PrintCandidate Ice Cream Flavors
It's not real, folks. Just a nutty mock-up from Slate.
Last we told you, ice cream hippie overlords Ben & Jerry were endorsing Barack Obama and had created an actual flavor in his honor called "Cherries for Change."
Online magazine Slate was apparently not impressed with that name so it held a an Obama ice cream naming contest. So far Slate has endorsed Yes, Pecan as its front runner.
Not bad, but maybe Serious Eats can collaborate and one-up Slate? What would Hillary Clinton's ice cream be? What about John McCain's?

For McCain
Hanoi Heaven- The ice cream should be somewhat like pad thai (I know its the wrong country) With a peanut vanilla base, studded with broken glass for a taste so good that it hurts!
For Hillary
Chubby Hubby, or Philandering Phish Food
She doesn't deserve her own flavor, but I am sure that all Bill's antics will cause her to eat a truckload of either flavor.

John McCandyCane -- now with a moderate amount of candy cane pieces!
But, unfortunately, there won't be enough candy cane pieces for people who really like candy cane pieces but too many candy cane pieces for everyone else.
Hiliary Clintoffee -- People who hate the flavor think that it's waaaaay too sweet. Other people like the flavor but think that it's not as sweet as they were told it would be.

John McandyCaine - candy cane ice cream - tastes alright but the fundies hate it.

McCain - Straight Talk Express-o (espresso ice cream with chocolate chunks in the shape of little campaign buses)
Clinton - It Tastes A Village (coconut with red and blue m&ms)

How about White McCain-adamia Nuts? Vanilla ice cream with white chocolate chunks and white macadamia nuts.
Now, if I could only figure out how to work "Aged" into the recipe...?

ag3206 is SO funny. for the first time ever, I find myself wishing Huckabee were still running. That is so perfect "Vanilla Huckabean"!
Sfcrotty - those are very nice.
The New York official state tree is the Sugar Maple. State fruit the apple (NY state apples are excellent, I know and I live in a big apple-growing state) There must be a apple/maple ice cream in there for Hillary.
