The Soda Fountain

We are still screaming for ice cream, and it doesn’t sound like the clamor is letting up. Each American eats about 32 quarts a year, which makes ice cream by far America’s favorite sweet. And in the last ten years, we have seen an explosion of flavors, textures, and colors the likes of which we’ve never seen before. Keeping pace are the large number of faster, simpler ice cream machines on the market. Even with a hundred flavors, we want it our way. To us that means intense: not just chocolate, but bitter chocolate; lemon—not just tart, but creamy too; double vanilla; and sorbets the very essence of fruits and wines.
