Remember last month, when super-scary right-wing advocacy group One Million Moms campaigned to get "vulgar, repulsive" Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls ice cream off the shelves of stores across the country? Well, holy baby Jesus! It might have actually worked! more ›

Dear lord: it's come to this? One Million moms, an offshoot of the batsh*t crazy right wing "Christian morals" advocacy group American Family Association, is boycotting Ben & Jerry's limited-edition Schweddy Balls ice cream. more ›

Last week, Ben & Jerry's officially debuted their limited-edition Schweddy Balls ice cream, which honors Alec Baldwin's iconic SNL skit. Needless to say, we were psyched, having anticipated the announcement since way back in June. So when the ice cream mavericks offered to send some Balls our way, we simply couldn't turn them down. more ›

Earlier this summer, we fired up the rumor mill by hinting, hoping, and praying that Ben & Jerry's was developing a special-edition "Schweddy Balls"-flavored ice cream. Today, the world's prayers have been answered: it's happening! more ›

Today we catch wind of a strange and hilarious potential development from the Ben & Jerry's camp, who may or may not be developing a new "Schweddy Balls"-themed flavor in honor of the enduring SNL skit starring Ana Gasteyer, Molly Shannon, and Alec Baldwin in a career-defining role as Pete "Schweddy Balls" Schweddy. more ›

It's that special time of year again, where you can wait in absurdly long lines in an effort to save a few bucks. Ben & Jerry's will be hosting another Free Cone Day tomorrow, and you can get your free frozen treat from noon to 8 p.m. We called the Rockefeller Center shop today and they told us the cone you'd be getting is normally "$3.25 plus tax," but other locations "may be cheaper." If you hit up several shops throughout the day, you can double... triple... quadruple these savings! more ›

This week in Eat Cetera: Trucks bring Ben & Jerry's ice cream and Holton Farms produce around the city, and UES mainstay Gino's gets replaced by a much needed cupcake shop. more ›

The law requiring chains to display calorie info doesn't seem very effective at ice cream parlors. The muckrackers at, um, Good Housekeeping just finished a sting operation on five ice cream shops in NYC, buying 50 scoops from Cold Stone Creamery, Haagen-Dazs, Baskin-Robbins, Carvel and Ben & Jerry's. What they found may shock you. more ›

If an hour of your time is worth less than the cost of an ice cream cone, today's your day to shine! Ben & Jerry's is holding their annual birthday celebration and giving out free single scoop ice cream cones to all Americans. Any flavor! The handouts last from noon to 8 p.m., and you can find your nearest location here. However, if you're serious about this, it's worth calling ahead because not all shops participate every year; in 2006 the miserly Ben & Jerry's at 154 Bleecker Street (now closed?) backed out of the tradition "due to construction." more ›
