Ben & Jerry’s names new Ice Cream Flavor for Stephen Colbert

Ben & Jerry introduced a new ice cream flavor today in honor of Stephen Colbert. It is called Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream.

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.” Ben & Jerry introduced a new ice cream flavor today for Stephen Colbert, it is called Americone Dream. It is a vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel. Ben & Jerry’s calls 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. Colbert jokingly says that Ben & Jerry's dessert is a liberal agenda, so with the introduction of Americone Dream there will be a political balance. Jokes aside, Stephen Colbert is doing a noble act, with the proceeds from this ice cream, he is planning to donate to his Stephen Colbert Americone Dream Fund, which will distribute the money to various charitable causes. Ben & Jerry always make great ice creams, so this one should be a hit also. I tried their Ben & Jerry recipe book, it is really fabulous and tastes great.
