Ben & Jerry's creates "Schweddy Balls" ice cream flavor
By Jason McLure
LITTLETON, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Vermont's Ben & Jerry's newest ice cream flavor sounds more likely to tickle funny bones than taste buds: "Schweddy Balls."
The company known for provocative or progressive themed names for its frozen treats said the latest creation was a tribute to a 1998 skit on NBC's Saturday Night Live starring actor Alec Baldwin.
In the skit, Baldwin plays a baker named Pete Schweddy who is trying to market his rum balls, popcorn balls and cheese balls as "Schweddy Balls."
"I don't think it's shock marketing," said Sean Greenwood, a spokesman for the company, a unit of Netherlands-based Unilever N.V. "It isn't 'Let's try to put a dirty name on a pint and sell it' but 'Let's try to put a tie on a show that's been running for 37 years.'"
The flavor, which mixes vanilla and rum-flavored ice cream with fudge-covered rum balls and chocolate malt balls, will be available through the end of the year.
The company promises consumers that the limited batch will be a favorite, echoing a line from the skit. "You won't be able to resist our Schweddy Balls!"
Past popular flavors include "Cherry Garcia," in homage to the late Grateful Dead guitarist; "Karamel Sutra," a play on the name of an ancient Indian sex manual; and ...
