Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie.

Oh come on, if cherry garcia gets his dues, then phish can get thiers!!!! they are both good, well then so's mint oreo. But I can see the pigs not liking it.

(side note for those unaware: Phish is a band who has an ice cream nammed after them, now who know's where the flavor "one sweet whirled" came from?)
