I've been wanting to sample Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls, but they're hard to find. Why do you suppose that is? They sound delicious. Has anyone eaten Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls?

Nope.

Seems some stores are not selling this special edition flavor... due to pressure from mothers' groups. Not sure why. A kid who sees it in the freezer section is likely not to connect it with the SNL skit or the body part. I find the boycott to be an unnecessary waste of time.

Hmm..don't recall the SNL skit..thought it was a South Park reference. Gross name for a product.

Apparently the mothers held off complaining (despite really wanting to) about B&J's flavor, 'Hubby Hubby' which celebrated gay marriage. Schweddy Balls was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Wacky conservatives, way to make good use of your time.

I'm awaiting the 'Go Fudge Yourself' flavor to debut as a response.

I thought the problem with the Shweddy Balls flavour was that it had liquor in it...

Satty, conservative is only a label that means something to those that are predisposed to others acting in such a behavior.

wish i could find some, love to try it. pumpkin cheesecake is awesome w/ apple pie.

It was a shortcut because "wacky people who feel the need to force their definition of morality on the general public in spite of the lack of interest the general public has in having the definitions of right and wrong decided by one group that doesn't represent America as a whole" is a bit of a mouthful.

Yes..too many words to type. Another good old term for describing the same backward group is 'square'.

It may be a mouthful, but it is far more precise.

Concision before precision, it is the internet after all.

Meh, labels are part of the problem anyway.

this can go for just about any topic....practically all of them. which is good and bad, but often horrific.

I agree camino.

Wacky conservatives, way to make good use of your time.

they do nothing constructive and have nothing better do to. We need to be more like Europe IMHO>

This is partly true.

don't knock it till you try it. and just for reference, the pies i eat are made with arkansas black variety, so i'm not sure what you're used to.

That certainly describes more than 1 group.

Of course it does, I had to PC my definition down before anyone got their panties in a wad. That said, One Million Moms is a far-right conservative group, affiliated with the far-right conservative American Family Association, so yeah, conservatives are the reason you can't buy Schweddy Balls.

Just imagine if you could get EVERYTHING, EVER MADE (or PROPOSED), at ANY TIME, FOREVER, just for YOU....

A prototype of each concept car I've ever made and my own private, Nurburgring-rivalling racetrack to drive them on...

If you can transport me to this ultimate free market Libertarian fantasy land, I'll take a Death Star. And I dont even like Star Wars.

yay for 1 dimension "politics"....ugh

So it's the usual idiot fringe groups. AFA is based in Mississippi, a state renowned for the ignorant and backward.
