"In the pink" simply means "in perfect order" or "in good health"... It's been a part of the English language for more than 400 years, and is certainly still in common usage in the UK and Canada. Do I gather from the comments here that Americans don't say it anymore? Presumably some do if it made its way onto an Archie cover.

And while I do think the double entendre was deliberate, there surely must be enough Americans who understand its "in good health" meaning to justify its use as a double entendre here...

I think there’s only one right mentality to have and it’s “Always buying”
