Sometimes I search for things that remind me of my youth on the Internet, and when I find nothing, I get depressed. This is key stuff, people! If I think of enough of these, I may create a new category for them all.
At any rate, when I would listen to the Alex Bennett show in the early 1990s, he would have this cellular phone guy on. I think they were in Marin County. Was it Parrot Cellular? It could have been. Regardless of who it was, the phone number was an easy-to-remember one, in that the numbers spelled out a phrase. I don’t remember the original phrase, but I do remember the phrase that Alex Bennett and/or his listeners thought of: 1-888-RIB-STEW.
Also they were located next to a Double Rainbow, so the slogan was “buy a phone, get a cone.”
Now when people search for “buy a phone get a cone” on Yahoo!, they will find this post. That makes me feel better.
