Amid all of the chaos within the media, it is always good to find one story that doesn’t make you feel like the world is going to end tomorrow. Joe Biden seems to be the only former politician who is known for brightening the days of millions of Americans, and, earlier this week, one of his dreams came true.
Biden has been known as the ice cream enthusiast to end all ice cream enthusiasts, as seen in many interviews throughout the years. In one speech he stated, “I eat more ice cream than three other people you’d like to be with, all at once.” He has been chosen to speak at Cornell University’s commencement ceremony on May 27. Once hearing about this, Molly Mandel, a former Cornell Dairy intern, began to quickly compile a list of possible combinations to creat this flavor. Seeing as in every picture Biden is seen eating a different flavor, she had no idea where to begin. Mandel notified Deanna Simons, the quality manager and academic programs coordinator at Cornell, who then called UDairy Creamery-the ice cream shop from Biden’s alma mater, University of Delaware. UDairy told Simons about Biden’s love of vanilla ice cream and chocolate chips, which finalized the flavor.
Students at Cornell have been given a list of names for the flavor which have been narrowed down to five finalists, all of which are being avidly voted on to determine the winner. The five final names are:
- Biden’s Chocolate Bites
- Bits n’ Biden
- Big Red, White & Biden
- Not Your Average Joe’s Chocolate Chips
- Uncle Joe’s Chocolate Chip
No matter what your preference is on ice cream, I think it is safe to say that upon hearing this news, Biden will be quite exstatic. Personally, I think that Uncle Joe’s Chocolate Chip should win, but which name would you vote for if you had the choice?
