Pure Genius - Dipping Dots

Do you know what dipping dots are? Dipping dots are little balls of ice cream invented in 1980 and advertised as "The Ice Cream of The Future". Whoever invented these things is a genius.

Dipping dots are suppsedly made by some sort of super-freezing process that makes them taste better than normal ice cream, but that is total B.S.. They taste just like ice cream. The genius is that the inventor figured out a way to fit less actual ice cream in a given amount of space (or container) and charge more for it. My daughter always wants the dots at basketball games, and the container shown at right, at its actual size, sells for $5
