Gay Icon Elton John Gets Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Flavor
Gay icon and AIDS activist Elton John is the subject of a new Ben and Jerry’s ice cream flavor: “Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road.” All proceeds from sale of the flavor will benefit Elton John’s AID Foundation.
Here is what Rolling Stone had to say about the honor:
To celebrate the first time Elton John has ever played the state of Vermont, native ice cream kings Ben & Jerry have concocted a new flavor dedicated to John called “Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road,” with all proceeds benefitting the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
The ice cream is described as “an outrageous symphony of decadent chocolate ice cream, peanut butter cookie dough, butter brickle and white chocolate chunks.” We assumed “brickle” was just a made-up word to make a punny tie between the ice cream and John’s hit “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” but butter brickle is actually the stuff that Heath Bars are made of.
“Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road” will be saying goodbye sooner rather than later, however, as the limited edition flavor will only be available in B&J’s Vermont Scoop Shops from July 18-25. Sir Elton joins Phish, Jerry Garcia and Dave Matthews as musicians who have had a flavor dedicated to them.
