In the grand tradition of Cherry Garcia and Phish Food, the Barenaked Ladies were honored this morning with their own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavo(ur), becoming the first Canadian band to achieve that status. Titled “If I Had 1,000,000 Flavours,” the creamy delight is a mix of vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter, almonds and chocolate chunks, and it would be super awesome if this was 1995, and/or Steven Page was still in the band. (Congrats on getting those drug charges dismissed, btw!)
But so we got to thinking: We’re all for B&J’s support of the music industry, but is there perhaps a more current act or artist deserving of being memorialized in dessert? A quick scan of the staff churned up the following:
Death Cab for Tofutti
Red Hot Chili Pepper (cinnamon-based?)
U2-T-FRUIT-T
Butter Pekanye West
Bruce Sprinklesteen (though that does not sound good)
Black Eyed Peach
Wilco (the ice cream)
Eminem
Your turn…
