COLUMBUS – Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams is releasing a special flavor in honor of President-elect Joe Biden, a big fan of the Columbus-made ice cream.According to Jeni’s website, the White House Chocolate Chip flavor consists of vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate-covered waffle cone pieces and chocolate flakes, mimicking Biden’s favorite flavor: chocolate chip in a waffle cone.Jeni’s is hardly the only company to release special products ahead of the inauguration on Wednesday, but the next president of the United States has a history with the central Ohio ice cream brand. Late last year, the food news site Eater reported that Biden’s campaign spent $10,000 on Jeni’s ice cream. (The expense failed to help Biden carry Ohio.)Prior to a presidential debate in September, Biden posted on Instagram a picture of a pint of Jeni’s ice cream (salted peanut butter with chocolate flakes), which Biden jokingly labeled a “performance enhancer.”The post was a response to soon-to-be-former President Donald Trump’s baseless claim that Biden improved his debate performance with drugs.Ask HR: Can companies mandate COVID-19 vaccines for employees?The future of cars: New in-vehicle technology shows we’re using cars ‘as much for living as traveling’pcooley@dispatch.com@PatrickACooley
