a mind-bender too

here’s their pitch:
Don’t let the crazy stripes fool you. They’re vanilla too!
Crazy Vanilla looks like crazy because it has red and blue stripes leaping all over the place. But it tastes like vanilla because that’s what it is — vanilla ice cream.
It’s the coolest, craziest flavor ever. And who else but Sealtest could bring you this wacky treat? Start swinging. Pick up on this wild flavor today. Man, like it’s the craziest!

I don’t think this was sold over here, but I’m sure it would have been popular.
Best wishes, Pete.

I was thinking a kid’s birthday party–cupcakes with colored sprinkles and this ice cream. I always go for chocolate though. 😉

Yeah. Because colours have different tastes. I noticed this when I started cake decorating

From the look of the fashions in the ad, I’d say it’s from, oh, 1966-67. 1968 at the latest, but in the more conservative fringes of Sixties fashion.

Vanilla is a passe-partout but with these colours, an extra oomph! (unless they clash with the pie ;-) )
