Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.

    As a European just let me say wow.

    This is wrong on so many levels. And I assume you’re not aware of half of them.

        Aside from the environmental impact of driving 10 (!) Extra miles (or at all) for a tiny bit of extra ice cream, which is neither healthy nor needed. It just doesn’t make sense on a personal financial level to waste so much gas to get a cheaper (per volume) treat. For a European driving to get ice cream alone is ridiculous as many placed have ice cream shops in the town we live in that we walk or bike to.

          I was thinking with the petrol expense factored in wouldn’t it work out cheaper just to buy 2?

          Adding to that, it’s not even icecream but a industrial replacement of (likely) dubious quality.

          So one could get more in better quality cheaper if consumed regularly.

          Oh, I thought they were taking about the ice cream itself as if it had some ungodly ingredients and sprinkles of human rights violations. Now I feel silly.

          Thank you!

      As a Canadian, lol.

      I hope I’m aware of at least 3/4’s of the levels of wrongness. We’re pretty influenced by American culture but still have our own identity. It seems to be fading a bit with time but I remember travelling to the US and thinking why is the yogurt so sweet? Why is the bread sweet?
