Mysterious Pink Vapor Looms in Maine Sky – Is It Barbie??

Author Beasley Media Editorial

This past weekend residents of Portland, Maine noticed a mysterious pink vapor in the sky. It was a very pretty shade of pink but, what the heck is it?? Hunches began being thrown out and turning into rumors which spread faster than a blueberry bush (which actually doesn’t spread very quickly). Rumors which gained speed and traction included:

“It must be a breast cancer awareness event somewhere nearby.”
“It’s got to be a promotion for the Barbie movie.”
“Holy cow, loudest gender reveal everrrrrr.”

As it turned out the pink vapor was coming from Eco Maine waste management company. So what is the origin of the pink vapor? Eco Maine isn’t entirely sure but thinks some trash that was being incinerated contained iodine, causing the pretty pink smoke poofing into the sky. Eco Maine is working on getting the iodine out of the trash stream since the CDC says exposure to iodine vapor can cause health issues including insomnia, bronchitis, diarrhea, and weight loss.

No word yet if the waste company will face any citations or fines as a result.

Looking at that pink vapor gives me a little hankerin’ for a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar from the ice cream man (wherever he is!) soooooo…
Let’s switch gears to the favorite orders of New Englanders when they step up to the ice cream truck.

Who wins what New England state? Does Spongebob Squarepants with the gumball eyeballs win the popular vote in New England or does the Two Ball Screwball reign supreme? We’ll give you the state… and the most popular ice cream truck order in the state! The Shane Co came up with this deliciously tasty list of New England favs after doing their due diligence of yummy research.

New England's Favorite Ice Cream Truck Treats

  • Connecticut

    Choco Taco – I don’t think I’ve ever had a Choco Taco from an ice cream truck! I remember back in the ’90s when you could get them at Taco Bell. Good times. Now? They’re gone.

     

  • Maine

    Choco Taco – Sometimes when I’m at Crystal Lake in Harrison, the ice cream truck will roll up. The beach literally empties as every kid queues up for a treat. Pity they can’t get the state’s favorite anymore. For now…

  • Massachusetts

    Chipwich – Listen, I have no problem with the Chipwich. It’s a fine frozen treat. But it’s also something I can make at home. That plastic cone full of orange sherbet with the gumball at the bottom? That should be the leader in MA. That I can’t make at home.

  • New Hampshire

    Creamsicle – This is the one thing on the list that, as soon as I saw the word “Creamsicle,” I immediately thought: “I want a Creamsicle immediately.” Such a classic ice cream truck selection. Make it boozy and you’re taking it next-level.

     

  • Rhode Island

    Klondike Bar – Last summer, I spent a week with my family at Wells Beach. We rented a new place, and the family that rented before us left behind a whole package of Klondike Bars in the freezer. They didn’t last the weekend.

  • Vermont

    Bomb Pop – Some people call this one the “Firecracker.” Those people are wrong. This is a Bomb Pop, and it is the bomb indeed.
