Re: This may or may not be a selling point
I heard that there's a new Jerry Garcia Ben & Jerry's flavour coming out, recreating Jerry's taste from a different point in his career.
Also, people spend a lot of time taste-chasing EVH flavour from the late '70s, a lot of boutique ice cream makers have their interpretations.
Back to the original post, maybe it wasn't related to the product? Maybe they were just saying that he would have been proud of what he accomplished?
Maybe there are others like "Gene Simmons can never have too much money"?
