Ice cream is a summertime treat that is right up there with iconic American traditions like hot dogs, baseball, and 4th of July celebrations. Creameries offer all sorts of enticements such as topping selections, soft serve, dipped, and of course, there is always a plethora of savory and sweet blends that melt in your mouth. While all ice cream shops are not the same, they do share something in common. A family-friendly field trip to any ice cream store is time sensitive…and Koolfog cooling misters can truly save the day.
Timing is critical
When you make the decision to grab an ice cream cone, you know going in that you’re not able to take it home or save it for later. In most cases, the sun temps will be so hot that you’re not even going to make it to the car. A fresh ice cream cone requires immediate attention. Upon transfer from the scooper’s hand to yours, it’s already melting down the sides. You only have seconds to lick the drips, traversing the cone so as not to miss even one drop. Or heaven forbid, it melts so fast in the heat that it’s a slushy before you know it.
Cool your jets…it’s time for an ice cream run!!
Many establishments provide indoor seating in highly air-conditioned atmospheres to enjoy a good sundae. But somehow, the little parlor tables take away from the outdoor field trip experience. After all, you are going to cool off with a tasty treat, not hang out in a freezer. This is where Koolfog cooling misters come into play.
