Some supermarket chains a refusing to carry a Ben & Jerry flavor because it has a naughty name: http://news.yahoo.com/stores-freezing-ben-jerrys-flavor-213431173.html

I'm not a parent, but doesn't the One Million Moms group have something more constructive to do? There are needy children in the US and all over the planet, but go ahead and waste your time over freakin' ice cream.

    I'm glad they have Red Herrings like this to chase so that they don't go after anything important. If they succeed in stopping this ice cream, all we have lost is ice cream. At least they aren't protesting anything that threatens our civil rights in a real or serious way.

    Honestly are young children even going to get the reference?

    I agree. We actually went to Ben and Jerry's and tried it. It was fun in the store asking to try a sample. My friend was whispering the name and the girl behind the counter said, Oh just say it out loud, look at me I have to wear this T-shirt advertising in public."

    A good laugh is worth a lot!!!!!!!!

    Seriously. Its ice cream. And kids probably don't understand the innuendo anyway, and if they do, they are older or you have bigger things to worry about.

    I find this ridiculous. Seriously children are not going to get the reference and if they do get it chances are they talk about a whole lot worse when mom/dad aren't around.

    I heard about this and the whole controversy with the crazy mom's group. All it did was inspire me to buy some. It's just ice cream!! So, I bought some and ate it while watching the original SNL skit with Alec Baldwin. I am now a fan of both. (And yes, I'm a mom - but I sure as hell am not crazy!)

    I think Ben & Jerry's should come out with Red Rum flavor. I'll bet the Million Moms wouldn't even get the joke.

    Well, I just got back on track, but if I EVER find this in the grocery store, I'm SO getting it. I have been looking for it since it came out. We don't have a Ben and Jerry's close by either. So, phooey, if they get it banned before it reaches me!

    Some of the comment are hilarious:

    "I'm thinking "Caramel Toe" would make a big hit!"

    "I work at a supermarket. Some guy asked me if I had sweaty balls. I had no idea what he was doing. I just stared at him!"

    That's brilliant. Especially this time of year. Someone should write Ben and Jerry's head office and suggest that.
