Ben & Jerry's Responds to Fictional 'Parks & Recreation' Ron Swanson Ice Cream Flavor - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

A cute fan-made image of a Ron Swanson-inspired Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor has been floating around the Internet for the last week, much to the delight of everybody here at AOL TV. But, things got real when Ben & Jerry's took note.

Taken from a line in a 'Parks and Recreation Season 3 episode where Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) demands all the bacon and eggs a diner has, the fictional ice cream is scotch-flavored and called "All the Bacon and Eggs You Have." Sounds ... perfect? Gross? Amazing? Too hard to say, really.

The fine folks and Ben & Jerry's took notice of the exceptional fan-crafted ice cream carton art and said this in a statement to NBC:

"We're thrilled that a passionate and dedicated Pawnee city government employee like Ron Swanson (who is a shotgun of humor to the funny bone) is getting his just desserts."

"Ron's beliefs are in accordance with those of Ben & Jerry's -- where two scoops of government can help the less fortunate and truly be a servant to the community and its citizens. Finally, for Ron's sake, we're happy that the recipe is almond-less; and we're thankful that the flavor did not include a turkey leg."

This isn't the first time Ron Swanson's food creations and brought them to semi-life. Jimmy Fallon had Nick Offerman eat a Ron Swanson turkey burger, a deep-fried turkey leg inside a giant beef patty.

Parks and Recreation is my favorite show and Ron Swanson is my favorite character. Which is why I am here!

I am an American living in China. I and my (Chinese) wife, went on a trip to another Chinese city with a group of people. For staying in the hotel, we had a free breakfast every morning.

Chinese hotel breakfast buffets are not good. However, their saving grace was that they had bacon, and with that, a fried egg and toast (made from the worst bread), I cobbled together an American breakfast. The second day, there was no bacon and I had to harrass the staff to get me some. By the third morning, I was downstairs quickly for that bacon, egg and toast breakfast.
