Sanford and Son-flavored ice cream deemed "unmitigated marketing failure" by top Haagen Daaz official


In a fairly typical press release today, Haagen Daaz announced that its "Sanford & Son"-flavored ice cream failed to elicit any positive reactions from tasters at the annual Rogue Ice Cream Concepts Conference in Dakha, Idaho. The ice cream flavor was supposed to taste like the characters on the popular 70's sitcom, Sanford & Son. "It totally bombed--no one thought it tasted even remotely like those two cats..." said Chet Wackerpulp, Chief Marketing Manager at Haagen Daaz. "I got fired, too..." he sheepishly revealed before your correspondent fell asleep due to too many salty chips.
