Ice cream-flavored stamps

Haagen-Dazs in Austria has collaborated with the Austrian Postal Service to launch ice cream flavored stamps. This is the best limited-edition stamp I think I have ever heard of. Granted, the USPS stamps are nice, particularly the Breast Cancer and variously collectible ones, but how can you argue with a stamp that tastes like something other than glue?

Instead of just looking cool on their envelopes, the stamps enable mailers get to sample flavors like Cookies & Cream, Macadamia Nut Brittle and Strawberry Cheesecake, and as a benefit to the company for participating, the Haagen-Dazs logo is seen on thousands of pieces of mail a day. The stamps are being distributed as part of a frequent buyer program, however, so even though the stamps are calorie-free, the 10 scoops of ice cream that must be purchased to get the stamps are not.

the triteness of the models (ice cream! Hello!) and the mixing up of advertising and stamps is all a bit dissappointing.
