Clay Aiken's Mystery Swirl
Edy's Ice Cream is launching a line of American Idol-themed flavors, including Hollywood Cheesecake, Soulful Sundae Cone and Choc 'N Roll Caramel. Normally, I wholly approve of Edy's "Slow Churned" attempts, but they dropped the ball on this one. Those flavor names blow. Just think of the better possibilities:
Berry Underwood
Crandisa!
Ruben's Big Tub of Goo
Brain Freeze (official dessert of Kellie Pickler)
Guarini's Tears
And I Am Telling You I'm Not Fudgy
Snow Bice
Dumb Raisin (OK, Pickler gets two)
Randy Apple
Marshmaroulis
Anybody got a flavor for Taylor Hicks? Bucky Covington? Kat McPhee?
UPDATE! Gotta say, I tried Edy's American Idol "Take the Cake" flavor last night, and it was damn delicious. Like a strawberry sundae with moist chunks of brown-sugar crust. Mmm, I can just feel myself getting fatter.
That said, the show itself was a disaster. Get ready for a ratings drop. There's a bad vibe to this year's show. And the Jack Osbourne clone -- Chris Sligh -- is turning out to be a creep. He forced a couple bad jokes last night, including awkwardly insulting Simon at the end, and made himself look like a jerk. Just sing and be pudgy, dude. Stop with the zingers.
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
Huckleberry Buckle for Bucky, Jerky Treat Taylor & Skinny Minnie McPhee- for all the people on diets.

What about Elliott Yamin? How about
Yaminilious?

Yaminilious sounds more like a vaccine than a confection. But I like where your head is at.
Keep 'em coming!

You can have a favor named Egg-cellent.

CORRECTION! I've been told I actually had "Hollywood Cheesecake" last night. No correction, however, on its deliciosity.

How about Kahlua and Cream McPhee or Macademia Nut McPhee? Bucky Pecan or Buckyscotch? Or the Taylor Hick's Twist--part chocolate, part vanilla.

PLEASE tell me the title of the song (and the artist who recorded it) that is used in the Edy's Slow Churned American Idol flavors commercial that features the teenagers dancing in the living room.
