Ice Cream Genius

HERE'S A PREVIEW OF THE ICE CREAM THAT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR CHUBBINESS IN 2007 AND BEYOND:


Ben & Jerry's is wrapping up a contest to decide on a new ice cream flavor. . . and, since it'll be going straight to your delicious thighs soon enough. . . we figured you should get a preview.


--On October 4th and 5th, the Ben & Jerry's higher-ups will taste-test these five ice cream flavors. . . and decide which one they'll mass produce. . . to produce some mass. (--HI-YO!!!)


#1.) MOJITO. Lime-based sherbet with mint, brown sugar and rum.


#2.) PUTTIN' ON A RITZ. Vanilla ice cream, caramel and Ritz crackers.


#3.) ITALIAN RENAISSANCE. Amaretto Liqueur ice cream, cherry chunks and sliced almonds.


#4.) WACKIE CHAN. Sweet Cream and Ginger ice creams, with chocolate-covered fortune cookie bits and a fudge swirl.


#5.) APRICOT-ABRA. Vanilla ice cream mixed with apricot chunks, dark chocolate and tart apricot preserves. (--This is my personal choice. I think I would trade the ability to see my toes for this flavor.)
