Baskin-Robbins said in a press release: “Beginning Sept. 3, Americans can vote for their “flavorite” candidate in any Baskin-Robbins store nationwide or online. Flavor polls will close midnight, Oct. 20. Votes will be tallied and the winner of Flavor Debate ’08 will be announced on Oct. 21, possibly providing a taste for which candidate Americans will choose as the next president of the United States in November.”

The flavor that represents McCain, is Straight Talk Crunch, whose ingredients include caramel ribbon, chocolate pieces, candy red states, and crunchy mixed nuts swirled into white chocolate ice cream, Baskin-Robbins said.
