While Ben & Jerry's Taste The Lin-Sanity hit a mildly sour note upon its release it initially featured fortune cookie bits, which offended some since Jeremy Lin was born here in 'Merica, so they were taken out of subsequent batches posthaste their latest flavor, Apple-y Ever After, is sure to make better headlines and be a hit with fans of sweet treats and marriage equality. Actually, it's not really a new flavor, technically. Ben & Jerry's UK renamed their apple pie ice cream Apple-y Ever After "in an effort to raise awareness about the importance of marriage equality."

They even gave the container a cute makeover, featuring two guys atop a wedding cake. Delightful.

However good Ben/Jerry’s may be, and whatever their politics, it fails on one important test — the “how much does it even cost in the first place” test. Too damn much, and that’s just at Walmart.
