New ice cream named for Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert may have no taste for the truth, but he does have a sweet tooth. Ben & Jerry's has named a new ice cream in honor of the comedian: "Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream."
It's vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel.
Announcing the new flavor Wednesday, Ben & Jerry's called it: "The sweet taste of liberty in your mouth."
The Vermont-based ice-cream maker is known for naming its flavors after people such as Jerry Garcia, Wavy Gravy and the band Phish — which Colbert sees as a political bias.
"I'm not afraid to say it. Dessert has a well-known liberal agenda," Colbert said in a statement. "What I hope to do with this ice cream is bring some balance back to the freezer case."
Colbert, who spoofs flag-waving conservative pundits on his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report," is donating his proceeds to charity through the new Stephen Colbert Americone Dream Fund, which will distribute the money to various causes.

Bringing balance back to the freezer case. Too funny.

What about his eagle "Stephen, Jr."? If so, I am curious in finding out how to track him. It was on his show a week ago or so, but I was 1/2 asleep.

People make fun of me for only liking vanilla.
So I vent. :(
They say people who like vanilla have very strong personalities and are quite colorful people...or so I've read.

I too only liked vanilla... but that was in the dark ages.. you know, when the only options were essentially vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry - and maybe butter pecan
Now you get ice cream mixed with whatevertheheckyoucanimagine - like a nice beef filet with green peppercorns, pralines and cream.
try colbertnation.com or comedy central's website.

Well thank you friend.
That's very nice of you to say.
Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream, "great" ice cream, or the "greatest" ice cream?
