"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Drive-in ads, that takes me back. They have a special dull early film-color look, and primitive animation. Actually this reminds me of images from Mao's Cultural Revolution!
I'm a little surprised that the name is still used, since some people have claimed that the word "Eskimo" is racist. I don't think "Inuit Pie" really has the same ring.
I only went to a drive-in a few times (my parents took my brother and me when were kids). I can still remember the smell of burgers and fries at the little snack stand. Pardon me while I drool...
Eskimo Pie...the Rachel Dolezal of ice cream treats.

ReplyDeleteThis is our Eskimo Pie, unchanged since lo these many moons now since I was a mere lad.

Your Eskimo Pie bears a strong resemblance to the old Peters Choc Wedge. Funny how things change when you cross the Equator!

ReplyDeleteBruce: Very true, what you say about the color of these old ads. Puts me in mind of our ancient family movies, shot with an 8mm film camera.
ReplyDeleteHow I loved Eskimo pies when I was a kid. Seeing that clip reminded of the dancing hot dogs our local drive-in used to run.
