Ice cream, once an everyday, affordable source of joy, has morphed into a luxury good, violating our fundamental summertime right to cold and creamy salvation. In the US, prices at scoop shops have jumped more than 35% since 2019, when the average cost of a cone was about $4.50, according to Technomic, a research firm. “It’s sort of this perfect storm.” It’s not uncommon for an ice cream shop to charge more than $8 for a couple of scoops; multiply that by four for a family, and parents now paying the price of a small meal.
The fuck would you buy from a truck? Don't you have a freezer in your home? Retarded thread.
>>22075518You dont go to the ice cream shop to get cones and jimmies? Do you prance around the house with a scooper and sprinkle it on ur own cone? faggot
>>22075524The fuck would I go to a restaurant just for ice cream? I can get half a gallon of like 20 different ice creams for around 4 bucks. I can even buy sprinkles and nuts and cones there too. Hell right now you can go to Costco and get like 20 frozen drumstick cones for 70 cents each. Again, retard thread.
It's not even ice cream at this point. You're paying for corn syrup and stabilizers. Store bought ice cream tastes awful and you're paying the goy tax
>>22075529A gallon of ice milk is now $9. There is vanilla or chocolate.
>>22075512>when the average cost of a cone was about $4.50Gosh. That was the price where I live in 2009 lol>It’s not uncommon for an ice cream shop to charge more than $8And that's only slightly higher than what it was pre-'rona. I'm not even sure how much it is now. We just buy ice cream when it's on sale, though we did go out for ice cream the other night but at a cornershop deli type place rather than a proper parlour. $10 for the three of us.
>>22075622Nope. Chuck Testa
>>22075529>you can go to Costco and get like 20 frozen drumstick cones for 70 cents eachlmao$4.99 for an 8ct box at all three major supermarket chains in my area right now. That's 62.5¢ per Drumstick, proving yet again that Costco is a store for retards.
>>22075512My local crest had a sale for American thanksgiving where they sold cartons of that cheap vanilla soft serve in a box for 99cents. Shit was so sex with somme frozen peaches i found in the back of my freezer from three years ago
>>22075668All smooth ice cream can be soft serve if you care enough. Buy a heavy silicone piping bag (we got ours from πkea), put the largest tip you have on it and fill it halfway to two-thirds full of ice cream and massage it a bit then squeeze out into your cone. You can even do swirls if you use two or more additional piping bags. Fill them, put them into the silicone bag and squeeze. : )
Ice cream sucks anyway. Pudding is better.
Anyone find these very underrated?
It's a cash business so now they're switching to armored trucks in some vibrant areas.
>>22075715Either that or it's their side business.
>>22075727Got to be safe in the hood.
Anyone enjoy the new ice cream truck jingle that was mandated?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=broo2NZmiDE&pp=ygUUcnphIGljZSBjcmVhbSBqaW5nbGU%3D
You should probably eat less anyway
>>22075731I would not buy from that, they probably put estrogen in the icecream
>>22075731Place looks kino
>>22075512Is Beast Boy really the most popular Teen Titans character
>>22075744We still get https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y5IP_e4oLY
That's why my number one used appliance in summer is my ninja creami>>22075710Ice cream is frozen pudding mix
>>22075512What are we not being priced out of? Then again, I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't eat the stuff anyway.
>>22075774Shilling the creami. Add lactose enzyme to gallon of milk, make your own, or use coconut milk. I went from 0 ice cream to daily. Mix it with $1 pudding mix for ez ice cream

>>22075611tell me you haven't bought ice cream without telling me.
>>22075783He isn't wrong, you are just an eater if goyslop.
>Live in extreme vast luxurious unsustainable excess for decades>Prices for food has plummeted for the majority of the 20th century>Reach an ebb>"This is literally hell"Humanity's best and worst trait is to adapt to current circumstances and treating anything less than the last peak to be armageddon upon their soul.
>>22075512I have my own ice cream maker, I just buy ingredients and make my own, enjoy your gums and whipped air to increase volume in the only food product in the United States sold solely by volume not weight.

