So, I saw Ben & Jerry's on a list in a thread the other day...

I think it was a list of Republican contributors. Someone commented that having to give up Ben & Jerry's was just terrible. Well, GOOD NEWS, you can have your Ben & Jerry's. Check this out:

Excerpt:

"SPOKANE, Wash. - Call it the burning Bush. The co-founder of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream is on the road, towing a 12-foot-tall effigy of President Bush with fake flames shooting out of the pants.

Ben Cohen says it's an acceptable way to point out what he calls the president's lies."

1. Ben and Jerry no longer own Ben and Jerry's.

It was sold to Unilever.

2. Oh, stupid me....

Darn!

On edit: It's still a good story though.

3. By the way, I saw the Pants on Fire mobile here in Austin.

Pretty neat. :-)

5. Oooh.... I'm jealous!

4. They don't own it anymore....and it's not as good a Blue Bell anyway!

.....well except for B'n'J's Pistachio...damn! :D

[democratreformed]

6. I've never eaten Ben & Jerry's

Around here, it's Yarnell's (made in the next town over).

7. I've only tried the Pistachio once actually......

....it was damn tasty....but B'n'J's only sold in a couple stores in my area...Blue Bell is our biggest supplier around here...their Chocolate Covered Cherry is my favorite...but I stay away from that isle in the grocery store these days!! :D

8. Blue Bell is the best, from happy cows in Brenham, Texas.

Something else from Texas that does not suck, for all you haters out there.
