Intercom: "Clean Up "Schweddy Balls" in Aisle 5; Also, Price Check On Those 'Balls' Please...."

I agree - kids know lots more than they should and I figure that even if one does not agree with these kinds of gimmicks, there's no reason for all to panic and draw more attention to it; let it be humor as such and stop making a big deal over an ice cream title that will be forgotten soon anyway. Now excuse me while I light my Hazelnut cookie "Smell My Nuts" candle!

What the hell??? Do I see spam lurking??

yeah, I flagged those. Hey, I reviewed a horror movie recently....

I flagged it also. Don't keep me in suspense--which horror movie????

PS - I'm too tired to look for myself LOL

it is a zombie movie from Germany...link is here. You are so spoiled! LOL! I cannot believe that a review like this is getting more attention than the ones I've actually thought hard to write LOL!

You obviously have the natural ability to get attention without even realizing it -- you're so talented my man!! LOL

why thank you, but I think the 'schweddy balls' in the review title had something to do with it LOL!!

Not necessarily---I've seen good titles with bad reviews LOL -

Yeah, but when you were 9, kids weren't as out of control as they are today. Parents are fighting uphill battles when it comes to disciplining their kids. And I can imagine how annoying it could be to a moms ears, "Mom can I have some Schweddy Balls?" Kids are picking up enough negativity from the TV and others outside of the house. Now they're getting more from something as innocent as ice cream? Doesn't make sense at all.

you know I never thought of it that way, you do have a point. One thing I do have to add, parents are more restrained in the disciplining of their own kids these days than when I was growing up in Asia. I still think that actually go over the line in organizing and trying to boycott stores who sell this is still a little too much. If they didn't get my attention through those petitions then I would've left this alone and never bought a few pints. I mean it was a way for me to say: I buy what I want as long as I am not harming anyone.

Parents have way too much against them. All a child has to do is tell a distorted story on why they got their asses whipped by their parents, and child welfare is knocking on the door. Raising kids has clearly gotten harder. And you think parents taking measures like that is too much? These grown men naming ice cream after sweaty dicks are even worse. If you have 40 year old men behaving like 12 year olds, then you can't fault a 12 year old for behaving like a 12 year old then. This right here gives the exact same negative message as those reality stars we enjoy ripping apart.

Well, I've never had a kid, but one thing's for sure, I am old-school. If ever I had a child, I will discipline him/her the way I was disciplined. With Reasoning and honesty, and sometimes I did get spanked (once actually when I did something really bad). I also got sent to a dojo so I can learn discipline. A co-worker once sent his kid back to live with his mother (his ex-girlfriend) in Asia when he saw that his kid was becoming a bad seed here. Sort of a 'culture shock'.

Then there are these shows on TV....

I'm like my father. I don't believe in hitting kids. He never hit me so I would never do the same. My mother on the other hand use to bust that ass open. I found out that kids listen a lot better when you use reasoning instead of belts.

with me, I found that having given responsibility and taking responsibility does help. Seems like our folks are similar too.

Dang, a review about ice cream and we ended up having a good discussion about parenting.

Penguin - I have to agree with you on this: "Parents have way too much against them. All a child has to do is tell a distorted story on why they got their asses whipped by their parents, and child welfare is knocking on the door" As a parent myself, I have already raised 2 sons to adulthood and they're both mature, responsible, and I'm proud to be their mom and yes, most of the time reasoning with them was enough, but there were times when they were little that I cracked their asses (with my hand, no belt) (not beat, not hit, just a slam on the ass) when they needed it, and they grew up without being traumatized. You're right about it being hard on the parents. There's a huge difference between beating & abuse and just a smack when they need it, but it's getting more difficult to discipline. I am now raising a 12 year daughter and it's been ages since I've smacked her behind, but I can now reason with her and discipline her and I'm sick to death of others trying to tell parents HOW to discipline but I refuse to raise a brat. Now, back to the ice cream LOL maybe they shouldn't have named it such a "dirty" title, but I've experienced that if one doesn't make that big of a deal about it with their kids, it is soon forgotten (like the "forbidden fruit" syndrome). Unfortunately kids today do have it rough with all that's out there in the world, and after reading your comments I have to agree with you that the name of the ice cream is a bit over-the-top where kids are concerned. You and Will brought out some good points.

Might have been a bit too overt. LOL!
