I just got this in my in box and bounced back a comment to them. I think this otherwise great company in Ann Arbor needs to know how their customer base and potential customers feel about celebrating this inauguration: mailorder@zingermans.com "OK. This is really upsetting. I will boycott Zingerman's for 1 month. The next time you show your political bent where I can't ignore it I am done with Zingerman's. This man is nothing about democracy, with his executive orders and usurping of powers, his ignorance about the constitution and his flaunting of it we should instead be hanging crepe at the loss of our freedoms and the loss of the rule of law."

This would be where Zingerman’s learns that Republicans eat Ice Cream, too.

Well, this could be taken another way. At first glance I thought Barack-Y Road for inauguration was a bit of a slam (such as saying the next four years will be a rocky road).

Of course this gelato must be eaten with the fingers, as any utensil could be used as a weapon.

I met Ari eons ago, nice guy, didn’t know his politics, dang shame if he has gone the way of the rest of A-Squared...

Well perhaps you are right, if so it’s subtle and perhaps not a wise business move in any case. For a small business BO is a death knell.

From the site:For one week only, Josh is making a very special flavor: Barack-y Road. It's Bourbon vanilla gelato stuffed and mixed with marshmallows, butter-roasted peanuts, caramel, and homemade chocolate chips.

Actually, except for the name, it sounds pretty good. I can't find any connection with the Won except for the name. The price of $110.00 for six 12 ounce cups seems pretty steep though.
