Straight Talk Crunch

Baskin Robbins has released its latest ice cream - the "Straight Talk Crunch."

Quote: The new flavor features vanilla ice cream, caramel, almonds and white chocolate chips (dyed red, of course) ... The reviews were overwhelmingly positive. Almost everyone in the press section took a break from worrying about the Veepstakes to try the new flavor, and a random sampling of agents and reporters gave it a thumbs up.

No word on the Democratic flavor yet, but I have a feeling "change" will be in the title somewhere.
