Does anyone know when Ben & Jerry & Jerry will be releasing their Festivus ice cream, I'm looking forward to paying the rip-off price for the small pint.

I bought a pint about two weeks ago here in the Philadelphia suburbs. Haven't tried it yet (not sure I will....it may become a collector's item, kinda like Billy Beer).

BTW, the flavor is described on the container as "Brown Sugar Cinnamon Ice Cream Loaded with Gingerbread Cookies and a Ginger Caramel Swirl." On the lid, there are a few signs: "Let's put the fun into dysfunction!", "Festivus (a holiday for the rest of us)" and "as seen on Seinfeld." Here's the text from the side of the carton: "First coined on the TV comedy, Seinfeld, the term 'Festivus' repackages the holiday for 'the rest of us,' giving license to celebrate the silly side of the season's traditions. We've captured the essence of Festivus by loading this sassy batch of brown sugar ice cream with enough gingerbread & Cinnamony spice to rekindle just about anyone's sense of irreverence. Fruitcake anyone? Happy Festivus from all of us at Ben & Jerry's."

Sassy batch?

Oh, like Elaine? I love her, even though she's a sassy batch. :-)
