For BigDaddyMatty (and anybody in my Cleveland neighborhood)

Post by Robert K S »

Cleveland-based Progressive Insurance is buying all of Cleveland ice cream in honor of the Cavs playoff game [tonight]. Teaming up with Mitchell’s Ice Cream in Ohio City, Progressive will offer a free treat with wine and gold colored sprinkles [tonight] from 6:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. Simply stop into the Mitchell’s Ice Cream store on West 25th in Ohio City and say “Sprinkles are for winners,” the line made famous by Progressive’s advertising icon, Flo, to get a free menu item.

In the line now. It's around the block. Mitchell's, by the way, isn't just any ice cream... it's the premium stuff. The fact that you can pick anything on the menu is pretty generous.

What's your t-shirt size? I'll see if I can win you a limited edition "Sprinkles are for winners" t-shirt.

Alas, my girlfriend blanked on the trivia, "Who is Cleveland named for?" She forgot that her other favorite premium ice cream joint in town is named after him.
Spoiler
Moses Cleaveland; Sweet Moses is the ice cream shop.

I thought all the ice cream was going to make them blow the big lead, but they hung on and won.

I will never forget that, thanks to the College Humor tourism videos for Cleveland.

Could have been a rerun of 6/4/1974 where Cleveland Stadium did ten cent beer night and people got drunk and the Texas Rangers won by default.

Ten Cent Beer Night ranks with Disco Demolition as the worst promotions in baseball history.

Billy Martin was managing the Rangers on beer night. I wonder if he had someone go get him a few.
