I "arrived".

[Mystlyfe77]

I'd buy it to support them for doing this, but that doesn't sound very tasty to me.

Anyone who's been married knows it's always the same sex.

Ba doo TSCHH!

I think it sounds good. Peanut butter pretzels are awesome. If I buy this the person at the counter would probably think I'm ***. It'd be like if I were to try buying tampons.

[clashcityrocker10]

That sounds delicious. I don't care what the cause is, I'll take some of that, please.

[Sarge51]

You must've saw that guy on comedy central today. lol

I am disturbed by this.

[Baanu_Rass]

I don't get it...

i actually don't have any idea what you're talking about

[OrdealByFire]

lol^

BTW I don't know if that's you in that picture Wurm, but I have a picture from when I was the same age that looks a lot like that. When I find it, I'm avataring it.

[OrdealByFire]

Ben & Jerry's had that beer and doughnut flavored ice cream for The Simpsons Movie a couple years back, too.

[killer_roach]

As much as I dislike Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield's politics, I have to applaud them for their innovative use of the capitalist system to get their point across.

What better way to win than from the inside, no?

[Sarge51]

i actually don't have any idea what you're talking about

Some guy was on there, talking about sex, and said that he "arrived early". Just seemed similar. lol

Come on, though, it can't be too bad. Peanut Butter, Fudge and Pretzels? How can that not taste good?

I mean, if you can stand not to think about two guys doing the do.

These people deserve medals.

[gosox333]

Man, some of those comments are downright nasty....

(By nasty, I mean bad. Not gross)

[RockBandRocker]

Don't be fooled!

This is just Chubby Hubby with double the chocolate and peanut butter!!

[Baanu_Rass]

I was going to do the same.
/ordealhatecommentsx50

Ordeal sux!

49 to go.

[OrdealByFire]

what's with the black text? am i the only one that can see it without highlighting... lol...?

[RicoTheAwesomeCat]

Not only does it sound delicious, but it's supporting a good cause.

Ben & Jerry's makes me happy in a totally non-homosexual fashion.:)

[MrFruitLord]

Well, I'm all for the cause, but the flavor doesn't sound that good.

[OrdealByFire]

that's it! I'm makin' a poll.

[Cubecubed]

Kudos to them.Seriously. :)

[Mystlyfe77]

that's it! I'm makin' a poll.

It better be both tasteful and respectful.

[OrdealByFire]

are you suggesting I'm a homophobe? gtfo.

[Cubecubed]

are you suggesting I'm a homophobe? gtfo.

you are usually less than tactful in how you describe things.

[MrFruitLord]

I refuse to vote on the poll simply because both the options make me sound like an idiot.

[OrdealByFire]

you are usually less than tactful in how you describe things.

I won't say anything negative because of your avatar.

ah just think of it as "yes" or "no", the only idiot here is the OP.

[Mystlyfe77]

are you suggesting I'm a homophobe? gtfo.

No. I am suggesting you might make a joke at the expense of homosexuals, though.

And even though I vote for the pretzels option, that's not the reason I dislike the flavor. Peanut butter ice cream is gross, and I dislike having peanut butter and chocolate together (despite liking them both individually). Yes, I dislike Reese's. Sue me.

[OrdealByFire]

:O

When I'm thinking like myself, I don't criticize stupid things like sexuality. That MAY SHOCK YOU, but it isn't me.

[Daemius]

Yes, I dislike Reese's. Sue me.

I'll see you in court! Phoenix Wright will be the prosecution! :p

[Mystlyfe77]

I'll see you in court! Phoenix Wright will be the prosecution! :p

Nice! I'll be fine if Wright is the prosecution, he's Japanese and doesn't know American law. ;)

[OrdealByFire]

That's just what YOU think...

[Daemius]

Nice! I'll be fine if Wright is the prosecution, he's Japanese and doesn't know American law. ;)

Curses! Foiled again.

[Baanu_Rass]

Curses! Foiled again.

Should have hired von Karma.

[pacifistWITHgun]

Curses! Foiled again.

Just call in Harvey Birdman, you'll be fine.


Anyways, since when did ice cream have a sexuality?

But that's referring to the ice cream truck and not the actual ice cream, eh?

[OrdealByFire]

i wonder if anybody will be offended by there being fudge in the ice cream.

[Mystlyfe77]

But that's referring to the ice cream truck and not the actual ice cream, eh?

