Just a quick, lighthearted and utterly ludicrous read I just came across from another WordPress blog … And I didn’t know Carvel was hip enough to have its own blog …
Seems the ice cream giant, on whose fine ice cream-type product I was raised from toddler in Brooklyn (my grandma lived above one) through my adolescence in Connecticut, had issued special black cards to certain celebrities, giving them free ice cream for 75 years.
But the mother of a certain talented-actress-turned-trainwreck used her daughter’s black card and abused the privilege, and Carvel responded in kind by taking the card away. To which mom complained loudly and publicly.
God … besides the fact that there are millions of more deserving schleps out there who would love an occasional complimentary Cookie Puss or Fudgie the Whale or 8-pack of Flying Saucers, or even a large soft-serve vanilla cone with a cherry bonnet, you think there are more problems in the world than this.
Anyway, here’s the link to the Carvel post. Now I’m sure if old Tom Carvel were still alive, he’d have a contest to give one or two of the multitude of deserving fans a chance to enjoy the black card privilege … and not abuse it …
