Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Click the image above to view the 'Yes Pecan' gallery.
Leading up to the Presidential election in November, one of the most familiar slogans of Barack Obama's campaign was the powerfully succinct phrase, "Yes, We Can." It served as a rallying point for his supporters and now gourmet ice cream producer Ben & Jerry's is adopting the message to honor the new President by renaming their butter pecan flavor, "Yes Pecan" for the month of January.
Ben & Jerry's has partnered with the voting advocacy organization, Common Cause, for this temporary renaming and all proceeds from the sale of "Yes Pecan" will go to fund their efforts.
So get yourself to a scoop shop and get a cone of "Yes Pecan" before the month is out!

1-09-2009 @7:42PM Randy said... So now instead of saying "They drank the Kool-Aid", we'll say "They ate the ice-cream"?
Is there no end to this silliness?

@ Laura's Barack-y road, though, that works!

But, you and your company have shown that they are 'leaning left' by your actions. Perhaps you will now start to learn your lesson, when you are driving in a storm, you keep to the center of the road. Today's political and financial situation is like being in a storm and what you are seeing now is just the prelude. Wait until the serious winds blow, and then, hold on. But, as with all things bad, given time, they to will pass.

Furthermore, you can whine & moan until you're blue, red, pink, or orange in the face, President Obama has been elected, he IS the President, and all you can do is continue to whine!! Get over yourselves, grow the f#@& up, and take a class on how to deal with people other your own racists asses!!!!!!!!!!

America and the world finally has hope again.
God Bless OUR new President!

I will wait till the name of my favorite Ice Cream changes back to what it really is, so my purchasing it will not contribute to the Downfall of life as we know it. Come to think of it, there are other brands of Butter Pecan Ice Cream. I hate it when people that I like try to use their celebrity status to promote political ideas and candidates.

I guess that is easy to do when you are anonymous. God bless these people who do that because they sure need it.
