Imagine a Norman Rockwell-esque family, mom, dad, junior, and kitten, sitting in a booth at Friendly’s, eating ice cream; next thing we know, they’re taking part in some latter-day Electric Kool-Aid Acid test. Off on a Kandy-Kolored reverie, parents and kiddies encounter exploding multi-colored sprinkles, flying chocolate peanut butter Frisbees and ice cream trees next to a river of chocolate. (Where are the marmalade skies?) But the acid trip ends there: soon we see the family of four bicycling down a path, wearing dorky head gear, and then unceremoniously dumped back into their Friendly booth.
