There are few things I love more than America, Baseball, and Ice Cream. My family sure, but to be honest it’s kind of close. There’s nothing better than sitting at a game in the midst of summer, watching your favorite team take down a rival while you soak up the sun and snack on a delicious frozen treat. Years back, there existed something that encompassed all three of the key components I named above. I’m talking about Good Humor’s Bubble Play. 

I’ll pause to let you reflect as your taste buds take you back to a time of euphoric delights, a staple of the youth of every millennial child from sea to shining sea.

Bubble Play was the perfect summer treat, straight from the ice cream truck circling your neighborhood after you just got done running through the sprinkler. Unfortunately, it’s been years since it’s been available and the world was never the same. Some say the current political climate is due to the lack of Bubble Play, but that’s neither here nor there. 

But what if I told you, we had a chance to restore our summers to former greatness?

Good Humor has proposed to me that I come up with a plan to revive Bubble Play.

The only thing that millennials are better at than making great social media campaigns is reviving products of yesteryear. So I ask you, please use the hashtag #BringBackBubblePlay and show Good Humor just how much you love and miss Bubble Play, and maybe, just maybe, we can save the summers yet to come.

Happy Declassified JFK Documents Day!

If you’re from Massachusetts then you know JFK is a goddamn legend around these parts. Seriously, I grew up with framed photos of JFK all around my parents’ house. An Irish Catholic Boston boy became the most powerful man in the world; no wonder he’s a folk hero around here. As Frank Costello said in The Departed:

“Twenty years after an Irishman couldn’t get a fucking job, we had the presidency.”

Not to mention the guy was smooth as silk and (allegedly) dated the most famous actress ever in Marilyn Monroe. But of course Lee Harvey Oswald had to go and fuck that up for everyone. 50 years later and people still aren’t entirely sold on what exactly happened or if it could have been prevented. Having sealed, classified documents for five decades breeds skepticism? Go figure. Well Donald Trump just said fuck it lets get in there and allowed a ton of previously unseen docs to hit the public eye. Haven’t had a chance to dive into them myself, but I’m sure we’ll learn some juicy details. From what I’ve heard its more of the CIA and the FBI shit the bed on preventing the assassination rather than second shooter conspiracy cover ups. Either way, buckle up because this should be an interesting couple of weeks.
