As I said in the other thread… please fucking tell me that’s a joke… also… nothing says “Gen X is aging” like a product like this! Do ya think they’ll make a hardcore punk branded one, since this one seems to be for metalheads?

Don’t blame me, @KathyPartdeux posted it first. 
But I wouldn’t be surprised if it were real. As George Carlin once said, "If you nail together two things that have never been nailed together before, some schmuck will buy it.

When we moved into this house, the kitchen “boasted” the nastiest shade of avocado stove I’ve ever seen. I was so happy when mom replaced it, and I do not miss it!
I love avocados, but most iterations of the color churn my stomach. I also love most shades of green, but not that one!

Here is the equivalent from 40 years earlier.
It is both weird and odd. In the context of the movie, it just shows up from out of nowhere. I think Busby Berkeley dreamed this one up simply to put Ruby Keeler in an absurd cat costume and sabotage her career. I don’t blame him.
But I admire the sheer oddness of it. Especially when Keeler is vomited up out of that grotesque face. That had to be specially painted for the number.
I like the song to. I find myself singing it. A lot.

My childhood! 
What, no matching fridge, Formica® countertop, floor tiles, and wall color? 
Ok, full disclosure - I had to neutralize the decor before we listed it for sale. I didn’t want potential buyers to think they’d wound up in some Brady Bunch spinoff.

We had an avocado double wall oven when we moved in. Fortunately, the lower oven didn’t work, so we had to replace it.

I don’t remember the orig fridge, but I think it was white.
There was a wretched big brown floral pattern on dark beige vinyl wallpaper on the walls, an awful darkish beige vinyl “paper” with metallic gold bits! on the ceiling, and abysmal dark brown linoleum. I spose the lino was trying to look like ceramic tile, but it was an æsthetically displeasing failure. The four whole feet of countertops (only a slight exaggeration, I fear) were bad, but at least they didn’t have glitter in, nor were they Formica.® (Mom would’ve replaced 'em with Corian,® could we have afforded it.)
Before the remodeling, it was so damned dark. Walking into that kitchen was like going spelunking. There was a ceiling fixture in the main section of the room who didn’t throw nearly enough light, and the one in the fridge/sink/stove area was about equally useless.
The wallpaper came down, the flooring came up, the countertops were prised off, and were replaced by a warm and pleasant beige paint on the ceiling and upper walls, a really nice, classy Art Nouveau/Art Deco transition-looking floral-ish wallpaper border w/subtle metallic highlights at chair-rail height, and a warmer, slightly pinky-er beige vertical corduroy-esque paper beneath; green countertops; and I don’t know WTF made her decide on white w/beige and khaki vinyl flooring tiles on whomst she never did put the sealant. I guess the latter was a subconscious reaction against the dark dark dark lino what had been there. Had I any say in any of it, I’d’ve suggested a classy dark beige or medium green marble-looking floor.
She left the old wallpapers and lino in the basement stairway; I imagine as a sort of decorating object lesson re: For the Love of God, Don’t Do This!

When I took up carpet in my last house, there was sheet lino flooring that was printed to look like green shag carpet. It looked like squashed, rotting worms.
