Larger portions are more effective in minimizing the amount of ice cream wasted after consumption, provided consumption occurs in a cone-free environment. In addition, eating directly out of the storage receptacle will further reduce the amount of ice cream waste. The following experiment has been devised to support this hypothesis. Two bowls of chocolate ice cream are served. Sample A contains two more scoops than sample B. After consumption a visual inspection of the bowls reveals the same amount of melted ice cream residue. By this we may interpolate that serving size is not directly proportional to the amount of residue wasted. One may also infer that by reducing the number of containers the ice cream is transplanted into will reduce waste further. In conclusion the practice of serving small bowls of ice cream is wasteful and can only be justified by either licking the resultant residue or eating a second bowl.

You're so funny--I need to buy you an ice cream trough! ;D
ReplyDeleteYour article made me laugh and think about the video Tom and Darwin and the kids made. You might want to change one word, reciprocal, because it means to turn a fraction over or to have some kind of a mutual agreement, I think. Maybe you could use receptacle? Love, Mom
ReplyDeletePS I'll have to change my name from Mary Jane! How can I do that?
