As Ben & Jerry’s unveiled their newest ice cream flavor, Saturday Night Live fans did a double take. “Schweddy Balls”, one of the most popular skits in SNL history, is bound to attract some attention... but will the flavor be loved or hated by consumers?
(If you've never seen this skit, please listen to the clip below.)
The new flavor is a vanilla ice cream with a “hint of rum”, and contains fudge covered rum balls and milk chocolate malt balls.
Although the ice cream sounds unappealing, Ben & Jerry’s must not be worried about sales! Their witty and unique ice cream names have amused and fed Americans for 33 years. For a month in 2009, their “Chubby Hubby” was renamed “Hubby Hubby,” celebrating the arrival of same-sex marriage in Vermont.
As intrigued as I am at this strange combination, I just started eating ice cream this spring…. so I think I might have to pass on this particular flavor.
Congratulations to Ben & Jerry’s for yet another amusing treat: may your balls always be Schweddy’s!
