Dippin' Dot Ice Cream

Dippin' Dots ice cream is an ice cream snack was invented by Curt Jones in 1987. The confection is created by the flash-freezing ice cream mix up into small spheres at temperatures ranging from 20 to 70 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.

The company, headquartered is placed in Paducah, Kentucky, does not sell its product in "take-home" outlets are available as supermarkets. On its official site, the company notes that its product requires storage at the temperatures below zero Fahrenheit, which is considerably colder than the standard home freezers. Dippin' Dots are sold that in individual servings at franchised outlets, most of the shopping malls, and in high-tech vending machines. They are also sold over the Internet for delivery to homes and the businesses.

Dippin’ Dots are very small, round pellets of very cold ice cream that are unique in shape and texture, and tasty unlike any other ice cream. While Dippin’ Dots are quite sure to appeal to kids, they have absolutely no redeeming value for an ice cream lover such as anybody. To begin with, they are so cold that actually found them painful to eat. Sometime your mouth could get numb by the time you finish them. It could be bought what was supposed to be “Banana Split” flavor, but they tasted nothing like a banana split. Maybe it was just because to your mouth was partially numb, but normally couldn’t really taste much flavor at all. Then there’s the cost of Dippin’ Dots. You need to pay $2.29 for a 5 oz tub, which is the equivalent of $58.61 a gallon. For this price, you would expect the best tasting ice cream you ever had. Young kids may like Dippin’ Dots because of their novelty, but true ice cream lovers shouldn’t bother to a waste of their money on this sad excuse for a frozen dessert

Dippin' Dots can be found at some McDonald's locations also.

History

The Dippin’ Dots® story brings together science, invention, entertainment, entrepreneurial spirit, and also persistence.

Microbiologist Curt Jones first pursued the concept of a great ice cream innovation in 1986. Curt’s knowledge of the cryogenic freezing methods to lead him to thoughts of creating a for ice cream treat consumers would value as unusually fresh and flavorful. Experiments with cryogenically freezing an ice cream mix made from any old family recipe led to the flash-freezing of the very first tiny beads of ice cream. Curt’s theory proved to be very true…flash-freezing does even make richer, fresher tasting ice cream. Plus, good because of the small round shape of any beads his little ‘dots’ were irresistible fun to eat!
