"The way every American child can eat essentially without pause a so-called ice-cone, a cone with ice cream, in that moment one can find a kind of fulfillment of childhood happiness, toward which our children once craned their necks in vain — that is really an aspect of utopia fulfilled."

                  — Theodor W. Adorno, "Kultur und Culture" (1958)
