They were too late to stop the Kid Sniffer from opening his mouth, but Biden's handlers did manage to contain one other photo-op disaster

Joe wasn’t allowed to leave UConn with a huge tub of ice cream made especially for him

STORRS — President Joe Biden nearly left his visit to Connecticut Friday with a specially made supply of ice cream from the UConn Dairy Bar — until the plan melted.

The nearly 70-year-old establishment had made a fresh batch of chocolate chip — the presidential favorite — for Biden to take with him.

However, Biden didn’t get to leave with it, according to Stephanie Reitz, a spokeswoman for the University of Connecticut.

Reitz speculated the reason may have been Secret Service had not been able to secure the site in advance, or possibly due to COVID-19 concerns.

“We had gallons in the [Dodd] Center but, alas, none of it made it into his hands,” Reitz said by phone.

The dairy bar opened in 1953 to sell products made by the creamery, part of the university’s College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources. The creamery has been in operation for more than a century, according to UConn, and bottled milk until the early 1990s.

“It was touch-and-go whether we could get him out of there without at least a cone,” Miss Jenny told FWIW, “but we positioned a little girl at the doorway of Air Force One, holding a real-tempting double scoop, and we got it done.”
