Take it fromTime, which once quoted Biden (then the vice president) on the 2016 campaign trail.

“You all think I’m kidding.

You’re getting the Ohio connection, right?

Wait for it … here comes the punchline.

But at any rate, I came for ice cream.”

Twitter can’t stop cracking jokes about it.

“Lincoln, 1860: ‘I can’t imagine any American defecting from our nation.

Anyway, I came for ice cream,'” joked another viatweet.

To support that theory we’d enter the following into evidence.

In 2010 Biden quipped, “I am a genuine lover of ice cream.

I don’t drink.

I don’t smoke.

But I eat a lot of ice cream” (viaE!).

(Again, note the Ohio connection.)

The special, for the ice cream curious, included crunchy chocolate flakes, pieces of chocolate-covered waffle cone.
