Knew the person who ran one of the biggest ice cream factories on earth. Visited one time and there was a chocolate bar on their desk, untouched and melting. When I pointed it out they said they just want the chocolate coating so… While that facility also didn’t let you put your mouth under the nozzle they did have mini fridges lining the walls so you could just grab some ice cream whenever you felt like. New employees gained weight as soon as they signed the contract.

  Read it a few times, think they meant an ice cream sandwich or chocolate popsicle. The employee was drowning in free ice cream, to the point of wasting a full bar (melting and throwing away) just to eat the coating.

    Ahhh, that makes more sense, thank you.

This indeed the problem. I -love- ice-cream. I'd happily eat it every day. As a child I looked forward to growing up, and being able to. Now I'm in a place I could afford to do that, but alas, my metabolism can't keep up with the calories. (Sigh). If I buy it, I eat it, so I don't really buy it anymore. But at least I indulge on special occasions, and even more occasionally make a batch of my own. Sure, I'm a lot thinner now, which is great. But ice-cream will always be my first love.
