Licker Shock!

Sticker shock at the pump isn't the only thing Americans are facing. This summer will bring "licker" shock at the ice cream stand. Ice cream makers cite sharply higher costs of milk, vanilla and cocoa. It'll mean a jump in prices for your favorite flavor, anywhere from six percent to 20 percent. For instance, a pint of Ben & Jerry's is going to cost 8 percent more. And a multipack of Klondike bars will cost about 10 cents more. Massachusetts-based Friendly's ice cream chain cut its half-gallon tub from 64 ounces to 56 ounces earlier this year, and it just increased its retail prices by five percent.

I read that yesterday... The part I was shocked over ws that on average, a person only consumes 26 servings of ice cream a year.







-blink blink-





If that's the average, and I KNOW I eat at least 4 times that a year, how many people out there aren't partaking in the BLISS?

26 servings?--I eat that much a yr. & I am diabetic & am not supposed to!
Proprietors will use ANY excuse to raise prices.There is an Ice Cream vendor(outside) here,that is only open in the summertime.
My wife & I go there,on summer nights,to get an Ice Cream,but
mainly to watch the wide variety of people.It is a drive-in type of
place.We never,park in the front row,because you can't see the
people,as good!A few yrs.ago,they paved the parking lot & put
out new picnic tables & table umbrellas.I told my wife-"Now they
have an excuse to raise the prices!"Sure enough,the next week,
the prices went up,alot!Now,they will go up again.We live on a
fairly close budget.The last rate increase,our trips,halved.I wonder what will happen this time.It will probably be like the "old"
A & Ws.I would get a "baby"root beer($.50)& nurse it all night.

We have 1 old fashioned ice cream stand here in town, the kind where you walk up to the window, and order, with picnic tables in front. It can be 55, windy, and drizzling, and that place will have 25 people waiting in line.

We need more good old fashioned places like that.

All we have around here are the old fashioned ice cream stands. So far the prices haven't gone up, but our gas just shot up to 98 cents per litre!

I wish fuel was a cheap as that here in the UK - its just gone up to 81.9pence a litre.

I feel very comfortable with that figure of 26 servings a year. It's the size of my servings that leave me a bit uncomfortable. ha ha

So ... here in Hew Hampshire, the price for a gallon of milk now exceeds the price for a gallon of gas. Huh?
