Schweddy Balls Las Vegas

Those living in Las Vegas will be hard pressed to find their favorite Ben & Jerry’s flavor ice cream, Schweddy Balls.

Named after the Alec Baldwin character, Pete Schweddy, on a classic "SNL" sketch, a number of Vegas-based grocery stores have refused to carry the ice cream flavor, claiming it might be offensive to some customers. 

"While we do carry many of Ben & Jerry's varieties, that one we decided to keep out of our mix," Smith's spokeswoman Marsha Gifford said. "It has been a decision for Kroger stores across the country. The company felt that from our customers' perspective, it may be offensive."

Whole Foods is another grocery store chain that has not stocked up on Schweddy Balls.  They, however, claim it is more with “stocking issues”.

Schweddy Balls is a delicious mixture of rum-flavored vanilla ice cream with fudge covered rum balls and milk chocolate malt balls.