It could be, or it could be a truck that sells "big *** ice cream."

[pacifistWITHgun]

It could be, or it could be a truck that sells "big *** ice cream."

But it's the "Big *** Ice Cream Truck (.com)"...

[NormanCoxwell]

Im lactose intolerant but I highly support *** rights. They're people too. Your beliefs and morals shouldnt deprive them of their rights.

Who are you talking to?

[pacifistWITHgun]

Yeah, but I think the real question is "what the hell does ice cream have to do with *** rights?" I really think this is nothing more than a marketing scam...

[NormanCoxwell]

Who are you talking to?

Im addressing the *** ice cream subject, aka no one and everyone.


Yeah, but I think the real question is "what the hell does ice cream have to do with *** rights?"

I believe its to raise awareness and support for Vermont to legalize *** marriage. Its like on the verge of doing it. The ice cream is just a way to publicize the cause. Its like Alex's Lemonade. And I doubt its a marketing scam, Ben&Jerrys is one those companys that profit during poor economic times. People eat ice cream when depressed. And in good economic times people eat ice cream. Ben&Jerrys dont need to worry about money.

[Mystlyfe77]

Yeah, but I think the real question is "what the hell does ice cream have to do with *** rights?" I really think this is nothing more than a marketing scam...

Ben & Jerry's have a history of using their ice cream to promote issues that don't have much to do with ice cream.
What does a carwash have to do with the cancer research? Nothing, but you see plenty of charity carwashes to raise money for issues such as that.

[OrdealByFire]

Ben and Jerry's supports more than just "issues" and laws.

[NormanCoxwell]

Ben and Jerry's supports more than just "issues" and laws.

I dont understand your post. Elaborate.

[OrdealByFire]

They support movies and other random things. Like I said earlier, "The Simpsons Movie" beer and doughnut flavored ice cream. God I wish I had tried that... lol.

[Mystlyfe77]

They support movies and other random things. Like I said earlier, "The Simpsons Movie" beer and doughnut flavored ice cream. God I wish I had tried that... lol.

That stuff is just a marketing scheme, though. The issues they support are not for marketing, but rather because they believe in them.

[pacifistWITHgun]

Ok, charity and awareness is fair game... Guess I probably should've used my reading comprehension skills better, lol.

If they were doing it just for the sake of doing it, then yeah, it would totally be a scam. Mind you, the way that issue is handled in the states is just ass backwards anyways...

[OrdealByFire]

Issues they support? What issues would there be in a Simpsons Movie Ice Cream?

[NormanCoxwell]

Issues they support? What issues would there be in a Simpsons Movie Ice Cream?

Universal pays them to make an ice cream to promote the movie.


Things like Phish Food and Cherry Garcia, for the sake of awesome.

[kiggidykev]

Don't be fooled!

This is just Chubby Hubby with double the chocolate and peanut butter!!

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw the name: "don't they already have that?"

[Mystlyfe77]

Issues they support? What issues would there be in a Simpsons Movie Ice Cream?

The Simpsons Movie isn't an issue. That's a marketing thing they got paid to do.

Issues are stuff like this, their "Yes Pecan" (a play on Obama's "Yes We Can" slogan) flavor, and their anti-war "American Pie (http://www.benjerry.com/company/sear/2006/sear06_9.1.1.cfm)" flavor.

[jeccaneko]

This is about as pointless and ridiculous as Men's Pocky and pink laptops marketed toward women.

[wcarnation]

Reading comments on popular news websites hurts my brain

[NormanCoxwell]

This is about as pointless and ridiculous as Men's Pocky and pink laptops marketed toward women.

Your missing the point. Its not marketed towards anyone, but rather to raise awareness. Its not remotely like pink laptops.

[kiggidykev]

Is there a Wife-Wife one as well? If not: SEXIST

[Cubecubed]

Is there a Wife-Wife one as well? If so: SEXY

fixed.

[Mystlyfe77]

fixed.

*high five*

[chumsicles]

There's lots of things that go well with ice cream; pretzels aren't one of them

[hmxhenry]

I started deleting comments discussing anything other than how delicious ice cream is, and then said "Ah, to hell with it. This whole thread will end up a mess." And it's not far from it, what with the "hilarious" "jokes" and rocky political discussion.

If you want to discuss the politics of Ben & Jerry's ice cream then you can head on over to a Ben & Jerry's site. Please try to avoid political discussions on the Rock Band forums in the future.
