Ice Creamocracy

Ben and Jerry's has officially released their latest pun flavored promotion! Do The World A Flavor and come up with a new flavor of ice cream to add to their cold & creamy collection! Props to the cute Flash animation!





I created "Birthday Everyday" because I used every single cake or brownie related thing that they had. I mean you eat cake and ice cream every year anyways so why not just combine them? Yea I know Baskin Robbins has been doing it forever but this is in pint form. Just take off the top and stick in a few candles. Done!

I've had an unsatisfied craving for some B&J's since Nick's ice cream comedy on Monday...

Rise and Shine

Happy Easter, everyone!



This year's was unprecedented as I celebrated it with more Jewish people than Christian people. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Boca Raton to hang with Beth and assorted friends and family. The weekend also involved line dancing, my favorite drool-prone cat and being ON A BOAT (minus Andy Samberg and T-Pain).

Oh yea, and although they are usually my favorite Easter time treat, I DO NOT recommend the ones made with Splenda. Ick!



OK now back to attempting to write and memorize six minutes of funniness among other things for class tomorrow night. It's gonna take another miracle for me to pull this off...

Good Taste in Advertising

Being in advertising is probably going to send me to Hell, the first (and probably not the last) reason of which is it made me break my Lenten discipline that I just mentioned in my post yesterday. But this idea was worth it. And the chocolate was really small. LoL.

This chick Danielle Saltrese thought it would be a cool idea to make really weird flavors of chocolate, send them to major agencies in mystery boxes, and see how many people correctly guessed the flavors. Even though I'm still just an intern, I got to play!




Look! It matches my outfit!






No idea what my flavor was. It kind of tasted like flowers.




I was wrong. It was the taste of basil. And failure.



You can see the live results at Agency Taste. It will be more interesting once (or if) the other agencies participate.

Sweetness

So I discovered these at Whole Foods recently because I had to satisfy my sweet tooth despite the face that I gave up chocolate for Lent. Let me introduce you to QB's, the All natural crispy treat filled with ice cream." Although upon sampling, I wouldn't use the adjective "crispy." The texture is more chewy, then creamy, or melty, depending on how long it takes you to eat it.

So why are these frozen snacks named after an abbreviated position in football? What is the purpose of these snacks, as it would appear in the dictionary? What do these treats like to do in their spare time? I'm glad you asked. Just refer to the amazingly awesome back of the box.



QB n. (cube-EE): An all natural cube shaped ice cream treat that satisfies the taste buds and makes you smile.

Well there you go. I just can't get over the copy.

So they come in three flavors, Dave, Suzy Cube and Esquivel. What the eff kind of name is Esquivel?! It almost as bad a Gerbie! (Only a few people will understand that reference). And why is he removing his crispy garment?

I guess in addition to lewd and lascivious acts of exhibitionism, Esquivel enjoys extreme activities and high action sports. But chillin' is a definite must. That's not contradictory. And what the eff kind of sports would a crispy covered block of ice cream participate in? I guess they would have to be winter sports. Maybe he uses those popsicle sticks with those really bad jokes on them as snowboards.

And for some reason, my treats are trying to escape out of the right side of the box! Or maybe they're just being exposed to intrigue people. Again with the exhibitionism! Come to think of it, I think I saw Paul Reubens endorsing them in a commercial recently.



I think the contemplative king in the top left corner sums it all up: QB's or not QB's? There is no question.
