Hey Em:

If you’re still reading this thread – I’m DYING to ask you a couple of questions, completely off the record. Could you e-mail me at nofactzone (at @) gmail.com?

Oh man, seriously?! Who’s in Boston – Unilever Corporate?

All I know is that this story has been picked up by EVERYBODY! They’re even talking about it on Best Week Ever on VH1. (Look at the Sitemeter to see the plethora of places that have picked up the story). And it all started with your “leak”, Em. If they were trying to keep a lid on it, um, well, that’s kind of a moot point now.

Neither did I! I’m hoping that if The Man does come a’ knockin’ He will understand that this was an act of exuberant geekiness and not corporate espionage. But if not I will plead that it was a homegrown attempt at viral marketing on behalf of my company. Because that excuse went down so well in Boston last week.

Oooh, peach cobbler! Sounds tasty!

Well, apparently the world is more than eager to eat this story up with a spoon (this story is way too easy to pun). I appreciate all that you’ve done for the blog, and hope we didn’t get you in any trouble with your superiors. I didn’t expect God and everyone to pick this bad boy up.

Uh-oh, looks like Ben & Jerry’s was not at all prepared to have info about their latest “star” flavor unleashed upon the world. I will play along with their disingenuousness and refrain from further comment. Though I do have to let you know that they are also releasing “Willie Nelson’s Country Peach Cobbler” at the same time as Americone. Hee! Looking forward to seeing those two staring at each other inside the Frozen case.

And now, the world has moved on, and so shall I … until April!

Classic wink-wink, nudge-nudge. English Translation: “We can’t talk about it officially right now, but expect to see this hit the shelves in mid-April.”

The best thing about Americone Dream is that you can eat all you want. It’s guaranteed “Fact Free” ice cream.

For now – if I were you, I would focus my attention – and direct your devoted readers – to a much more serious subject and threat to all humankind: bears.

“However, I think we may be a bit premature. We should have new flavor information available my mid April. Can we touch base then?”
