Marc Fisher heralds the expansion of the Carvel ice-cream franchise in DC, several people clarify that it was in the area all along, and a commenter identifying himself only as "Tom Carvel" mentions that the ads featuring the real Tom Carvel's ravaged voice used to run all the time on WDCA-20 in between the Jhoon Rhee martial arts ads, as [livejournal.com profile] partiallyclips and others can undoubtedly confirm.

The nature of Carvel's ads tended to make people think they were a purely local phenomenon. I can crack Sam up by launching into a sixteen-pack-a-day spiel about Fudgie the Whale, and she was initially surprised that he wasn't just a New England institution.

Yeah, I remember finding Cookie Puss kind of disturbing. Especially when Cookie Puss spoke, in a weird electronically distorted voice if I recall correctly.
