Ben & Jerry's unveils Schweddy Balls ice cream
By JOHN CURRAN - Associated Press | AP ? Thu, Sep 8, 2011...

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) ? Ben & Jerry's is unveiling a new flavor, and it doesn't sound too tasty.

"Schweddy Balls" is an homage to an old "Saturday Night Live" skit featuring Alec Baldwin as bakery owner Pete Schweddy, whose unique holiday offerings included something called "Schweddy Balls."

Sean Greenwood, a spokesman for the Vermont ice cream maker, said Thursday that the company isn't worried about offending people with the name. He says one of the company's principles is to do fun things and that it fits in with that, just as it did with previous flavors like Karamel Sutra and Half Baked.

The new flavor is available at scoop shops and supermarkets. It consists of vanilla ice cream, rum, fudge-covered rum balls and milk chocolate malt balls.

IIRC it was a skit that was imitating an NPR program, with the appropriate "tone" that only NPR can provide.  Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer were the hosts of the show

I don't eat Ben & Jerry's for 2 reasons. Most important is their sugar content is dreadfully high and there are plenty of great treats out there that are lower glycemic and healthier that don't put money into liberal hypocrite's pocketbooks. I am very sure that most liberals are happy licking sweaty testicles. XO comes to mind for one.
