There are these people who love ice cream. No one would argue with them that ice cream is a good thing. They make ice cream and they encourage people to try ice cream and make ice cream a regular part of everyone’s life.
These proponents of ice cream have been around for a long time – long before ice cream became popular. In the beginning, various groups emerged everywhere in support for ice cream, eventually getting us to the ice cream loving world we live in today.
However, not all is well. These various groups feel very strongly about how ice cream should be eaten. Some purists see using a scoop as the only “correct” way to eat ice cream. Other purists think that eating straight out of the tub is best, since it’s the fastest and most direct way to consume the ice cream. Yet another faction insists not only on the use of the scoop, but for a magnificent presentation of the dessert.
In these rough times, ice cream is plentiful, and people generally love ice cream, but there is constant disagreement over the correct way to eat it. In fact, some people have become so dedicated to promoting their method of eating ice cream that they have little time left to eat ice cream themselves, sometimes letting ice cream melt and go to waste. Worse still, some people have started eating other cold, refreshing desserts like frozen yogurt. Oh my!
Thankfully, not everyone is as concerned about all of this. Most people enjoy having the option of having a cold tasty dessert and see no reason to limit themselves to a particular way of eating ice cream, or any frozen dessert.
Meanwhile, those fervent supporters of spoons, scoops, and sundaes continue to spend a tremendous amount of energy supporting their cause, losing sight of the original intent of their forefathers. The fight to promote cold tasty desserts has been won, but yet they fight on.
