The Beatles' back catalogue is gradually being licensed out to the highest bidder, as previously reported, and now it seems John Lennon's name is being touted too! Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream have launched a new flavour inspired by John Lennon. Long known for their love of '60s groups (well, they have got a flavour called Cherry Garcia), they're putting out a Lennon inspired ‘Imagine Whirled Peace’ tub, which to you and me is a toffee and fudge flavour. The pud also has peace signs throughout.

The packaging features Lennon's signature and comes complete with a warning that the Peace signs were made on a manufacturing line that also processes nuts. Nuts? Peace? I could crowbar a pun outta that, I'm certain. The press release reads: "When Ben & Jerry's wanted to talk about peace, we couldn't think of a better person to exemplify the message than John Lennon. Through his art and lyrics he imagined a world without war and asked us all to 'Give Peace a Chance'. We hope this whirly mixture of toffee cookies and fudge peace signs enlightens your bellies and souls and makes you ask what you can do to promote peace in your lives."

Read over for some more food related puns.

I apologise in advance for these song / brand-inspired puns:

Give Peas A Chance - Bird's Eye Frozen Peas

'Jami' Hendrix-inspired fruit preserves from Robertson's

Diana Ross and The Supremes 'Baby Gloves' from Mothercare

No Woman No Fry - Bob Marley themed Grilling Machine

Subterranean Homesick Shoes - Bob Dylan footwear from Clark's.

I'm going to stop now and hang my head in shame somewhere...
