Riding my motorcycle today along the country roads, I stumbled upon this old Squirt advertisement on the side of an old merchandise store. I just had to pull over and take pictures.  laugh

That's cool, some of that stuff still exists and you can't take that one down.

I think its neat that they couldn't take the time to spell out General Merchandise but they could paint the Squirt Boy perfectly.

That's a nice one!  I came across a few in a small town called Mt Gilead in NC, I can't tell if they were repainted, either way pretty cool to see.
