We already have a flavor named after you — it’s called vanilla (Mayor McCheese voted twice in Arizona)

July 2021

“This week, Ben & Jerry’s said it would stop selling ice cream in the Israeli-occupied territories, siding with the B.D.S. movement that’s pressuring Israel on behalf of Palestinians.  This upset Republicans like Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma, who called on his home state to block sales of the brand. Cool, they’re fighting with ice cream now,” Meyers said. “What’s next, going to accuse Mayor McCheese of voting twice in Arizona?” —Jimmy Fallon

“I’m a little upset. Why don’t I have his own Ben & Jerry’s flavor? Jimmy Fallon has (The Tonight Dough) and Stephen Colbert has (Stephen Colbert’s AmeriCone Dream.) But you can’t just ban Ben & Jerry’s because you don’t like their opinions. I mean, I still eat it, even though I’m annoyed they haven’t given us our own flavor yet. It would be called ‘A Closer Lick,’ and we’ve already mocked up what the container would look like. I sent it to them, and I’ve called their offices and left dozens of messages, and all that happened was one of their interns called me and said, ‘We already have a flavor named after you — it’s called vanilla.’” —Seth Meyers
