September 9, 201115 yr Active Members Schweddy Balls Ice Cream: Taste-Testing The Newest Ben & Jerry's Flavor Ice cream and SNL enthusiasts were atwitter yesterday with the news that Ben & Jerry's was releasing Schweddy Balls ice cream. HuffPost Food just couldn't resist those schweddy balls, so we got our hands on a pint (okay, four actually). The flavor is a vanilla base with two kinds of balls: chocolate covered rum balls and chocolate covered milk balls. Molly Shannon may have told Pete Schweddy that he had some beautiful balls, but our taste testers were decidedly more mixed: "Disappointed for all the hype." "Disappointing. Essentially just vanilla ice cream with some Whoppers in it. Not the flavor explosion I would expect out of Schweddy Balls." "Good vanilla ice cream, as is standard from Ben & Jerry, but I didn't think there were enough balls in the ice cream. Even when you open the carton, you can see, like, a single ball, and that's it." "The quality of the malt balls itself is pretty great -- they're crunchy and contrast nicely with the ice cream. Schweddy Balls suffers from the unfortunate problem of un-ballsyness. There just aren't enough balls to go around. Sad. "The flavor isn't nearly as exciting as the name. Not nearly as rummy as I expected, and the texture of the balls was a little on the soft side." "The ice cream itself is nice and vanilla-beany, but no hint of rum as described. Not enough balls for an ice cream whose main selling point is ballage, but the rum ball I tried was nice and rummy." "Not enough balls! And the freezing of a malt ball is sort of a weird texture." "It would be better if there were more balls." Final grade: C. Sadly, maybe we can resist those Schweddy Balls after all. See original article at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/09/schweddy-balls-ice-cream-ben-and-jerrys-review_n_955632.html
September 10, 201115 yr Active Members Aren't there some escorts that could fit one or more of the various descriptions offered? As well as some clients? In some ways it was like reading about a prune danish review, all squishy and slightly tasty. Best regards, RA1

September 10, 201115 yr Be careful the clerk might think whether you have something else in mind. I might ask a hot clerk too to see whether he gives me a weird look. Um "How do you spell that ?" Anyways, my local grocery store has in store organic ice cream and it's pretty good and it's slightly cheaper than brand name ice cream.

September 10, 201115 yr I cannot believe their board of directors allowed this. It's in extremely poor taste IMO.
