Cherry Guevara

You gotta love marketing... El Commandante, the Cuban guerilla leader of the 60s is now a type of ice cream from Mangum (Unilever). According to the Washington Post who relates the story, the label has the following:
"The revolutionary struggle of the cherries was squashed as they were trapped between two layers of chocolate," reads the copy on the wrapper. "May their memory live on in your mouth."
The packaging is great...


And the ice cream looks good:



I wonder what the Che would think about all this :)

"Ice cream when I see some like that"
- The Che

PS- it's Magnum, not mangum (although that'd be a nice name too)

PPS- I wonder if we'll have a Saddam Magnum with *hidden* chocolate chips for President Day next Monday... "The CIA swear the chips are there".
