"That's What I Call 360 Degrees... Of Flavour."

The title for this post is a quote from Anderson Cooper 360 himself. No, he wasn't talking about some new high-class American restaurant, nor a delicious Iraqi food he may have come across during his coverage of the war. Instead, Mr. 360 was reporting about a new ice cream flavour produced by Ben & Jerry's.

That's right. Ben & Jerry's "Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream". The ice cream was not what speculators had originally expected, namely "a patriotic mix of strawberry, blueberry, and vanilla flavours". Instead, purchasers of fine (and moderately over-priced) ice cream will experience the goodness that is "vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel".

With proceeds going to charity, who could pass up a scoop or two of what will likely become a modern day Americana legend?

Here's the official press release, for those of you who just must know more.
