Blue State Decadence


I saw with alarm this morning that a new series of Vermont-produced (Fmr Gov. Howard Dean; Rep. Bernie Sanders) Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavors are being rolled out in the supermarkets of California (Sen. Barbara Boxer; fmr Rep. Ron Dellums; fmr Gub. candidate Upton Sinclair). Some of the more suspicious flavors include:

Dave Matthews Band's Magic Brownies: Vanilla Ice Cream with Fudge Brownies and Raspberry Swirls

The Gobfather: Chocolate Ice Cream with Fudge Covered Almonds & a Nougat Swirl

Fossil Fuel: Sweet Cream Ice Cream with Chocolate Cookie Pieces, Fudge Dinosaurs & a Fudge Swirl (note clear bias toward evolutionary "science" here)

Have taken home pints of each to investigate further.
