Truthiness, In a Delicious Frozen Form

Apparently, Vermont ice cream mega-maker Ben and Jerry's is rumored to have a new flavor, one with Stephen Colbert's face on the pint. According to the Colbert unofficial fan site NoFactZone.net, who obtained the info from an unidentified Whole Foods employee, "Americone Dream" Ice Cream will be a mix of vanilla ice cream with fudge covered waffle cone pieces and caramel swirls. No official word yet has come from Ben & Jerry's , but the fan site did post a letter from company a spokesperson named Sean Greenwood which made light of the possibility.

"Sure it COULD be a Patriotic mix of strawberry, blueberry and (American not French) vanilla flavors, striped in the pint with chocolate stars," Greenwood wrote. "Or perhaps Republican Nut, with each pint lovingly sampled by Dick Cheney to insure product quality."

Colbert discussed the possibly unparalleled patriotic dessert in this clip.
