Imaginary Flavors

The Hubby Hubby post (and comments) got me thinking about Ben & Jerry's flavors, both real and imaginary. Then I remembered this fake flavor from the Obama campaign, Yes, Pecan!. Sadly, it never actually existed, but someone at Slate magazine came up with this impressively realistic Photoshopped image of the flavor.

Slate had held a contest to come up with Barack Obama-themed flavors:

Plenty of you responded with riffs on Obama's name. Peanut Butter Barackle, Obamana Split, and Barackadamia Nut all raised a chuckle. But it was Aaron Nathan of Amherst, Mass., who really impressed. Eschewing Obama's name, he reached another level of ingenuity when he sent in his entry: "Yes, Pecan!"
