Semi-off-topic: It's amazing how those unfortunate people born after 1980-85 HAVE NO CONCEPT of a whole family sitting down at dinner and dessert with CANDLES, silverware and coffee from the percolator and no plastic/throwaway crap anywhere.No joke, even without Carvel -this was how civilized America was at home.
@skeilak - I live at the Jersey shore, in Atlantic County...we don't have any in this area that I'm aware of. Ours have always been pretty good, but no Tom the Turkey lol!!!
I don't know where you live, but if it's still in the North-East, there's a "store locater" on the Carvel website, that surprised me, by showing that there are still Carvel stores within 5-10 miles of where I grew up.
PS: I read your article, and watched your excellent, "Commercial Extravaganza". Boy, did that bring back some memories!
I also get the feeling that your Thanksgivings were far better than the yearly tension-filled, family nightmare ours were. *L*

@AllisonTheSNLGuru :
Every now and then, my parents used to take my sister and I, to the Carvel in Shrewsbury, NJ. The ice cream was better than the Dairy Queen.
Tom Carvel's voice, and these commercials are as ingrained in my memory as, "Crazy Eddie" and "Beautiful Mount Airy Lodge".
