This juxtaposition of a row of trash containers and a faded Mint Julep advertisement offers an incongruous contrast between reality and fantasy. The four garbage cans are starkly realistic – the can first in line even opens its jaws to seemingly consume even more trash. The comparison between unpleasant garbage and a taste treat is strikingly incongruous. Meanwhile, the faded sign once promised a “delicious” and “refreshing” experience. Yet the sign’s now faded colors also tell us that this “new drink” is not new any more, and that perhaps its time may well have come and gone.
