Retrophilia: Ewwwww!
retrophilia (ret troh FEE lee uh) n. 1 An intense attraction for things of the past. 2 a weekly series for popsucker wherin the irrepressible Wootini reveals the horrors of the past to the present to avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
Okay, I know it's not the season for popsicles, but this ad just caught my eye... and then turned my stomach.
This kid might look like he's enjoying this frozen treat, but I'm going to have to give him all the credit in the world for faking it. Because once you make the jump, you'll see just how unappetizing this thing must be!
Okay, frozen strawberries? Yummy. Whipped cream? Delish. Miniature marshmallows? Who doesn't like those? But wait... what's that other ingredient?
That's right. It's made with Miracle Whip Salad Dressing.
Which means it's a miracle if it tastes good.

I love the ad copy, "Some things can be copied, and some things can't." They may as well have just said, "Some things taste good, and some things don't."
The thing that gets me is the "Do I have to?" expression on the kid's face.
Hey! I have an idea! Let's shit in an ice tray and call it a treat!
