Dippin Dots
Have any of you ever had Dippin Dots ice cream? The first time I ever had them was about 2 years ago at a fair, and in fact it was the first time I had heard of them. Then on the Food Network a couple of nights ago, they went to the factory and showed them making the Dippin Dots etc. Pretty facinating, just wondered if you all had heard about them or not.

No, but if you ever have a chance to try an It's-it, do it. Invented at Playland at the beach in SF in about 1924, as a sandwich with 2 oatmeal cookies with vanilla ice cream in the middle and the whole thing flash frozen and dipped in chocolate.

I've had something similar to that. Anything made from ice cream is usually good.
As far as dippin dots. have them everytime I go to the ball park (AAA Tides). They are good, and don't melt quite so fast.

I really love dippin dots. they're spectacular. But I think if they brought them to us at a lower price, their sales would grow exponentially. They're out of my price range and only get them when dad pays at the state fair.

I remember those "It's It" ice cream sandwiches from Whitney's Playland at the Beach. They were and are still good. They're still in business.

Dippin Dots
Invented in Southern Illinois by a guy who was a biology major at Soutehrn illinois universit and it was some sort of method for cryogenic freezing of I think cattle sperm that led to the invention of the dippin dots ice cream. Somethng about the moisture from the process froze in the shape and allit was was ice crystals but they froze very hard.
No dippin dots is not cattle sperm. My brother in law actually knows the guy who invented them.

I buy 'em for the kids at Lagoon park in Salt Lake City. Yup, they're expensive, but you're talking about a place where a bottle of water is $2.50.
The -20 F storage limit means they won't show up on the grocery store shelf anytime soon, eh?
