Americone Dream

Yes people, it is here. In fact, I wish I could make the image bigger than it already is so that it fills your whole screen. But even then it wouldn’t be big enough to represent the man that is the greatest living American, Stephen Colbert. How do I know he’s the greatest living American? Just search for “greatest living american” on google and it’ll tell you.

But this posting is not so much about Stephen Colbert, as it is about my new ice-cream friend, Ben & Jerry’s Americone Dream featuring the greatest living American, Stephen Colbert (see picture above). Being a resident of the liberal hotbed of Utah, I was not able to find any store that carried this most patriotic of frozen desserts. It’s creamy vanilla goodness, amber waves of caramel, and chocolate-dipped waffle cone pieces (I call them “freedom fragments”) are a testament to the wonderful American tradition of unabashed desserting (do NOT confuse this with deserting- these flavors neither cut nor run) and bring a sweet kiss of delight to the epicenter of truthiness, your gut.

Since Utah, or at least those liberal beatniks at Wild Oats that want the terrorists to win, deigned themselves above carrying these frozen pints of righteousness, I did my part in the fight for freedom and special ordered some. I picked it up this morning, and had it for breakfast. And I will say, that from now on I will have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, for I feel there is no other way to be a proud American than to feed myself on Stephen Colbert. Well, there’s that, and also the fact that due to a miscommunication when ordering, I got a 1/2 case of the stuff instead of one pint. Of course, since it is not part of their regular stock, they can’t sell it, so I now I have 8 pints in my freezer, so yes, I will be eating it for every meal for some time to come.

But, my friends, I welcome you one and all to come break ice-cream with me! Come to the house of Chad and partake of the Americone Dream! I have 7 pints to go through so don’t wait…it’ll go fast! (8th pint being saved to celebrate the Rapture).
