Because ice cream doesn’t have teeth ™
A non-sequitur standard answer.. a wild card answer for anything….to so many questions posed to the Waldos.
Uh Who Told You That? The Guy Who Sells You the Stuff? ™
Uh Who Told You That Backstory One Waldo’s father was a Brooklyn-born and raised fellow who had already been living in California for many years (by the time his Waldo son was a teen), however, a number of N.Y. traits remained. Among them were a Brooklyn accent and a depression-era no nonsense hard dose of […]
I Yi Yi Gabba” (pronounced Eye Yi Yi Gabba) ™
This simply means “goodbye”. This is how the Waldos would occasionally say goodbye in person with a hand wave, or on the telephone.
Consolation Donut ™
Guys in every city and town across America, would go out and hunt for women-dates-pickups-girlfriends on Friday or Saturday nights. Much later on in the evening, The Waldos would see guys-strangers walking around by themselves eating a donut (or some other sweet treat) who had obviously struck out with women that same night.

Gabba Gabba Gaa ™
Sound used to denote complaining on-and-on… multiple frequent complaints by any individual. “Gabba Gabba Gaa” is usually said two or three times in succession … like a repetitive political-demonstration chant, with a tone of somebody complaining or somewhat angry. And there is a little more tone of anger-emphasis on the last syllable of “Gaa”. Backstory […]
Emilio ™
As in the name Emilio…pronounced Eemeelio. A back and forth multiple “hello” greeting between two Waldos, that sometimes would turn into a little competition to see who could say it the most enthusiastically, and also who could put the most emphasis on the “mee” portion of Eemeelio. Emilio would be fun to say because the […]
