It’s probably not a great time to share a last name with Carole Baskin.

Are Americans silly enough to think that there is a connection between Baskin, who is being slammed for how she treats big cats in the wake of Tiger King’s global success, and Baskin-Robbins, the ice cream brand?

I mean, look who they voted in as president. Better to be safe than sorry.

Obviously, this Baskin-Robbins outlet in Junction City, Kansas, was just having a laugh, but the free press certainly won’t hurt the outlet’s chances to keep the lights on during what is a tough time for businesses.

Peggy Heldstab, who runs the outlet, said she had twice as much business on Sunday, when she put the sign up, than she did the day before.

This Facebook post shows the sign, and let’s also take a moment to appreciate the comments on the right-hand side:

Baskin-Robbins, started by Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins back in 1945, is famous for having 31 original flavours, in case you’re not getting the second quip.

If I was Peggy Heldstab, I would watch my back.

When asked for comment, Joe Exotic simply said “that bitch!”
