Ben & Jerry's Unveils Their Schweddy Balls

"Schweddy Balls" is an homage to an old "Saturday Night Live" skit featuring Alec Baldwin as bakery owner Pete Schweddy, whose unique holiday offerings included something called "Schweddy Balls."

Sean Greenwood, a spokesman for the Vermont ice cream maker, said Thursday that the company isn't worried about offending people with the name. He says one of the company's principles is to do fun things and that it fits in with that, just as it did with previous flavors like Karamel Sutra and Half Baked.

Any sightings around town yet?

Steve, which source did you quote? This is one of the worst sentences ever to appear on LTH; I'd hate to think someone paid for it:

Believe it or not, it's the AP. http://news.yahoo.com/ben-jerrys-unveil ... 17460.html
