The ice cream company, Ben & Jerry's, apologized for their new flavor ice cream called "Lin-Sanity." Apparently, they put fortune cookies in the frozen yogurt and are now apologizing for the action.
Instead, they replaced it with waffle cones.
"We offer a heartfelt apology if anyone was offended by our handmade Lin-Sanity flavor," Ben & Jerry's said in a statement.
The new ice cream flavor was selling at a Harvard location in Boston. Ben & Jerry's is now the next company awed by the New York Knicks' point guard's stardom, and like others, did an offensive action.
"We are proud and honored to have Jeremy Lin hail from one of our fine, local universities and we are huge sports fans," Ben & Jerry's said in the news release. "Our intention was to create a flavor to honor Jeremy Lin's accomplishments and his meteoric rise in the NBA, and recognize that he was a local Harvard graduate.
"We try (to) demonstrate our commitment as a Boston-based, valued-led business and if we failed in this instance we offer our sincere apologies."
