A popular ice-cream shop in Denmark is now looking for a new name for their "American" ice-cream, because it is not as popular as it use to be.

They are also considering selling ice-creams with "no balls", and call it Trump ๐Ÿฆ

I doubt that anyone would want to buy ice-cream called "Trump". Why not simply call it... in a non-political way?

[โ€“] huppakee@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Because if they had a good name people would definitely buy an ice cream that has no balls (of ice cream) lol

[โ€“] Tartufo@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

It wouldn't only need no balls though. With how much the orange is compensating the cone needs to be tiny, too!

[โ€“] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The option is between balls of ice cream, or softice that comes out like a turd (or both).

I guess the soft ice would be called Trump?

[โ€“] huppakee@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Ach so, well the turd has no balls so that checks out

Maybe just the waffle cracker? Because he's sprรธ som en kjeks, which works translate as โ€ฆ mad/cracked/crispy as a cracker?

Could be a good move to have customers buy a bigger or better ice cream ๐Ÿค”

Nonetheless this is definitely a marketing stunt that follows the general attitude of the visitors.

Isn't Frisko just a brand of Unilever that exists throughout Europe with a different name in each country and tastes like Garbage

This reeks of Freedom Fries energy.

This is grassroots unlike that was though. And being upset that they are threatening with war is also quite different from being upset that they won't come bomb the Middle East with us.

It is! but that's what you get for saying out loud that you can't rule out military force, to take a bite off that country

Corona beer rode out the pandemic. Maybe these guys can do the same?

[โ€“] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

I guess it's more of a statement against a country that has proclaimed that it won't rule out military force, in order to take a big part of your country
