Ben and Jerrys - Oh No, They Didn't!

Oh yes they did. They went and made an ice cream flavor called Schweddy Balls.



What? You didn't see Alec Baldwin as Pete Schweddy on "The Delicious Dish?" Shame on you. I'm embedding it here, advertisement and all. It's totally worth it.



I just watched it again. Never gets old.

One of my favorite things to do while I'm in DC is visit one of the many Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shops. I almost always get the same thing - one scoop Chocolate Therapy, one scoop Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz. But then I saw the Schweddy Balls announcement, and I knew I had to get me some of that.



It was lovely, if a little unexciting. Not really the punch of flavor and chunks that I'm used to from the Ben & Jerry's kitchens. I think I could have done without the rum balls, I prefer malted milk balls, anyway. The balls themselves could have been a bit larger. They were too small to really get your mouth around.

Here it is, nestled safely beneath a scoop of Buzz Buzz Buzz.




Mmmmmm, balls. No one can resist a Schweddy Ball.

  1. I saw this and thought about a post too.  However you went a step further by actually going and eating some.  Now you could do your own Schweddy Balls youtube clip.
    They need bigger balls - very good!

  2. Holy crap this is hilarious.  My husband brought me something called "Clusterfluffer" that is peanut butter and marshmallow and caramel... actually I think I might go and try it RIGHT NOW.
