If the media will let you forget about Obama, Hilary, McCain and Nader for a second (yes, I said Nader—what, you didn’t know?), you might have time to participate in yet another election: Bobtail Ice Cream Company has just announced that this summer’s flavor contest is getting all presidential and shit, complete with primaries, stump speeches and, um, sprinkles?

Okay, so these analogies aren’t really working…let me get to the details. Starting May 1st you’ll be able to nominate any flavor you can come up with at any Bobtail store (good luck coming up with something better than last year’s). Bobtail will sift through these nominations (the primaries, if you will) and pick two flavors to make and sell in their stores. The creators of each flavor will be given an opportunity to hold a rally at one of Bobtail’s stores, and the flavor that sells the most from June 5–July 11th wins.

As interesting as the presidential election? Maybe not. But considering how negative things are getting out there, it should be a nice change of pace. Because if anything, Bobtail’s election will definitely be—wait for it…wait for it—sweet.
