* Both Baskin-Robbins and Wendy's signage and store decor originally invoked this trope; some elements still remain.
** There are pretty much no Gay Nineties elements left in "BR" now, but the old Farrell's Ice Cream Parlours [https://web.archive.org/web/20111006040852/http://www.happyitis.biz/Tidbits/stage_is_set.htm reveled in this trope] — and it looks like the [https://web.archive.org/web/20090826094535/http://www.farrellsusa.com/FutureProjects.aspx revival] will use it too (along with some patriotic red-white-and-blue).
*** It was pretty much a stock trope for ice cream parlours of a certain era. Up until at least [[The Eighties|the 1980s]], [https://web.archive.org/web/20141218092723/http://www.swensens.com/ Swensen’s] tried to evoke a Gay Nineties feel through the use of style and decor.
