Penn State sticking by Peachy Paterno ice cream

7/24/2012

Joe Paterno has suffered many indignities since he died, thanks to his own inability to recognize and remove a child molester who was working right under his nose. One tribute to JoePa that is sticking around, though, is Peachy Paterno, the unfortunately-named ice cream served up at the college’s creamery. Just to show they’re not completely insensitive, though, the creamery will donate any proceeds earned from sales of Peachy Paterno to an organization that deals with child sexual abuse. The flavor, oddly, has its own Twitter handle, but it has yet to comment on the scandal. Peachy Paterno is apparently still living in the past, when these two words still went together without causing people to cringe. [Source]

Should the flavor be renamed?
