“No one can resist my Schweddy Balls!” Sorry, Ben & Jerry's, but apparently some people can.
A rather suggestive Saturday Night Live sketch
from 1998 features baker Pete Schweddy, played by Alec Baldwin,
proclaiming the undeniable appeal of his Schweddy Balls creation on NPR.
Ben & Jerry's has come out with their own limited-edition ice cream flavor, calling it an “ode”
to the classic sketch that “you won't be able to resist.” The flavor
is described as Fair Trade vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum, “loaded
with fudge covered rum and milk chocolate malt balls.”
That sounds pretty delicious, right? However, the ice cream's name
is a little too provocative for certain grocery store chains and the
American Family Association affiliate group One Million Moms. The Mississippi group has been vocal about their disdain for the flavor, calling for a boycott because of its “vulgar” title.
