Stephen Colbert takes on Willie Nelson tonight
Two weeks ago, Ben & Jerry’s released the new flavor Stephen Colbert’s AmeriCone Dream, advertised as “the sweet taste of liberty in your mouth.” Naturally, the satirical pundit was very proud of his new flavor and tipped his cap to the Vermont ice cream company. But the Colbert heart, or gut, as it were, is fickle. Ben & Jerry have recently drawn the scorn of Colbert with their release of the new flavor Willie Nelson’s Country Peach Cobbler, which swirls peach ice cream with cinnamon sugar shortbread pieces.
The übermoralist Colbert responded to the news with predictable outrage. “What is it made out of? Shredded tax forms and hash?”
According to FirstCoastNews.com, 250,000 pints of Willie’s flavor are being recalled “because containers packed on January 23-24 and February 8-9 failed to list wheat as an ingredient, making it dangerous for those with a wheat allergy.”
Colbert and the Red Headed Stranger will go toe-to-toe on The Colbert Report tonight at 10:30 p.m. on Comedy Central. Should be entertaining.