>>22075731The bottoms of those bowls were just too hot
General inflation since 2019 is 32% so ice cream being up 35% isn't all that notable.
>>22075714The local store brand is much cheaper, and tastes the same.
>>22075714Now the big question, was it always a frozen diary dessert or once upon a time actual ice cream?
>>22075913It doesn’t
>>22075714>vanilla flavoured frozen dessert >cant even legally call itself a dairy product
>>22075767he's green, not human
>>22076086How can you misread, misquote and be outraged by a single sentence? Takes some form of skill but not one you put on a CV.
>>22075524don’t you think it’s kind of sad it’s becoming increasingly unreasonable to regularly go to restaurants, cafes, bars, etc?
>>22075512My nephew wanted a sponge bob Ice Cream from the ice cream truck and the Indian guy was like $10 sir and I told him to fuck off. These things were like $1.50 not that long ago
>>22076603By next year the floor for a basic American meal at a sit down mom and pops shop will be like $20 for like a burger and fries + tax + tip. On the plus side I have seen reports that claim obesity rates are declining maybe its related?
>>22075770Making your own sweet stuff is great because once you see how much sugar and bad shit is in it, it turns you off from ever eating it. When I helped my mom make cheese cake once and saw brick after brick of cream cheese go in I never ate that shit ever again
>>22076645Food companies are already claiming Ozempic and related drugs are responsible for declining food sales.
>>22075787>Humanity's best and worst trait is to adapt to current circumstances and treating anything less than the last peak to be armageddon upon their soul.Here's the thing. 60 years ago new brands of slop would emerge to fight the price gouging and give people a cheaper option. This is much harder to do these days due to corporatism and over regulation. So we are literally being forced to not adapt due to government regulations. Doritos lost billions because they refuse to adapt and overcharge like $7 a bag and their response is a slight price decrease to $6 for a product that takes them less than a dollar to make. A competitor could easily swoop in offering something comparable for $3 but good look fighting with PepsiCo and the power they have and connection to retail spaces.
>>22076647I can't believe we are seeing food with "GLP-1 safe" advertising on the box now next to my "protein" pop tarts.If demand is going down like they claim what does that mean business and markets? You lower the price not raise it.
>>22075529>The fuckYou know you've just got to ignore cunts after they write that. What a massively colossal faggot
Wew. Americans are akin to 3rd worlders. They don't understand this but they really are.
>"3rd worlders" rule over younice self own retard lol
>>22076656Hello 3rdie. Sorry you're offended and I can see that you got deeply upset and wounded. Just a few hours and you can go back to licking corporate boots and desperately pretending that you're actually part of something. Poor little thing
>screeching nonsensehow bad must Europe be if "3rd worlders" control it lol?
>>22076662Ooh @ me 'bro' you're winning. Control? It's time for bed.
>he's already floundering and seething over an argument he startedkek
>>22076645>By next year the floor for a basic American meal at a sit down mom and pops shop will be like $20 for like a burger and fries + tax + tipGosh, I wish it was that low. That must be the "nobody actually wants to live here so everything is cheap" price. Like how you can buy a house in Bumfuck, Mississippi for a scrap of cloth and five Jujubees.
>>22076669Here in NYC you can still find places like that. There are diners everywhere here that still offer that price.
>>22075665Cant hear you over the sounds of extremely cheap Costco alcohol
>>22075731>>22075715What is this, an icecream truck or a traffic sign? Make up your mind, truck.
>>22075512>Ice cream, once an everyday, affordable source of joy,
>>22075714The best and only style of ice cream sandwich
>We are being priced out of Ice-creamAt least what you want is available, though. A couple years ago, they introduced a soft-serve ice cream called Brown Bunny which was amazing. This summer I tried to look for it in my grocer's freezer, but alas! can't find it. Probably pulled for toxicity or something. Softserve isn't exactly easy to pull off, so who knew what was in it.
>>22075518>>22075529Shut the fuck up.
>>22076656>>22076662>>22076668>can't quote properlyNot that anon but go back to r*ddit already.

>>22075512>e average cost of a cone was about $4.50,buy a tub from a supermarket.cheapest is less than 5 bucks. at least 10 scoops in a tub.it's likes all you wokies always buy the most expensive organic shit from commiefornia and then cry about it.
Who is fuck is Jeni and why is her ice cream so expensive?
