Fact:
- 1988 - Dippin' Dots established as a company in Grand Chain, Illinois by Curt Jones
- 1994 - Curt Jones named an Ernst & Young “Entrepreneur of the Year” finalist
- Dippin' Dots company Motto - "The Ice Cream of the Future"
- Dippin' Dots are tiny beads of cryogenicly frozen ice cream, yogurt, sherbet and flavored ice.
Opinion:
Dippin' Dots is not The Ice Cream of the Future. In fact, nearly 20 years later, this amusement park phenomenonom, is hardly replacing Ben & Jerry's, Eddy's, Haggan Dhas, etc.
I, for one, don't want to eat anything that has been cryogenicly frozen, call me old fashioned. When I think of cryogenics, I think of Michael Jackson. I certainly don't want to be thinking of MJ while I'm enjoying a nice ice cream cone.
...and don't get me started about the cone. Which I think barely takes second place to the ice cream itself. I'd like to see how you're supposed to eat a two scoop cone of Dippin' Dots.
Ice cream is supposed to be creamy, designed to be licked, and meant to be cold. It is not supposed to be beads, chewed, or cryogenicly frozen.
And in the famous words of Forest Gump, "that's all I have to say about that".
