Tom Turkey Cake
By The Museum Of Classic Chicago Television
“Here’s a treat for ‘Fuzzy’ New Yorkers: a commercial for Carvel Ice Cream, promoting their ‘Tom Turkey’ ice cream cake for Thanksgiving. (The molds used to produce this were also used for such other goodies as Cookie Puss and Fudgie the Whale.) Serves 10 to 12, net weight 45 ounces.
“Voiceover by Tom Carvel (the founder and namesake of Carvel Ice Cream), both as himself and (sped-up and heavily processed) as Tom Turkey.
“This aired on local New York City TV (and in Chicago through cable) early Saturday, November 17, 1984 during the 4:30 a.m. to 6 a.m. timeframe.”
