Yes, It's True: Ben & Jerry's Introduces 'Schweddy Balls' Ice Cream Flavor
NPR ^ | September 7, 2011 | Eyder Peralta

Posted on 09/09/2011 7:28:18 PM PDT by Drango

"a new Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor based on a Saturday Night Live skit that pokes fun at NPR....in case you don't get the reference, the skit is a hilarious commentary on NPR's, um, uniquely soothing sound. [Alec] Baldwin plays Pete Schweddy, a guest on a fake NPR show called Delicious Dish. Pete makes holiday treats like cheese balls, popcorn balls, rum balls and his famous Schweddy balls. The skit is an exercise in double entendres."

It’s way past time for Lorne Michaels to make like a lemming and jump off a cliff somewhere. Maybe if we’re lucky, Tina Fey will piggyback for the ride!

Thursday nights used to be funny. But “Parks and Recreation?” My ingrown toenails have more humor...

Move on, folks... nuthin to see here...

It will be pulled from shelves before the ink dries on the newsletter.

Do you know that the word “fey” in Yiddish means “queer”?

SOmetimes it becomes “feigeluch”.

Send a case of Schweddy Balls to Barney Frank, and a case of “Chocolate Turds” to Harry Reid.

I was at a restaurant, can't remember where, but there was a desert described as “fudge packed pound cake with a light drizzle of creme” or something along those lines. Needless to say it was easy to stay on my diet that day.

I think Ben & Jerry just jumped the shark. The Vermont Cow must have quit.

This one is destined for the flavor graveyard.

It was Steve Baldwin, not his older, fatter brother in the SNL skit if I remember correctly

I’m fairly certain that this is Alec, but I could be wrong:

From Wikipedia:

"In September 2010, the company agreed to stop labeling their ice cream and frozen yogurt as "all natural." The Center for the Science in the Public Interest, a consumer-advocacy group, had urged Ben & Jerry's to stop labeling their ice cream as "all natural" due to the company's use of corn syrup, alkalised cocoa, and other chemically modified ingredients.[25][26]"
