I was actually alerted to this by CNN. Newsworthy item of the day, there's a new ice cream flavour, Schweddy Balls. Now, to be honest, there's that side of me that loves dark humour and also loves things that pay homage to stuff, so I did laugh. It was great on the news clip where it had this nice grandmotherly sort screw up her face at the name, but she still liked the flavour.
I grant, the name ain't for everyone, but I still thought it was worth a laugh.
I am supposed to put WHAT in my mouth?

Huh. I never thought of that one as being weird, just because I'd heard it enough that it registered as 'normal'.
YAY! I didn't find something crass for once. Sometimes I worry that I'm a crappy influence when my daughter starts snickering away at something with a double innuendo that passes her more innocent friends by.

Schweddy's Balls is based on a clasic mid 90s sketch for the holidays on SNL featuring the irresistibly funny Alec Baldwin as Pete Shweddy. He is sampling his famous balls on a holiday edition of a treats show on a fictional NPR station which is hosted by the costar of 30 Rock, Tina Fey and the slightly less funny other female comedian whose name escapes me as well.
The whole joke being of course that they're on the radio talking about how delectable and sweet Shweddy's balls are. It implies a lot when he groans and says thank you LOL. THEY DID A RECENT EDITION TO IT LAST CHRISTMAS! They had Betty White discussing her lovely muffin tops.

Yup yup, which is why I put that I liked the homage of it. I can't say that I'd pay homage to any other instance of Schweddy Balls.
I forget that not everyone here was born before 1980 and therefore may not get that part. LOL
