Some creative Ad Exec deserves an award for coming up with this image of a Raid Roach Bait Trap shaped like an Ice Cream Truck with the sign “Sweet Death” hovering over it. That is so awesome. If only the traps were actually shaped like little Ice Cream Trucks. And now I have that Misfits song in my head. You know the one I’m thinking of…
