"Star Spangled Ice Cream, the ice cream with a conservative flavor, is proud that Ted Nugent had endorsed our newest politically incorrect flavor, Gun Nut," said company Vice President Richard Lessner. "Ted Nugent is a great defender of the people's right to bear arms. We believe Gun Nut is a perfect compliment to the wild game recipes in Ted's best-selling cookbook, Kill It and Grill It."

Star Spangled has partnered with Nugent and Gun Owners of America in the promotion of Gun Nut. The company is donating $1 from the sale of each quart of Gun Nut to the educational work of the Gun Owners Foundation Gun Safety Project. Nugent, who heads United Sportsmen of America, works closely with GOA.

"Gun Owners of America and Ted Nugent's United Sportsmen of America are staunch defenders of the Second Amendment and we're proud to support their patriotic work," Lessner said. Star Spangled Ice Cream, founded in March 2003, sells premium ice cream on its web site www.StarSpangledIceCream.com. It has been featured in Reader's Digest, The New York Times, Weekly Standard, and on CNN and Fox News.

Among the celebrity non-endorsers of Gun Nut are Barbra Streisand, Rosie O'Donnell, Alec Baldwin, Al Franken, Al Gore, Michael Moore, and the Dixie Chicks.

Gun Nut joins Star Spangled Ice Cream's four original classic flavors: I Hate the French Vanilla, Nutty Environmentalist, Iraqi Road, and Smaller Govern-mint. Star Spangled donates ten percent of the profits from the sale of its classic favors to charities supporting America's Armed Forces.

Nutty Environmentalist,

How can you have a nut flavor if all the nuts have been excluded?

Drat.

The link isn't working, at present. I wasn't aware of this ice cream company. Can anybody clue me in on where in the country it's distributed? All over? Only in some regions? In the meantime, I'll look again at my grocery store. Thanks!

This HAS to be a joke.

When I was in elementary school, we were told to go to Ben & Jerry's and try out the Rainforest Crunch. Not sure if we got extra credit

Don't like the phrase "gun nut".

Never have, never will.

Those that use it, cheapen our integrity.
