So what happened 75 years before 2009, in 1934? The Carvel Corporation was founded in 1936 (73 years before 2009). Perhaps the problem, Dina, is that you are so much worse than “regular people”.Īccording to Carvel’s history, Tom Carvel first began selling ice cream in 1929 (80 years before 2009). “It just shows how we get treated so much worse than regular people.” 2 What did the overweening Dina Lohan have to say about the incident? After more than six months of numerous and large orders for ice cream, we finally had to cut off the card and take it back. You diabolical she-devil! Why, you’ll eat them right out of business! However will Carvel respond?Īt first, we graciously honored their requests while explaining that the Black Card was not a carte blanche for unlimited Carvel Ice Cream for the extended Lohan family and friends. “When Ali gets back, I’m going to bring her in everyday to this store - and you can print that!” “Just wait until Lindsay and Ali hear about this,” she said. Speaking with Radar Online just after the incident, Ms. She did not receive her ice cream cake free of charge, proving there’s some justice in the world, even if it’s just very stupid justice. Lohan, though they instructed her not to use it again. Ultimately the police returned the card to Ms. Upon being asked for ID, and having the card confiscated, the elder Ms. The matter came to a head June 16th, when Dina Lohan attempted to use the card while picking up an ice cream cake. While the card was issued in Lindsay and Ali’s names only, their extended family has repeatedly used the card without either present. These cards were issued in the celebrity’s name and require the card holder to be present at the time of use…Unfortunately, the Lohan family has been abusing the card. This error in judgement was rapidly exposed when Dina Lohan, mother to Lindsay and Ali, repeatedly used the card herself without either of her famous daughters present. It seems like a solid enough plan, but it all goes off the rails when your list of chosen celebrities includes Lindsay Lohan (as well as her sister Ali). With the help of the paparazzi who would be sure to be taking pictures, Carvel would receive nearly free publicity. Presumably, the marketing thinking behind this was that such a card would draw the chosen celebrities into Carvel’s stores. 1 Apparently, as part of this promotion, they issued a Carvel Black Card to 75 celebrities: The story starts in 2009, when Carvel Ice Cream was celebrating its 75th anniversary. Best of all, it’s got arrogance and self-conceit, followed by comeuppance, which is my absolute favorite kind of uppance. This story features a relative of the ridiculous Lindsay Lohan, a black card (or at least a knock-off), and Carvel ice cream. Yet somehow, I couldn’t help but be amused by a particular recent bit of “celebrity” “news”. But even worse is “celebrity” “news”, coverage of people who’ve never themselves done anything noteworthy. My disdain for it should be obvious from the way I put quotes around the word news right there.
