I scream, you scream, we all scream for Obama

Katie Long Jun 17, 2013

Leaders of some of the world’s richest countries meet in Northern Ireland today for the annual G8 summit. High on the agenda will be the conflict in Syria, the issue of tax avoidance and a U.S.-EU free trade deal.

But something else is also on the menu: ice cream. 

An ice cream shop in the nearby town of Enniskillen geared up for the global event by selling eight new flavors of ice cream, one for each Group of Eight leader.

Scroll below to see the flavor connected to each leader, and tell us: Do your taste buds agree?
