There is still a little time to get your free Ben and Jerry's cone. However, if you missed it, you can get a thirty-one cent cone tomorrow (Wednesday) at Baskin-Robbins. Busy tomorrow? Head to Carvel on Thursday a free arctic blender or blended coffee.
Thursday is my birthday and free birthday ice cream would sure be nice, but the only Carvel near me is at the airport. The ice cream is no longer free when you have to pay for airport parking.
On an unrelated note, does anyone else find this Carvel creature creepier than clowns? We don't get Carvel TV ads in St. Louis. Can anyone tell me what this thing is supposed to be?

That would be Fudgie the Whale. I don't know his origins, but they do sell a cake shaped like him.

Oh! I remember Fudgie from when I was a kid in NY. I don't think he used to look like that though. Did he get a makeover?

They still have the original looking cake, but I think they created the live action costume guy just to have a kid friendly mascot. How kid friendly it ended up being is debatable, I guess. =)

I got dragged to a Carvel in Chicago right after they started this Fudgie action character. I thought he was creepier than Ronald McDonald! I wasn't too keen on the ice cream, either.
I have always been a Baskin-Robbins fan. Always will be. :)

I remember him too. On a related note, my friend went to a King's Restaurant (western PA) a few weeks ago and encountered a "Frownie." She said it was quite creepy and TV ads are very strange. If someone could find it, I think it would be a cool topic!

Fudgie the Whale was originally a talking pile of poo.
Fudgie the Poop.
But test marketing showed people like whales more than poop.
