This Summer, Dreyer’s Ice Cream has decided to go with a limited edition “economic recovery” themed ice cream:
“Red, White & No More Blues!”
It even comes with its own exclamation point.

Their tagline: “Recovery never tasted so good.”

Really.

They are using the economic recession as a marketing gimmick at a whole new level.

Some suggestions for alternate taglines:
• Looks like you’ll be eating ice cream for lunch and dinner this week!
• You’re not working, might as well get fat!
• Buy ice cream or diapers, make your choice!
• Strawberry and blueberry – the official flavors of valueless stocks!
• Red, White & Food Stamps!
• Find flavor while searching for hope!

The real recession-friendly ice cream:
the 99¢ McDonald’s soft-serve cone.
