According to Trendhunter magazine, on the heels of Germany’s Obama fried chicken fingers, Russia has its own unseemly ad for Duet Ice Cream: “This ice cream ad reads, ‘The Flavor of the Week! Black in White! Chocolate in Vanilla’ and features a chocolate and almond coated vanilla ice cream bar with a cartoon Obama standing in front of the White House with four vibrant rainbows and sun beams bursting cheerfully in the background.” I’m reminded of a popular Viennese confection called the Mohr im Hemd-a sort of chocolate-hazelnut pudding surrounded by a vanilla sauce. (It translates to “Moor in Shirt,” or a nightshirt, which is presumably white.) I’ve never had Russian ice cream, Obama-flavored or otherwise, but for my money, I’ll stick with Eva Longoria and her love for Magnums.
