Yesterday is Today.....

Thomas Carvelas aka Tom Carvel has been dead at least 10 or 15 years (maybe more). Those commercials aired 25-30 years ago and until long after he was dead.... They might still be airing someplace.

Personally I always liked the voice of Cookiepuss better.

And Carvel is still around. Most of their stores were sitting on prime lots with drive up type parking, so they probably lost their leases over time and had strip malls or banks built on those lots while the Carvels were forced to relocate to smaller locations. There's still about a half dozen in Queens... one is on Metropolitan ave and 72rd in Forest Hills. That one relocated a few years ago from it's original location.

Tasteless Tom Carvel joke

How does (did) Tom Carvel take a dump?

Squats and swivels hips while dumping to create the "swirl" effect.

Trust me, the joke works as a visual.
