It's hard not to get excited about a new Ben & Jerry's flavor, particularly the creative names, including Cherry Garcia and Half Baked. B&J's newest release is making headlines with its name: Schweddy Balls.
The thought of American youngsters asking mom and dad if they can have a scoop of Schweddy Balls has riled up the gay-hating American Family Association. The group is calling on the ice cream gurus to change the unsavory name, or for a boycott of the tasty treat, which consists of vanilla ice cream and rum-and-fudge-flavored balls.
