"candidate" news and stories

There's a plethora of presidential candidate products out there, from aprons to hot sauce. Some people have even created food inspired by a candidate, as Alanna Kauffman posted about last week.

This Barak Obama-inspired ice cream would be a great addition to the category, if it were real. The folks over at Slate.com asked readers to come up with a new Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor for Obama since the ice cream makers home state delivered for the candidate.

Yes, Pecan! was the cleverest. I got the biggest kick out of it as soon as I saw this post. Though I am not endorsing any presidential nominee, I thought a number of you might also get a laugh out of this.

Also, I'd like to reiterate that this product is not real, not for sale, does not really exist. It only exists as a photoshopped image created by Slate. But do you think Ben & Jerry's might take a hint? They could do a whole line of candidate ice creams!
