You’re supposed to deny the guilt and sublimate it as aggression against “witches” and friendly native Americans.

Ooops I meant for that comment to go in the inflatable bondage egg thread.

Are you supposed to feel guilty about enjoying it?

Puritan made good quality clothing. Now it’s a Walmart brand for cheap $%&@.

If your earliest sexual fantasy was being Violet Beauregard with a dozen oompa-loompas, this is just the ticket.

I could actually wear a pistachio cardigan. But then I have no fashion sense to speak of.

It seems the original was 1958. Interesting stuff on the story and the movie here (interesting to me anyway):

Didn’t realize it was a movie, may try to track it down.

I would have called that colour lavender.

But that’s just me.

He had a couple versions of it, if memory serves, the one that I posted up above is from Saturday Evening Post was from 1959. I remember it differently, don’t know which of his short story collections I initially read it in. I don’t know if he came up with the name Ice Cream Suit on his own, or if it was a common description.

I see that on almost every picture.

And isn’t there a house brand from Target called Puritan these days?

I don’t know about these sweaters, but when my honey puts on his gray cashmere v-neck sweater, I have to restrain myself from ‘petting’ him – he’s ‘sensationally smooth’. Hubahuba husband.

Inspired by Ray Bradbury?

edit: Whoops, this predates the Bradbury story. Did this inspire Bradbury?

Subliminal advertising has been around for a long time.
Also, I’m going to guess ice gray was licorice flavor.

I bet it’s that Japanese gray sea salt ice cream.

Me, I miss the “ice gray” flavor. Me and my childhood friends would while away many a hot summer afternoon debating what it was, exactly, that we were tasting. I mean, everybody knows red/pink is strawberry, orange is orange, yellow is lemon, green is lime, blue is raspberry… but what the hell is gray?

Bisque? We wish we had access to bisque-flavored ice cream.

Also, the guy in that ad probably leaned his elbow into a melted raspberry ice cream puddle, hence the arrow pointing at his darkened elbow. Kind of reminds me of the Monty Python bit: How To Recognise Different Parts of the Body

If you scroll up and down there is sort of a zoetrope effect

And you can’t get other old time flavors like Limburger Lime and Unfiltered Lucky Strike Mocha.

I haven’t been able to find decent bisque ice cream since the Ford Administration. Nowadays everyone substitutes in “crustacean by-products.”
