ice cream shop offers Santorum shake

Last edited Wed Mar 7, 2012, 05:32 PM - Edit history (1)



A Hershey, Pennsylvania ice cream shop owner came up with a novel way to support his favorite GOP presidential candidate: by creating a milkshake in his name.

Francis (Frank) Manuopus thought he should do more that plant a lawn sign to spread his support for Santorum, so he invented the Santorum Shake, made with double dutch chocolate (in honor of the Pennsylvania Dutch) and whipped cream because Santorum is "the cream of the crop" to Manuopus.

"If someone has never had the Santorum Shake, they absolutely MUST have a cherry on top," Manuopus added.

He has promoted it in various ways, such as selling it for 50% off if people ask for it at the far right end of the counter or who come in the back door.

and the rest...

While not much is known about the way Santorum dines, he does have a salad named after him at Pizza Ranch. Santorum tried a chicken and mayonnaise salad at the restaurant in Boone, Iowa, and after he said he liked it, it shortly named the salad after him.

UPDATE: Always a good sport, Newt Gingrich came in for a Santorum Shake when he was in town. He brought his own whipped cream and offered to share it with all the ladies in the shop.

"Frankly, I used to enjoy sharing this with my wife, but now it's more fun to give it to women I've just met," he explained.

"who come in the back door."


"If someone has never had the Santorum Shake, they absolutely MUST have a cherry on top"



"Santorum is "the cream of the crop"

The local gay crowd has "been flooding in, saying they want to taste Santorum. "

"The priest said he has made this for boys in the rectory lots of times, but never actually tried it."



This CAN'T be for real!

a pocket bible, an "I'm a fudge packer" bumper sticker, and lastly, an anal cork to stop leakage while going from where the deed took place, to the bathroom to clean up. I think I'll market that......The Santorum Anal Cork, stops penetration if inserted before the "act".........and if there is penetration and the act occurs, stops leakage, oozing and the occasional exhausting of foul air......The Santorum Anal Cork gives you peace of mind after you've gotten a piece of ass.
