To celebrate the passage of legislation that legalizing gay marriage in its home state of Vermont, Ben & Jerry's is renaming its "Chubby Hubby" ice cream "Hubby Hubby." Now, product name changing is not a new revelation for this brand. When I lived in Boston, I recall a wonderfully delightful "Primary Berry" that was made for the DNC. It's now called "Strawberry Cheesecake". There was also "yes-PE-can" (which is of course Obama's version of Butter Pecan-who knew ice cream could take such a liberal political stance?). What I want to do is really challenge this brand. Changing the name of your product, just a little only to change it back a few months later, is easy. What they never do...is change the product!
If they really wanted to support gay marriage they should've made another flavor to accompany the new name. While "Chubby Hubby" consists of pretzel nuggets covered in fudge and filled with peanut butter-all in a vanilla malt ice cream base, which is itself swirled with fudge and peanut butter. "Hubby Hubby" should taste like chilled penis.
Yeah...I went there. Sorry.
