Remember when Elizabeth Warren campaign tried their best to ruin mint chocolate ice cream, Bianchi bikes, and Hatsune Miku (hexbear.net)

In a way the color choice here represented everything wrong with her stupid campaign and its failure with voters. She was counting on everyday people to catch the Easter egg about this being a nod to the Statue of Liberty and finding her to be clever for it, instead of just going "What is this pastel shit?" and moving on with their lives.

Fucking hell, I never even got that. I thought that it is just a focus group tested inoffensive color scheme that somewhat stands out (because people associate seafoam green color with a lot of good things, like I said, mint ice cream, Hatsune Miku, Bianchi bike frame, and Fender guitars).

Yes, it continues to be a failure years after the campaign's end
