Ted Nugent, rock musician, avid outdoorsman and defender of gun rights, has come out in support of "Gun Nut" ice cream, a new flavor unveiled by a company billing itself as "the conservative alternative to liberal Ben & Jerry's."

Star Spangled Ice Cream Company announced the new partnership yesterday in a statement.

"Star Spangled Ice Cream, the ice cream with a conservative flavor, is proud that Ted Nugent had endorsed our newest politically incorrect flavor, Gun Nut," said company Vice President Richard Lessner. "Ted Nugent is a great defender of the people's right to bear arms. We believe Gun Nut is a perfect complement to the wild-game recipes in Ted's best-selling cookbook, 'Kill It and Grill It.'"

Nugent recently made news with the announcement of a new reality TV show, "Surviving Nugent," where contestants test their endurance while living off the land on the rocker's rural spread.

"This ice cream is awesome!" Nugent is quoted as saying on the company's website. "After I kill it and grill it, I plan to finish my feast with a bowl of Gun Nut!"

The new flavor is described as "coconut almond chip."

According to the statement, the company has partnered with Nugent and Gun Owners of America in the promotion of Gun Nut. The firm plans to donate $1 from the sale of each quart of Gun Nut to the educational work of the Gun Owners Foundation Gun Safety Project. Nugent, who heads United Sportsmen of America, works closely with GOA.

Star Spangled Ice Cream Company sells its product via its website. Besides Gun Nut, flavors include I Hate the French Vanilla, Nutty Environmentalist, Iraqi Road and Smaller Govern-mint. Star Spangled donates 10 percent of the profits from the sale of its original four flavors to charities supporting the U.S. Armed Forces.

In the statement, the company made a point to note who was not endorsing the new ice cream flavor: "Among the celebrity non-endorsers of Gun Nut are Barbra Streisand, Rosie O'Donnell, Alec Baldwin, Al Franken, Al Gore, Michael Moore and the Dixie Chicks."

Ted Nugent is my hero!

Among the celebrity non-endorsers
Always a good way to judge those positions that you have not had time to thoroughly check out. Who is opposed to them!

Just gotta love it. Gave an autographed copy of "Kill It and Grill It" to my pastor this week. He loved it; used to hunt and grow his own food for years.........and an old rock fan as well. :)

I guess Ben & Jerry aren't looking forward to the new competition.

What would be really great is if "Star Spangled Ice Cream" business booms and leaves Ben & Jerry in the dirt. I'll do my part to help!

Do they have any retail outlets? I think I read where they have a store in Baltimore that's selling the ice cream. Is that the only place? I can't seem to find any answers on their website.

The new flavor is described as "coconut almond chip."

How can it be "Gun Nut" ice cream without a flavoring of Hoppe's #9?

I like it!!!! Where can I buy it!?

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

just a hint of sulfur.

"Surviving Nugent" is a hoot. The episode I saw showed Ted and his wife reducing a "vegan" to tears at the dinner table by telling her how hypocritical she was to push her lifestyle on others.

Ted flipped a chunk of butter into her pot of beans knowing that it was against her vegan code.

I only wish I had an iota of the talent you have for these sort of things. In my post I should have mentioned that I got the list from their web page.

BTW, if you ever provide an L.I.T. class, I'll sign up.

The part I loved was where Ted's ranch hand woke up the contestants in the middle of the night.

He told them they had 5 minutes to jump into the pool and save 10 to 12 geese. He told them Ted had gotten his shotgun and was headed to the pool to kill them all!
