\"Ben<\/p>\n

Lazy Sunday now is in ice cream form
\nBut to eat it, you gotta go to the Ben and Jerry\u2019s store
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s that?\u201d you ask. Let me shut down your smile
\nNo Lazy Sunday in the supermarket aisle<\/p>\n

Based on the sketch by Samberg and Parnell
\nLook it up on YouTube\u2014it did super well
\nThere are tons of parodies, and we should confess
\nThat white people joke rap is borderline at BEST<\/p>\n

The flavor has chocolate swirl and some cake bits
\nA cake batter base\u2014okay, just let me taste it
\nBen & Jerry’s adding to my building frustration
\nThe nearest Scoop Shop is at the f*$%ing train station<\/p>\n

Left. No\u2014right! No\u2014straight! One-way street!
\nPedaling the bicycle, can’t wait for those sweets
\nI know where I\u2019m going, don\u2019t get it twisted
\nUsed Google Maps because the rap song insisted<\/p>\n

(instrumental break)<\/p>\n

I stroll to the counter, try to act all casual
\nLike I\u2019m not reviewing food, stay normal and affable
\nThe attendant asks me, \u201cHow does two scoops sound?\u201d
\nI tell her \u201cThree scoops. I\u2019m not fooling around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Start to dig in to the creamy frozen treat
\nIt smells like a birthday cake, if you can believe
\nChocolate and vanilla flavoring\u2014both pretty typical
\nLet\u2019s talk about the cake bits and get a little critical<\/p>\n

Breaking up the texture would be the dream
\nBut they\u2019re about the same consistency of frozen ice cream
\nThey\u2019re chewy and sticky, tiny bits of brilliance
\nToo bad when you\u2019re eating cake, you can\u2019t tell the difference<\/p>\n

Cake ice cream, cake bits, so much cake, I\u2019m at a party
\nOne-sided, kinda boring, tell the host I\u2019m sorry
\nI\u2019m tasting too much cake, that\u2019s the reason why
\nEven at a cake party I pull the Irish goodbye.<\/p>\n

Nothing crunchy, nothing salty, nothing avant garde
\nI will not mourn you at the Flavor Graveyard<\/a>
\nDo they really bury pints there? The gravestone quips
\nHere lies Jimmy Fallon: Fudge-covered potato chips<\/p>\n

They stuck cupcakes in this because it\u2019s in the song
\nI can\u2019t help but think they were doing something wrong
\nMaybe there are legal things and other confines
\nBut imagine this flavor: Mr. Pibb and Red Vines<\/p>\n

The Ben & Jerry\u2019s lady says to me the price
\nI do a double take, \u201cSay it to me, twice.\u201d
\nIt costs same as a pint? What are you, insane?
\nYou know who I\u2019m not? Marta Kauffman nor David Crane<\/a><\/p>\n

I liked this okay, I guess what I mean is
\nLike McAdams likes Gosling, in two thousand fourteens\u2019
\nYeah, sure, okay, Us Weekly confirms
\nThey both feel indifferent\u2014left on decent terms<\/p>\n

Get back on my bike, flash a little grin
\nStill had ice cream so I consider that a win
\nWrote up this track here, a tribute to the original
\nI’m eating Americone Dream, my life\u2019s so nutritional<\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Ben & Jerry\u2019s Lazy Sunday Ice Cream
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $5.50
\nSize:<\/b> Large (3 scoops)
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Ben & Jerry\u2019s Scoop Shop
\nRating:<\/b> 5 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> It\u2019s ice cream. Cake balls are very cake-y. Cake flavoring is strong, good.
\nCons:<\/b> It\u2019s not really balanced taste-wise. The cake balls are the same texture as the ice cream so they get lost easily.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
