Available only at their Harvard Square location, Ben & Jerry's is offering a limited edition flavored inspired by LINsanity.
"Taste The LINsanity," features vanilla frozen yogurt with lychee honey swirls and includes delicious little crumbles of fortune cookie.
I feel like this is racist for two reasons.
1) Besides being Asian, there is no real connection between Lin and fortune cookies
2) Lychees are native to Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia is not where Jeremy Lin is from. He is from Northern California.

After a bit of backlash, Ben & Jerry's is rumored to be replacing the fortune cookies with bits of waffle cone - although they claim its because the fortune cookies were getting too soggy.
Again, this flavor is only available in the Harvard Square location, presumably since Lin attended Harvard University.
