Ben and Jerry....American geniuses.
We've all heard the hype, but as soon as you've tasted it, it's hard not to praise. I'm referring to BEn and Jerry's Ice Cream of course. In addition to the tasty flavors, the company is known for its work supporting charity and environmental causes.
NOw, comes news of a new flavor dedicated to the source of Truthiness itself, Stephen COlbert. NO official word from the company, but a picture of the carton design has been leaked.

Yes, you are reading that correctly. What is likely already your favorite ice cream company has now joined forces with your favorite political satirist based on a winger personality. Every time you take a bite of Americone, you know just exactly how sweet life in the US can be. Or Vermont at least.
Instead of a Poll, I encourage you all to give homage to your favorite ben and jerry ice creams. Who should the next personality be? Is this a brave new world for Ben and Jerry's?....has anything like this been done before, in terms of boldness? THey even put a picture of the guy on the front, as opposed to a cleverly worded substitute.
Anyway, I can't wait for this flavor to come out. The new flavors are what keep me coming back, that and the occasional visit to Santa Monica or other places that are blessed to have a Ben and Jerry's store. Lucky Bastards.
