Super Bowl Commercials? How About Carvel's Cookie O Puss?

It looks like advertising spending will be down this year for the Super Bowl due to the economy. I'm sure it's a one in a billion chance but maybe, just maybe we'll see a really, really low budget commercial like this Carvel commercial for Cookie O Puss from 1982.

What? A guy can dream can't he?

Swedish Go-Getter Won't Let Ice Cream Disaster Stop Her

This Ice Cream commercial you've got to see. What could have turned into a disaster on a hot day, turns into a study of an enterprising young Swedish whipper snapper getting an ice cold treat.

I will tell you my favorite part in this video. It's starts at 17 seconds in. Look at that young lady. Ice Cream is dripping down the cone - she's not gonna let it get away. Some stupider and uglier people would have have tossed the whole cone into the trash can and left it for the yellow jackets. Not Inga. She smartly takes a lick of the whole shaft of the cone, then eagerly takes a full in mouth ice cream treat. That's the spirit. She understands that there's some drippage. Will that bother her? "Forget that noise!" (she probably says).

Enjoy

Guernsey Cow In Exton Now Has a Blog

The World's Largest Cow used to be located in Exton PA. If you're from Chester County, you know that I'm talking about the Guernsey Cow - the Exton Pa Ice Cream Shop. Check out the Guernsey Cow blog as it has some nice info and pictures of this landmark Exton establishment.

Make sure to check out the pics of Willie Minor on the site and his tricked out bike which includes a full sized shopping cart strapped to the back. If you grew up in the area, these pictures will be bring back some great memories.
And just think, one could share a wholesome milkshake with their best girl at the Guernsey Cow, then travel two miles west on route 30 to the Downingtown Farmers Market to gawk at Sandy Allen (worlds tallest woman), piss off the Friday night BINGO players by yelling "G.4" everytime you walk by and purchase a bootleg Thin Lizzy belt buckle. Those were the days.
