Parent Group Protesting Ben & Jerry’s Schweddy Balls Ice Cream
We were pretty amused to hear, a few weeks ago, that Ben & Jerry’s is producing a new ice cream flavor called Schweddy Balls, inspired by Alec Baldwin, Molly Shannon, and Ana Gasteyer’s classic, NPR-parodying Saturday Night Live skit. Not only is the concept hilarious, but the flavor — rum-spiked vanilla… Read More

Eight Musicians Who Sold Out, Made Us Laugh
It all started off last week. I was in a deli near my apartment, when I looked over and saw Elton John’s face peering up from the ice cream section of the freezer. No, I wasn’t hallucinating. He’s got his own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor — Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road — complete with a photoshopped-thin head shot. But he’s not the only musician who has “sold out” — and I’m using that term in the most literal way possible. After the jump, a list of some of the most egregious instances of an artist using their celebrity to hawk something ridiculous that we could come up with here at Flavorpill HQ.
