So moms who have trouble swallowing this flavor get to cockblock the rest of us?
 
2011-10-21 10:34:16 AM
I could go for some balls right about now.

She said they felt obligated, though, especially given that they did not step forward with their concerns about its "Hubby Hubby" flavor, a play on its "Chubby Hubby" flavor and created to recognize same-sex marriages.

Small-minded bigots, got it.

Shame retailers give two shiats about them.

This. I think it might behoove the Power of Fark to start a campaign to urge retailers to carry the flavor.

After all the hoop-lah, I'm genuinely curious as to what this ice cream tastes like. I guess there really is no such thing as bad publicity.

This ice cream is nothing special. Vanilla with just the slitest hint of Rum (whereas rum raisin beats you over the head with rum) and some lame mostly chewey malt balls. I would be surprised if this had made any money without the name. It's not awful. It just isn't special.

I really despise these groups that think they have to push their morality on everyone else. If you want to shield your kids from it don't buy it.
 
2011-10-21 12:07:01 PM
Is it any good?

It kind of reminded me of a White Russian. I know that a White Russian has neither vanilla nor rum, but the cream + alcohol thing sort of has a similar effect. The balls were okay. It's not my favorite, but you're right, it's not bad, either.

I found it at Whole Foods, for those who are wondering where you can get it.
 
2011-10-21 12:38:05 PM
Arrrggghh!! I've looked for it at Albertsons, Safeway, QFC, and Central Market.....and came up with nada.

In europe, you can buy Mozartskugeln. Have been able to for a long, long time. We get spun up over the dumbest bullshiat here. People need to grow the fark up.

Yabbut they aren't Mozartverschwitztenkugeln. Because that would be "bad".

You mean Hole Foods, AMIRITE?
 
2011-10-21 01:22:09 PM
I found it at wal-mart. It was ok.
 
2011-10-21 01:23:31 PM
Wegman's has it. They probably didn't want to anger Alec.
 
2011-10-21 01:24:15 PM
I finally found a some last night. It's not bad, but would probably be better without the malt balls.
 
2011-10-21 01:30:10 PM
Nobody around here (NE Ohio) is carrying it that I know of.

Nothing good has ever come from a "Mississippi-based moms organization."

You've had better balls?
 
2011-10-21 01:36:54 PM
Can't seem to find it in the big chains in MN. But I haven't exactly been scouring the Earth trying to find it

Further proof that the nation is dividing into two camps - Maude Flanders vs. Beavis & Butthead.

It's really hard to find Schweddy Balls in your grocer's freezer

Dancin_In_Anson: Is it any good?

Yes. I mean, it's not my favorite flavor...I'd rather have the Red Velvet Cake... but I'll double down and buy a few pints now, just to piss people off.

Vanilla ice cream, with a slight hint of rum, and chocolate covered covered malt balls..

The one I had was vanilla with blobs of fudge-covered rum and chocolate covered malt balls.

I don't eat much ice cream (anymore damnit) and if I'm going to tear into some I'd like to have something that is more of a SHIAT FARKING HELL GODDAMN YES! kind of thing.

Jimmy Fallon's Late Night Snack is what you describe.

I don't always eat ice cream, but when I do, it has farking potato chips in it.

Strange how a pint of ice cream will turn their kids into rapists or even worse, gays or something. Maybe these busybodies should spend their loads of free time being maybe... parents. Actually, it's probably better for their kids that they spend their time on foolish crusades instead.

I really couldn't have cared less, but now that I see this in the media again and again, I'll buy one if I see it.

I predicted that an ice cream flavour named after a fifteen-year-old joke would have been a hit.

Grocery stores are public places and as such citizens are well within their right to let the business know their feelings.

So are you, run to your local grocery store and tell them how much you want Schweddy Balls, that you want those Schweddy Balls for this weekend and will probably swallow the whole thing from those Schweddy Balls.

I know I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some Schweddy Balls to try.
 
2011-10-21 02:39:34 PM
hey, maybe Five Guys could carry Schweddy Balls?

"Last night I had Five Guys and some Schweddy Balls and my stomach is still full."
 
2011-10-21 02:40:57 PM
I swear to god people with money are humorless blobs. That said, I've always preferred Choco Tacos to Schweddy Balls.

If they made Mint Tacos or ginger tacos, those would be even better.

The label says "Vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum," so that's what I go by.

Well, it was hard to resist the name and the connotations. After all, it wouldn't be the holidays without my Schweddy Balls.

They're too busy thinking about raping the children.

I had some, it was ok, but I'll stick with Americone Dream.

The safeway in the u-district has it. I haven't been around further afield since it came out, though

People in Mississippi must have solved all their other problems.
 
2011-10-21 04:32:48 PM
I live in Memphis they carry it here, and it's farking delicious.


Go to hell HPV spreading conservative coonts.

Especially a flavor that's not even being MARKETED to kids.

Caramel Toes tell Schweddy Balls to Fudge Ooff.

Ah, shiat:

Sandy Caramel Toes tell Schweddy Balls to Fudge Off.
 
2011-10-21 05:30:31 PM
Yeah I'm not happy about it at all. Kroger doesn't carry it.

Seriously, Mothers have tasted balls before or they wouldn't be mothers at all.
 
2011-10-21 05:38:59 PM
Here's a neat idea: If you don't like the ice cream, don't buy it! It's not terribly difficult, is it?

Humorless prigs.

There is only one flavor of Ben and Jerry's. New York Super Chunk Fudge. These other words you use, I've seen them before but together they make no sense to me.

supporters and members of the One Million Moms group

OMFG shut up already! Stop it you're killing me!! Look, I never found that sketch funny, and I think the name is gross so I'm not buying the ice cream. Try that!!!1!

But it was Schweddy Balls that raised the ire of the conservative One Million Moms group.

Tupelo, Miss.-based organization

Yep, The rhinestone at the very center of the buckle on the Bible belt. Fark them.
 
2011-10-21 08:14:25 PM
Not seeing it in any of the local grocery stores. I probably should try bothering the customer service desks to ask why they don't have Schweddy Balls in the freezer; it's likely to give some a laugh, and piss off any fundies.
