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.

[WayneS]

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.

[throwback]

Actually, the ingredients sound repulsive, so the endorsement seems appropriate. Proud to say I've never purchased this lefty enlightened brand and never will.

[Sig Sauer P220]

Ben & Dovers.

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

Double BARF!!! I won't be running to the store for this nauseous combination, whether it supports gay marriage or not....

[La Lydia]

I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to live in a place where you cannot buy Blue Bell vanilla. Once a year I am invited to a party put on by Texans where they bring in a shipment of Blue Bell for the event and I have not missed that party for 15 years.

[Keith Brown]

I quit buying back when they started supporting the anti gunners.

[Cicero]

I like Cherry Garcia.

[Secret Agent Man]

Just made it easier NOT to buy Ben and Jerrys. Anyway it’s $4 per little container, so that’s a turn off right there.

[maggief]

Could have gone with "Doublin' Mudslide."

[NRA1995]

Let them make fools of themselves, I don’t like their ice cream anyway.

[Secret Agent Man]

I think that’s the “Hippy Tuna” flavor...

[Sig Sauer P220]

How about ClusterFudge?

[Daveinyork]

Shouldn’t it be named Chubby Chubby?

[ridesthemiles]

I love ice cream, but i will not ever purchase another bite of Ben & Jerry’s because of their support of every Liberal and Homo cause.

[a fool in paradise]

You’ll never get the carpet fibers down.

[Paved Paradise]

Rutles to ya! I admit that I love their ice cream but haven’t bought it in years either - it’s way to expensive and a real artery clogger (very rich).

I buy the local brands of dairies nearby. Oh, and their political views are annoying.

[TexasAg]

If you’re willing to pay for it, you can have two whole gallons of it for a mere $119:

[Names Ash Housewares]

I won’t purchase their products.

Not since all that “peace pop” crap.

[US Navy Vet]

“rippled with fudge and peanut butter” Too Fuuny!

[RaiderRose]

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

OMG! I almost choked on my gum (still laughing and almost typed “gun” lol).

I hear Ben and Jerry's is going all-out with their new "Hubby Hubby" flavor ice cream... Yep, their going to pack a pound of fudge into every pint!

[Nathan Zachary]

"Ben & Jerry's (www.benjerry.com) is showing its support for the historic legalization of gay and lesbian marriage"

Well good for them. And they won't see me buying their stuff ever again.

[NRA1995]

Why not call it “Creemin’ Semen?”

[rightly_dividing]

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.

My sentiments exactly. They have never had a thin dime of my $$$ and never will. And I dont buy anything from leftist, if I am aware of their politics. Yep, I put my money where my heart is.

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

That flavor is packed full of fudge.......

[La Lydia]

I know, I know. But I just can’t see it. That’s $119 that really ought to go to my liposuction fund. Last time I was in Cancun there was a Blue Bell store, and I thought great, they can ship it all the way to southern Mexico to sell it, but not to Virginia.

[maggief]

LMAO!

[Sig Sauer P220]

Bathhouse Banana.

[TigersEye]

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

Yuck! I reject that on the basis of the ingredients alone.

Will they have a flavor to honor Teddy Kennedy? "Holds Mo Peel?" "Chappaquiddick Fridge?"

[kalee]

Haagen Daz coffee ice cream with hot fudge sauce...yummy

[Veto!]

ClusterFudge? FOTFL
