Breyer's Ice Cream
One hot August afternoon, as Nelson is driving home from work, he sees a billboard for Breyer's Ice Cream. He remembers that he is out of ice cream at home, and thinks it would be really great to have a nice, cold bowl of ice cream on such a hot day. So he stops into the convenience store near his home, heads straight for the dairy case, and picks up a half-gallon of strawberry ice cream.
