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.
