Former SNL star and current Late Night host Jimmy Fallon received one of the biggest honors by having a Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream flavor named after him.
Jimmy and Ben & Jerry's teamed up to launch their newest flavor "Late Night Snack". The ice cream was inspired by Jimmy and his house band, 'The Roots', sketch entitled "Lady Smith Snack Mamazo" in which the group sings about their love for B&J ice cream.
The new "Late Night Snack" ice cream flavor is the {strange} combination of salty and sweet which includes Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, salty caramel swirl and fudge covered potato chip clusters.
I don't know that I'll run out to the store and buy this new flavor but it sure is cool that Jimmy Fallon has his own. Jimmy still can't believe that has his own flavor, he told OK! Magazine:
“I was talking to my wife and she was like did you ever dream you would have your own flavor ice cream? I was like ‘Never!’”
NBC and Jimmy Fallon have pledged to share their proceeds to the Fair Trade Universities to encourage the use of Fair Trade products on campus and around the county. The new flavor will hit Ben & Jerry's stores and supermarkets around the US starting this week!
