Despite the third installment of Spidey being a damp squib, it hasn’t deterred companies from trying their best to cash in on Marvel Comics’ most recognized character.
The latest to join the bandwagon is the Californian ice-cream giant, Baskin Robbins.
Impervious to the washout that the red-and-blue-attired-superhero received at the hands of implacable critics, Baskin Robbins has launched the Superhero triple ice-cream range.
The names are conveniently “inspired” –
Web Slinger
Green Gobbler
Sandstorm
The only saving grace – free comics of the webbed wonder with every ice-cream you purchase.
No wonder the kiddies are lining up eagerly.
Leaving us adults thanking for small mercies that those “innovative” people out there didn’t come up with even more ludicrous names.
Sample this:
Symbiote Strawberry or Mary-Jane Mango soufflés anyone?
(Shudder)
