“No one can resist my Schweddy Balls.”

All the oul ones in America moaning. Funny though, I heard that Oprah loved a mouthful of Schweddy Balls.

If I read the packing right, its coming out in limited numbers?
(says "Limited batch" on the pic in the article)
I would have just picked a tub of it up, maybe smiled at the name, put it back and carried on - but thats just me.

One million moms? no, one million bitches with kids.

deathrider · 26-09-2011 03:24PM

The description sounds mighty tasty though.

one million moms is the christian right group up in arms, of course they don't like ben and jerrys anyway because it's owned by liberals.

There'll be plenty of schweddy balls when that happens.

Wasn't there a Ben & Jerry flavour called 'Black & Tan' or something like that?

EDIT: Yup, confirms it!

Jesus. If they thinks thats offensive wait until they find out what they did to the native americans

StupidLikeAFox · 26-09-2011 04:19PM

Thats not fair

sunflower27 · 26-09-2011 04:23PM

Is anyone really surprised people found it offensive? :rolleyes:

GavRedKing · 26-09-2011 04:23PM

My only complaint is we get the shite flavours over here.

smash · 26-09-2011 04:23PM

They should bring out the chef special 'chocolate salty balls' next.

Err Caramel Choo-Choo?

mikemac · 26-09-2011 04:33PM

The ice cream is vanilla based with a hint of rum and fudge covered rum and malt balls.

Can we get it here?

Come to think of it, I think they have black and tan icecream too.
Not that it matters, just throwing it into the thread

cristoir1961 · 26-09-2011 07:21PM

Damn Liberal, pinko PC-brigade are at it again.

Oh wait it's conservatives who don't like this? Nothing to see here folks :P

Maybe that was true back in the day, but Ben & Jerry's has been a subsidiary of Unilever since 2000... so definitely a big-company brand, and about as liberal as P&G/Nestle/etc.
