Roasted Non-Partisan Pecans.

I think we could do better…Speciallist I expect you to have a great comment, maybe even two….;^)

    I guess the joke makes sense in Vermont, but it won’t work in the South, where the name of the nut is pronounce properly, thus:

    pi-kahn

    My Wife is from Vermont, I transplanted here from AZ, via CO, I have said pi-kahn my whole life.

    One thing I didn’t include in the diary, what exactly do Ben and Jerry mean by and inspirational blend , could this be due to his mother being white and his father being black???? Just kidding…;^)

    I think my favorite is a tossup between Rocky Economic Road and Jesse Jackson’s Double Nut Crunch.

    Thanks so much for the contributions.

    it is not really a new flavor, just relabeling an old one – a prefect description of Obama.

    and ice cream. I used to like Ben and Jerry’s, but now only buy Haagen Dazs when I go first class. You get all the fat and even more sugar!

    Chicken, though Obama hasn’t promised one in every pot… YET!

    “That Milk and Honey is just around the bend….”

    While originally written against Reagen/Thatcher (that actually did return us to “Good Times and Positive Economies” it is so much more appropriate now….

    …knowing the racist propensities of the progressive Left, seeking to subjugate a racial class for political privilege, I was somewhat surprised that they weren’t relabeling Chunky Monkey in Obama’s honor.

    And I think my brain now is probably going to hell for actually adopting that mindset long enough to type it out…
