Name that flavor: Make your own Ben and Jerry’s Obama ice cream

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 18, 2008 08:33 PM

AP reports that Barack Obama supporters Ben and Jerry, the Vermont ice cream-selling moonbats, have named a flavor in honor of his campaign–“Cherries for Change”–and are rolling out a fleet of “ObamaMobiles” (hat tip: reader Jim R.) to give away their political desserts:

The founders of Ben & Jerry’s endorsed Barack Obama on Monday and lent his Vermont campaign two “ObamaMobiles” that will tour the state and give away scoops of “Cherries for Change” ice cream.

“If there was ever a need for real change, and if there ever was a candidate to inspire us and make that happen, it’s now,” said Ben Cohen.

Added Jerry Greenfield: “Barack is showing that when you lead with your values and follow what you have inside that good things will happen.”

Echoing Obama, Greenfield said he and Cohen succeeded when they opened their ice cream shop 30 years ago in Burlington by doing things differently, instead of copying the “tired ways” of doing business.

“What we saw is that when you want real change it’s not a marketing slogan. You have to do things differently. And that is not going to be done by someone who’s been involved in the system for years and years,” Greenfield said, echoing Obama’s criticisms of his rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“Cherries for Change?” Bah. So bland and uninspiring.

Can you do better?

Head on over to the flavor generator!

I made the Messiahmallow Mash–a confection of empty calories with a caramel and gooey honey base mixed with ample chunks of fudge, gummy bears, and pretzels, finished off with swirls of soft marshmallows and more fudge. Unbearably sweet and heavenly with zero nutritional value:

Here’s my second suggestion: Cherry Obama. He stole the ingredients of B&J’s Cherry Garcia ice cream and called it his own:

And the obvious one several readers have already e-mailed–Baracky Road:

    At 1:00 “They hate all of us for the same reason(s).

    “Political oppression”
    “Economic exploitation” and
    “Social degredation”
    “All of them from the same enemy”
    The verbage after that segment at 1:24 is unintelligible.
    The next overlayed speaker is equally unintelligble, but the sound effects imply a car crash/carbomb? ending with the words 1:40 “kill with this violence” “?? this attack”?
    Further along, 2:05 you hear the reference:
    “I am reminded of young David, I am reminded of young David the shepherd boy who stood up before the great warrior of the Philistines. Young David having all of the courage. There must be someone somewhere. There has got to be somebody somewhere . Young David took that one small stone and with the faith of his God and SLAYED THE GIANT!”. . .”CRY HOPE” . . .ending with a tribal chant & heavy drumbeat escalating in intensity until the final burst of machine gunfire.

    Comparing the muslim minority to David? The giant /small stone to 9/11?

    The audacity of muhammedan hope?

    Huge chunks of ape’s delight and graham crackers that won’t fill you up — like a bunch of empty words (and music awards) that feel good but don’t really have any substance.

    What we saw is that when you want real change it’s not a marketing slogan. You have to do things differently.

    Does Jerry mean like not do things at all? I’m not quite sure how that’s different, but if there’s anything Mr. O’s got going for him, it’s a long list of non-accomplishments.

    Since its being widely reported that Obama is attracting a higher educated vote than Hillary, I’ll take your above comment as a compliment to the fine people of New Orleans. If that’s not the case, please explain what you mean by this comment.

    As to this silly little naming contest, I’m surprised that no one has come up with the obvious:

    Obama’s flavor would have to be some derivation of Neapolitan: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. However, the strawberry pink is hidden under the chocolate and vanilla.

    The trouble when you get into politics, running a business, is that you tend to alienate a lot of potential customers, because of your views. If I was running a business, political candidates would be taboo, especially in an election that may be close. Why alienate 50% of the population against you? Not good business in my book. I used to like B&J’s ice cream, even been to their Vermont factory once. I don’t buy it anymore. I took my business to another product.

    I concur with your statement. Ben and Jerry just got added to my list of things I do not touch or buy. List is getting long. Really long.

    Ben and Jerry’s Halfrican Fudge Ripple. For each quart purchase, $1 will be given to the Laura and George Bush African Trust to help purchase machetes for impoverished Sierra Leone.
