Star Spangled Ice Cream was an American ice cream company. They marketed their ice cream as a politically conservative alternative to Ben & Jerry's which the founders felt to be too liberal. [1] [2] Similarly to Ben & Jerry's, the names of the ice cream were puns, usually plays on conservative phrases and ideas, such as " Smaller Governmint", " I Hate the French Vanilla," " Navy Battle Chip," " Bill Clinton Im-peach" and " Choc & Awe". [3] The company donated 10% of its profits to organizations that it felt supported the United States Armed Forces. [4]
Reception
The Star Spangled Ice Cream company received both criticism and praise through email, both of which were posted on their now-defunct website. [5] Ted Nugent had said that he was a fan of the "Gun Nut" flavor. [6]
