if the lady wanted the damn ice cream so bad, all she had to do is ask for somebody to go back to the frozen walk-in and grab her one. i'm sure they would accomodate. instead she decided to write a silly letter about how outraged she is.

If you read it even semi-closely, 'Valarie' contradicts her own values twice.

With all that the world is exposed to these days, one would think that a name of an ice cream flavor would be low on the radar of the "decency police". If Kroger was that concerned about decency, they would not sell the "Cosmopolitan" or any magazine with adult words or phrases. I am surprised that no one has complained about some of these magazines and books that have come out or the fact that Kroger sells condoms (in a clear case, OMG!). But yet a mildly suggestive phrase on an ice cream container is too much...

The stupid thing is only people who are familiar with SNL will get the joke.  Next thing you know someone will complain because they're selling muffins.

the article said they couldn't sell it at all. Even if it was in the back they couldn't get it for her. i think censorship is stupid regardless what it is though. i'm a dirty liberal

I'm not much of an SNL fan. But Kroger needs to get their heads out of their asses. If they're going to remove an item that the name is, according to them, indecent, then they had better go check and remove every item in every store that falls under that catagory. And then they can watch the customers leave the stores permanently.

The bad thing is they're letting one person dictate what they should do.  Whatever happened to majority rules?

They remove "Schweddy Balls" from their ice cream section, yet they keep selling "Sweet Baby Wholes" with the rest of their pickles. THOSE BASTARDS.
