Nestle wants nothing to do with ice cream anymore.

I've bought them ON SALE, LOL and they are GOOD!
Funny thing is, I rarely buy any in WDW when vacationing.

That’s the opposite… I don’t buy Disney ANYTHING except for gift cards when outside of Disney… getting Stitch from a Walmart just isn’t the same as when you’re in Disney.

I believe the intent is to say that the platypus has sort of evolved into a dead end so as to be useless, thus a pejorative toward something that does not benefit us in the slightest (corporations, government, etc.). At least that's my interpretation.

That makes sense. I didn't understand the response about some rap song, but a corporation devolving would fit the situation. Thanks, BrianL.

We now return to the previous discussion, in progress... (And as a Bay Area native, I'm always rooting for Dreyer's, even if they have been bought up by a bigger company.)

Here’s the full version if you’re interested… listen to the lyrics very carefully if you check it out…

Sebring, Florida? Unless they can get milk from alligators, not enough milk available for an ice cream plant.

Well not today but cattle could be moved or milk could be moved to a local facility where most of the work happens, it doesn't all need to be on the same plot of land. No reason more jobs couldn't be added to Florida outside of travel and tourism.

Generally industries locate where the raw materials are already produced.

That might be true of some things but not necessarily all things. I lived in PA a long time and while there were cows, there were no massive cattle ranches like down south and Pa makes a LOT of ice cream. I think Texas has the most cattle in the US, seems like Cali has the most dairy cows. The closer the ice cream would be to WDW the fresher it would taste and the less environmental cost to hike the product to end user customer

Looks like California for the win.

Win of what?

Anyway, it is not necessary if the goal is the freshest end product. I imagine transporting milk is cheaper than transporting ice cream, mostly because milk is probably easier to move than ice cream that needs to stay frozen.

Overall you are being unnecessarily heavy handed on this oddball topic.

Is it for the quality of the milk or the finished ice cream product?

You are confusing “cattle ranches” (meat) and “dairy cows” (milk). According to Google (yes, I know it’s AI) PA is 2nd largest in the nation for dairy farms and 8th for milk production. Which goes along with the ice cream production done there.

Quality of all the raw ingredients. Ice Cream is stable enough once frozen to -20 degrees to transport 2,700 miles from California to Disneyworld ......as an example. Milk would not do as well going 2,700 miles to Florida, especially since milk tankers are not refrigerated.

Actually, after brief research, it appears to the oppose. Frozen ice cream is easy to transport. Fresh milk, since milk tankers are not refrigerated, not so much. No way milk would go from the cow to the finished ice cream in the 14-28 hours like it does locating the ice cream plant near the dairy.
