The Icee bear stops being a tease

Oh Icee bear, who shall remain nameless because it apparently doesn’t actually have a name other than “Polar Bear.” How I love you neo-Igloo Caps type face and your permanently retro identity. You’ve been holding out on me for so long, always on an ice surfboard, and in the past decade, an ice snowboard. Countless are the times that I’ve put a crick in my neck doing a double take while passing an Icee machine, only to find that it was still just a snowboard. I’VE GOT NOTHING AGAINST SNOWBOARDING. I imagine I’d love it if I was still doing it. Talk to me again in a year, my son is dying to go snowboarding on “Mountain Hood.” Icees are perfect on a hot sunny day, so it only makes sense the company is based in a really hot, arid climate like… Ontario, Canada. Huh, there’s no city there.. Oh no, that’s Ontario, California. I thought about lifting this sign from the Icee store at the mall, but the teenager behind the counter was so intent on providing good customer service that she wouldn’t leave me alone long enough to filch it. Turns out you can download a crisp semi-high resolution image of this. Hit the Icee web site, click on the Fun Zone and look for wallpapers.
