We have a gourmet ice cream stand two blocks from our house. They just opened for the season. Saw the 2024 price list this morning. 4 single dip waffle cones will set you back $32 plus tax (8%), public improvement fee (1.5%), and tip. Forty bucks to treat your family to ice cream cones.

Nobody needs a wheelbarrow full of cash, like in post WWI Germany, to buy ice cream because it’s all done electronically with an app or card. Is part of the reason inflation in the food and consumable sector is out of control because consumers really don’t notice at the time of the transaction?

Why do we hear about junk fees, but not about the ice cream?

Our local Cold Stone closed, I don’t think this one will survive very long, and there is a ton tied up in capital expense. I mostly blame Denver’s minimum wage and Colorado’s various new employer mandates. All the result of severe left wing ideology. The liberals don’t understand the long term effects of making it so expensive to employ workers. Especially the effects on franchises and small business.

Hipster food is expensive, and I feel like it is more susceptible to inflationary pressures.

Last time I visited my local ice cream shop that makes their own, it cost me $8 and change (2/3rds a Popeye's two-piece for those of you keeping track at home) for a single scoop in a waffle cone. I won't go back. (Owners are DePauw grads, BTW).

Culver's is $5 and change for a single scoop in a waffle cone. DQ still relatively cheap.

You can make your own ice cream cones at home. Hell you can make you own cones and ice cream. Quit being a lazy ass whiner expecting the government to take care of your problems.

I'm sure there's still a Dairy Queen somewhere in Denver that takes cash.

Anybody know where Joe got those RayBans? Like the tie, too. He might have just locked up my vote.

The cheap, basic corner basic ice cream shop has been dead for years.

We have a local neighborhood Graeter's that's been around for years, but it's always been pricey. Typically a $30+ trip for the 4 of us.

Commercial RE rent is too high to justify the cost of an ice cream shop in most areas unless it's a premium product.

We did get cheap ice cream at the beach in FL this year, of all at places. Found it funny that ice cream in Madeira Beach across the street from the Gulf was cheaper than in Indy.

Ann Arbor has a cheap neighborhood ice cream place. Visited it a couple months ago. My son was amazed: something like $3 for a two-scoop, big cone.

Oh. My. God. How did you find that!!! I was literally just thinking about velvet freeze last week. The fro yo we go to is a block down from MY velvet freeze we grew up with. I cannot believe one is still around.

So you’ll like this. Allegedly somewhere in st Charles is a Pantera’s pizza

Yo Murt, did you hear Clay & Buck today? They're shilling some "patriot" coffee bullshit of some sort, so were telling the listeners that if they do business with Starbucks they're supporting transgender surgeries. No, I am not kidding.

i haven't had to hit any of our remote factories we work with in a bit. i only listen then. i swear to god we should just come up with the mostly absurdly patriotic product and dump all our money into advertising on there. doesn't matter how shitty the product is that audience will buy it. it's unreal. you know those two will get caught on a hot mic at some point saying "who is buying this shit"

Bam!!!!

I like businesses that disrupt industries. That’s what my projects do. And at some point they will notice us. But hockey is my ultimate goal. I want to disrupt hockey.

Listen to me. No more 30 second shifts. 3 minute shifts. Let them get a feel for the game. They come off the ice too fast. Two lines and two subs. Not four lines. We use the salaries for the third and fourth lines to fund better players on the two lines. Two dominant lines. One defenseman sub. One forward sub. No one on our team fights. No stupid penalties. Discipline.

We would CRUSH ANY LEAGUE

Don’t think so. Hockey isn’t like soccer. It’s a much faster game. The subs are needed. These dudes are dripping in sweat after 90 seconds on the ice. Each shift is like sprinting level or just under that level.

You want to shake up hockey? Think the Williams sisters. You get some inner city black kids who are tremendous athletes to play hockey and you will revolutionize the sport.
