# Celeb Ice Cream Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream By Cowbag | Published 2007-03-28 | Celebs Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-named-after-comedian References: [foxnews](http://www.foxnews.com) Everyone's favourite, Ben & Jerry's, have named their new ice cream in honour of the comedian Stephen Colbert. Its name - Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream - does not give any clues to its flavour. However, I can tell you that it's vanilla ice cream, fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel. Previously Ben & Jerry have named ice cream after Jerry Garcia (Cherry Garcia - cherry ice cream with dark chocolate chunks), Wavy Gravy and the band Phish. Launching the new ice cream Ben & Jerry's said that it was "The sweet taste of liberty in your mouth." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Celebrity-inspired Food:** There is an opportunity for food companies to capitalize on celebrity culture and release products inspired by famous people. - **Unique Flavor Combinations:** Brands can innovate by creating unique flavor combinations that stand out among the traditional ice cream flavors. - **Limited Edition Products:** Creating limited edition products named after popular figures can create buzz and excitement among consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Companies in the food and beverage industry can use this trend to differentiate themselves and generate buzz among consumers. - **Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry can collaborate with food and beverage companies to create celebrity-inspired products and cross-promote their brand. - **Marketing and Advertising Industry:** Creating unique marketing strategies centered around limited edition products named after popular figures can increase brand awareness and drive sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaboration Ice Creams Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lights-caramel-action-ice-cream.md) - [Presidential Coconut Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coconut-jubilee.md) - [Crumbly Cherry Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-cherry-crumble.md) - [Loaded Brownie Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookies-cream-sundae.md) - [Chocolatey Strawberry Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-covered-strawberry-ice-cream.md) - [Super-Premium Ice Cream Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-ice-cream-bars.md) - [Pop Band Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friendlys-jonas-brothers.md) - [Burnt Pastry Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ben-jerrys-fudgy-flan.md) - [Caramel-Dipped Waffle Cones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-dipped-waffle-cone.md)
