If you’ve recognized this ice cream carrier case, this sort of reveals your age but so be it. Anyhow, it is worth revealing your age for the sake of remembering those days. 'Eskimo' fruit-flavored, popsicle type ice cream from our childhood…
This carrier case is an ice cream carrier case that 'Eskimo' ice cream sellers used to hang around their necks while they were walking around the streets, shouting "Eskimooooo...". It was used not only by ice cream sellers but also by 'Eskimo' ice cream lovers as an emergency ice cream carrier case in movie theaters and beaches.
The writing, visuals, drawings and colors on it are wonderful. It is quite amazing how an object instantly recalls the past as a whole and symbolizes that specific time, isn’t it? This 'Eskimo' ice cream carrier case is a timeless object dating back to half a century ago.
It brings back memories to our minds and the unforgettable taste of 'Eskimo' ice cream to our palates. On the down side, it also makes you crave for an 'Eskimo' ice cream.
