Would that changing people's attitudes were as easy as changing the name of a popular ice cream flavor!

Ben & Jerry's (www.benjerry.com) is showing its support for the historic legalization of gay and lesbian marriage in its home state of Vermont, and marriage equality for everyone (www.freedomtomarry.org) by changing the name of its popular Chubby Hubby ice cream to "Hubby Hubby" throughout September, featuring Hubby Hubby sundaes at all its ice cream shoppes in Vermont.

Chubby Hubby/"Hubby Hubby" features fudge covered peanut butter-filled pretzels in vanilla malt ice cream rippled with fudge and peanut butter.

That’s discriminating. Where’s the Fatty Bulldyke flavor?

[Oberon]

That's a shame. I actually like the ice cream, but I certainly won't be buying it with that monicker stuck to it.

[dancusa]

Plump Rump.

[Zeppelin]

How much fudge are they able to pack into a pint?

Nevermind, I don’t wanna know.

[elhombrelibre]

Wonder what they’ll put in it for those clients who think there is nothing deviant about hubby-hubby love?

[Mr. K]

It looks like a cream filled hershey highway on the cover

[Carl LaFong]

‘Fudge covered’ , eh?

[Dr. Thorne]

I wonder if people will start taking containers of this ice cream out of the freezer cases in grocery stores and leaving them to melt on room temp shelves elsewhere in the stores?

[xcamel]

Not “Famous Anus” ??

[Artemis Webb]

Actually it’s just being called “Hubby Hubby” on it’s website. The actual containers will not be relabeled.

As for me I don’t care as I prefer Haagan Daz.

[Rutles4Ever]

I haven’t eaten Ben and Jerry’s ice cream in maybe fifteen years or so. Total trash organization, and enemies of the unborn.

[yarddog]

I have never tasted Ben & Jerry’s nor will I ever.

I try to avoid if I can, any radical leftist companies. A few times it is unavoidable but I can surely do without a particular brand of ice cream.

Wouldn't Hubby's Chubby for Hubby be a more accurate name if they are going to "honor" the new gay "marriage" law.

[maggief]

[pissant]

LOL

[OCCASparky]

Just one more reason not to eat their overpriced crap. Want to see a moonbat’s head explode? Tell them that Ben and Jerry’s has been cited more times for environmental violations in VT than has Vermont Yankee Nuclear.

[Snickering Hound]

I'll just stick with Blue Bell...

[La Lydia]

Haagen Daz’ Toasted Coconut with Sesame Brittle ice cream is a food of the Gods. I have to limit myself to one pint a week.
