Ben and Jerry's and the fight for KP

[jim]

Thinking today, I had a new idea. Ben and Jerry started their ice cream business with intent to support some of their activism. Maybe we can convince them to branch out thier activism to help us keep Kim Possible on the air. That could be done with Ben and Jerry's Kim Possible-based ice cream flavors. The first to come to my mind was Ron Stoppable's Bueno Nacho Sopapilla-vanilla ice cream swirled with everything that makes a sopapilla great: stawberry syrup, whipped cream, and crunchy cinnamon coated fried flour tortilla chips! Once that becomes successful, new KP based flavors could be added like Shego and Drakken's Sorbet-lime (green) sorbet swirled with blueberry (blue) sorbet. Should Ben and Jerry act on this monumental idea and millions flock to Ben and Jerry's just to try Kim Possible based ice cream flavors, truly Disney will see the success and perhaps be convinced to keep Kim Possible on the air! ;D ;D

Well, it's good to be optimistic I suppose ;D I am not sure what the promotion is about but it is an idea. I don't know if they will make Tex-Mex orientated ice cream though. Flavours could be anything as long as KP are on them. Is this in America alone if you know?

"millions flock"? it really sounds like a mediocre investment, sorry to say.

Fried ice cream is tex-mex. Sopapillas are a great Mexican dessert that would make a wonderful ice cream flavor!

Maybe its because I am from the UK, but I've never heard of that! Doesn't sound very nice What's it like?

Thanks for asking. A sopapilla is a flour tortilla fried to a crunchy crisp coated with cinnamon and sugar then topped off with strawberry topping and a dollop of whipped cream. It's very deliciuos! It's similar to cinnamon toast.

uh.... not to burst your bubble... but it won't happen. ALL kp related themes are OWNED by disney... do you really think they'd license it to a bunch of fans trying to resurrect a show they killed?

besides, Disney already ties in with Nestle, if you have an Aldies/Russ Market/Kroegers in your area, check the freezer section, you'll probably find some Disney themes stuff, maybe even the orange Kim Possible cremesicle push pops. B&J's is owned by Unilever.

Good point, eoraptor. I applaud your business sense! I do admit it's unlikely to happen but it's a fun idea anyway. I even thought of a new flavor. The ones I thought of already are based on Shego/Drakken and Ron Stoppable. This one is based on Kim. It is strawberry fudge sitch-strawberry ice cream swirrled with rich fudge!

Yeah they're pretty tasty when my mom makes 'em, but I'm quite fond of Churros myself.

It doesn't hurt to pitch the idea to the company that owns Ben and Jerry, if there would be enough demand they could get a licence from Disney to make the flavors as I'm sure Disney's not against making more money here.
